hello i am going to be changing my ssd to a bigger one but i have already upgrade my windows 7 to windows 10. i have had a look online and you can do a fresh reinstall without a key as your system is registered on the windows database but my worry is that i am changing the ssd so my system is changing my question is am i going to have to buy a new windows 10 key :confused:

Many thanks

sorry have managed to solve problem i have spoke to a microsoft techie and he has said that you can reinstall but you have to reinstall your original windows so for me windows 7 then do all the updates again and just re-upgrade again. thought i would post this just incase anyone else is having the same issues

Ok maybe I won't try that lol I had an online chat with the Microsoft tech team and he sed that I would have reinstall windows 7 do all the updates and upgrade again so I got him to confirm a second time that I would be able to upgrade my copy of windows 7 for a second time and he sed yes
