Let me know if I have this process correct:
1. Download Windows 10 on a dvd or USB. My Bios has CD/DVD Rom already enabled so i'll be using that.
2. Install SSD in computer, using Sata and power cable. Unplug HDD.
3. Boot up computer with disc in and install Windows 10 on the SSD. Apparently you don't need a key and it should detect W10 already on your bios.
4. Download whatever essentials to it.
5. Shut down computer and rehook HDD up. Restart and boot into bios, set boot priority to SSD first.
6. Possibly format old HDD?
Thanks, friends.
