15-BS617TU
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

I am going to add a new SSD in my 15-BS617TU laptop. It came with pre-installed and  pre-activated Windows 10 Home version. I did not received any CD/DVD with laptop.

My question is how can I install Licenced windows 10 Home in newly added SSD drive? I will use old hard disk for storage only.

Hi,

 

You can just perform a clean installation of Windows 10 as detailed in the guide on the following link.  Note: At the activation screen, select 'I don't have a Product key' - Windows will activate automatically once the installation has completed.

They are asking for license.

See   ""To get started, you will first need to have a license""

HP Recommended

Hi,

 

The license is embedded in your notebooks uefi firmware - you will not have to enter any activation key, just download the media creation tool.
