Will I Lose My Windows License If I Replace My Hard Drive?

I have an old laptop that I want to convert from HDD to SSD. Is the key on the original disk, or would I have to buy a new one? Will I lose my Windows license if I replace my hard drive?

Can I replace my hard drives and keep my Windows license? Yes, your Windows license will remain activated if you clone the old hard drive to a new one. Cloning a hard drive is a great way to create a backup of your data or transfer it to a new drive without reinstalling it. However, to avoid accidental data loss, I recommend using the efficient tool EaseUS Partition Master Professional. This tool allows users to migrate the whole disk data to another drive seamlessly.
