I want a fresh install of Windows 8 on my Laptop I will install an SSD. I dont want to go through the cloning the HHD to the SSD route because I heard its better to just get a fresh new copy of Windows. So my question is it possible for me to just download the Windows 8 file and put it on a Flash Drive and then use my Current Windows 8 Serial Key to reinstall it ?
