We’ve made it easy to check your support renewal status, in addition to upgrade eligibility. To be absolutely certain that you can't possibly lose any data by accident during Windows installation, I also recommend physically disconnecting the SATA data cables from all drives except the one you're installing onto before powering up for the installation.

And since the Windows 10 installer is actually fairly brisk onto an SSD, that worst case isn't very bad. Worst case, you've wasted a bit of time putting stuff on a new SSD that doesn't work, and you'll need to wipe it and start over.

I think you can use a key from a 32 bit OS to activate a 64 bit version of the same edition but it's been too long since I tried this to be sure.

Next best case, as above except that the installer refuses to accept an 8.1 product key, and you need to do the installation without one and then run a CMD window as administrator and enterĪs mrg notes, the only way any of these approaches are going to work is if the key you captured is for the same edition (Home or Professional) as the Windows 10 you're installing.

Posted by mrg at 6:40 PM on Septemīest answer: I'd do a clean install from an ISO installer onto the new blank SSD after capturing the existing 8.1 installation's licence key with the Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder.īest case, it Just Works and you have a perfectly clean Windows 10 installation on your SSD with no upgrade cruft that needs cleaning up and have wasted no time cloning an old installation. I would recommend a backup or a clone first before doing this, though, in case the activation fails. You do have to make sure you select the Windows 10 edition that matches the 8.1 one that you have the key for - so no activating Windows 10 Pro on a 8.1 Home key. You can also (at least for now, with Windows 10) click "I don't have a product key" when booted into the 10 installer and then try activating it later with the 8.1 key. If it doesn't like your key, it'll error before you make any actual drive changes. can't imagine that it'd matter much, as you have to provide the product key before then. I haven't tried this with anything I actually wanted to keep the existing install on, though. It's been a while, though that said I've done it with 7 keys that were past their expiration point for upgrading to 10 and that went OK, but your mileage may vary. I have had luck with installing Windows 10 using either typed-in Windows 7 or 8 key (or just using the one captured in the machine's BIOS, which is slightly easier because hey no actual typing!) by using the standard 10 installer, going through the Custom method and installing on a fresh drive, and then going from there. That way you'll also have a backup of the existing drive/installation (since you can then remove the old drive once it's done). It should pick up the key from the 8.1 install, or it may also be stored in the BIOS, which it'll also pick up on.

You should create a new Window s PE rescu e CD on your new hardware.You can clone the old drive onto the new drive ( last time I used Macrium Reflect for this - should work on Windows 8.1), then update to Windows 10 from that, from either a burned ISO or a USB stick using the normal Windows 10 downloader tool (under Create Windows 10 installation media).
