Move OEM Windows 10 to another screw?

Question

Windows

I want to change the hard drive to SSD in a regular laptop with Win 10, I see 2 options:
1 clone with an analogue of Acronis Disk Director on SSD - is there a free analogue for cloning?
2 install a fresh OS and drive an OEM key from the previous one into it - I like this option more, but will there be any problems with activation?
Thank you.

Answer 1

The hard drive does not affect the receipt of the activation code.
Reactivation of Windows 10 .

Is there a free equivalent for cloning?

For example: SSD Scope .

Most manufacturers of SSD drives, by the way, have their own specialized utilities that will quickly and free of charge help you transfer Windows.

Answer 3

They handed over a PC under warranty, where the SSD was buggy, it was replaced, and they transferred Windows to Acronis (in their words) - no problems with the license were noticed.
