Cloning the hdd is just that- an exact clone of the drive with all info intact.

You can use cloning software such as Aomei or use the free Media Creation Tool  at Microsoft to create a bootable Windows 10 on usb flash drive to boot from and install Windows. Your license key is embedded in BIOS and will be retrieved automatically during install.

Does it migrate with installed programs or you have to install programs all over again?
