    Thanks for all the guidance. Very helpful!

    chrunos, you said, "And then upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 on SSD. If anything goes wrong with windows 10, you still have the windows 7 on your hard drive." Please confirm that this is a typo as I only have 8.1. If not a typo, please elaborate. Thanks.

    If you've not upgraded yet you could consider taking the activation token from your existing 8.1 and then just removing you old drive and doing a clean install on the SSD, Clean Install Windows 10 Directly without having to Upgrade First - Windows 10 Forums
