Win 10 install on new drive

[Donaldmac]

Hi guys, I have a 120gb ssd as my main drive for my OS whitch is Windows 10, however my drive is no longer big enough, due to various apps being installed. I have ordered a new bigger ssd, but because Windows ten was an 8.1 update and I have no disk. How do I do a fresh install on my new drive without a win 10 disk or key? Do I have to reinstall 8.1 then upgrade again?

You can install 10 using your windows 8 key. Use a program like magic jellybean to get your key.

I still have my key from Windows 8. How do I get hold of a copy of Windows ten?

Or you could simply clone the current ssd to the new ssd using free software such as Macrium Reflect or Clonezilla.
