I’m planning to replace the existing SSD within my Dell Optiplex pc. When I bought it, it came with an SSD that had a windows installation with pro license activated. Now, when I replace this with a new SSD, how do I transfer the license?
I don’t think I have the equipment necessary to clone. This PC has only one m.2 slot. I’m guessing I need to get a M.2 to USB enclosure to clone right?

If you’re replacing, why not clone the old drive to the new and expand to fill?
