Hey all. I've been running this computer for a good 3 years now and it's never been formatted. I've got a tonne of crap on here, so I want to format it and reinstall windows 10. I have an internal SSD and an internal HDD. I put everything that I would like to keep on the HDD (backups, software installers etc.) I would like to format the SSD (but not the HDD), reinstall Win10, then copy the backups\installers from the HDD back onto the SSD and set it all up. I tried going into Windows and doing the "Reset" thing, but it said it wasn't going to work. I've heard that does a crappy job anyway, so let's do this properly. I've got some questions before I destroy my afternoon tomorrow: #1) This version of Win10 was upgraded from a version of Windows 7. I've since lost the product key from that version of Win7 because I'm highly intelligent. Is there a way of finding out what my product key is? #2) I figure the safest way of making sure I don't lose anything from the HDD would be to disconnect the HDD, format\install Win10 on the SSD then re-connect the HDD. Will doing that mess with the Win10 activation? #3) How do I make sure Win10 doesn't gently caress up activating itself like it did for me on my other computer? #4) How do I make sure Win10 doesn't gently caress up activating itself? Cheers!
