So I have the free upgraded windows 10 on my PC right now. I just got my SSD today and I am trying to figure this out. If anyone has a tutorial or something I could follow on how to delete windows and reisntall to my SSD using a flashdrive. I have a windows 7 CD disk and a key.. I also don't understand, do I delete windows somehow before going about the process or what. Im confused! Thank You!

Summary: I just need help on step by step, how to delete windows off my HDD and fresh install to my new SSD.

Thanks

Your windows 10 license is stored on your motherboard. So you do not need Windows 7

Step 1) Backup important files.

Step 2) Make a bootable USB of Windows 10 Home or Pro (whichever you have now).

Step 3) Reboot your PC and select boot choice, and select your USB.

Step 4) Follow the setup until hard drives. Make sure there are no errors and choose to format both your HDD and SSD.

Step 5) Select your SSD for install and it will do the rest.

Step 6) Restore your programs and files!
