Upgrading to SSD from HDD thinking Clean install of Windows 10
Hello Everyone,
I just bought a new Solid State Drive that should be here Monday. I'm thinking about doing a clean install for my Windows 10 but I'm not sure how I can do this. I cannot find the email where I purchased Windows 10 and I'm not sure what email I used at that time. I do know when I go to my setting > Updates and Security > Activation... it shows "Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account". I do know how to get into my Microsoft account but I'm not showing Windows 10 in the recent purchases and this is the account that is setup on my laptop. What do I do to be able to do a clean install without the disk or ISO file?
I also know I can clone my current HDD and have it copied over to the new SSD but I wanted to make sure I get rid of all the junk files that maybe on my hard drive if I do it this way.
What way would be the best way to do this?
Laptop Info:
Toshiba Satellite
Factory OS was Windows 8.1
Upgraded to Windows 10 later

1 TB HDD Toshiba
(New - Getting Monday) 1 TB SSD Samsung
Thanks,
Veronica
