Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Greetings to all, first time poster here. I have the old HPZ 620 WS. The bios is updated to latest 3.96 along with all important drivers and Windows 10 updates. Was hoping someone could answer a few questions please?

I was hoping for some guidance on what the proper Bios settings I should have to boot from the M.2?
I have Windows 10 already installed on a 2.5" SSD.
Is it ok to clone existing OS or best to do a fresh install?
Can I do a fresh install using my existing Windows 10 pro license code?
I really appreciate any pointers and advice, thanks in advance.
