Cloning issue
 

Depending on the cloning s/w you might not be able to have both disks on the same computer as some cloning s/w will ALSO clone the disk id and the bios won't like having 2 disks with the same id.

I think your license is tied to your Windows account. If you sign in with one of those you are OK to change hardware.
I have just changed the main C: drive, power supply and video card and the new install went fine. My W10 Pro is showing as activted.

Interesting. I've tried the spare SSD drive in my laptop today and it boots in W10 okay. I felt safer doing this as I was reverting back to the usual SSD which has W7 installed.

As I mentioned, the above information is interesting but it's not the highest issue I have to cope with right now. I will endeavour to get things as I want them rather than be manipulated by you know who. 230 SSD in the front end and the 2TB as the data drive(s) D and E is my ideal.

The big issue is, can I get away with introducing the Pro that's on the SSD when the PC is a Home? Previous posts have indicated probably not, and that's fair enough. But I'll look at the Windows account.

In fact, first impressions of the Lenovo are that it's high spec, but really a tinsel build. My heart sank when I first opened it. The FSL would not approve of such a machine. :*

That's what I use, a small SSD's with a couple of TB hards for the main programmes and my photos.
