i've got a msi gt70 dominator which came with pre-installed windows 8 on my 1 tb HDD.now i installed a new 120 GB ssd and i'd like to move the os to it .
i've considerd cloning / migrating the os but many advised me that installing a fresh OS will be better because that way it will align the SSD .
MY QUESSTION IS :
if i installed a fresh copy of windows 8 on the SSD and formatted the SYSTEM partition on my HDD.will my windows 8 be activated automatically ? or can i even extract my KEY from UEFI ? and how can i be sure that it's stored there in the 1st place ?
