Activate win11 on new SSD

[TUTHIEN]

I'm THIEN, I need help with one issue:

I have an HP X360 DW1018TU computer with licensed Windows 11 pre-installed when purchased in 2021 (OEM). Currently the SSD shows signs of damage, I am preparing to replace it with a new one. I want to ask if there is the best way to copy the WIN11 system from the old SSD to the new SSD. As far as I know, I may have to reinstall WIN11 on the new SSD and then activate the license key on the old SSD. I'm worried that a fresh install of WIN11 on SSD will have difficulty reactivating the license and will not include all the existing applications and drivers on the device.

You can use the HP cloud recovery tool to reinstall Windows on the new SSD.

Here is an info link for how to use the utility...you will need a 32 GB USB flash drive for this.
