OMEN Computer- The OS is installed on a NVMe SSD 256GB. I purchased a new NVMe SSD 2TB. Now when I switch them out I will lose the OS. I also Purchased a Windows 10 Home. Should I first put my win 10 on a different drive then transfer it to the new NVMe after its installed?

Or can I switch the NVMe's and, Install my new Win. 10 onto as computer that has NO OS at all?

Small world, my two sons each have an Omen running W10. There are choices here but none require a new W10 License.

  1. Just install W10 and let it digitally activate if you want a clean install.
  2. Clone the drive. A bit of work as I usually have to clone it twice. Once to some other drive, then again from other drive to the NVMe drive.

Save your new W10 license for another day.
