I got a new laptop and it's got Windows 10 pre installed...and before I even so much as access the internet I want to rip out the HDD and install a Solid State drive I have coming...so what should I do?....1) download all the security updates and new drivers (using iobit driverbooster) to the original hard drive and then created a "backup" on USB using windows recovery thing...or should I install the drivers after I swap out the hard drive or what....or do I need to use the SSD "cloning" software to reinstall windows on the SSD drive?
1Clone it is best solution. – Moab – 2016-01-23T03:31:31.603
1Why don't you just download the .ISO, install Windows 10 on the SSD, then install the drivers? Your license key will automatically detect your key, download the drivers from another PC if you want, but you should get basic functionality with a basic installation. The OEM installation isn't worth keeping nothing special about it – Ramhound – 2016-01-23T04:39:23.563
