I am at the last step where I need a BI server for my system. I am looking at eBay for Dell computers and was wondering about Win10 install. I want a SSD for the Win10 boot drive and I have seen several at good prices but without a SSD. I was thinking it may be a good deal to just buy my own SSD and install myself.
My concern is this: If Win10 is already loaded on a SATA HDD can I get it moved to a SSD that I install? I am old school on building my own computers and the last time that happened I had the Win install DVD. With MS going to download etc. I don't know what restrictions I would be under for licensing etc or if I could even uninstall from the HDD and then reinstall on the SDD. Any installed HDD would be removed and replaced with a WD Purple. I have never bought a used computer off eBay before. I always bought components and built mine from the ground up.
Any assistance or thoughts would be appreciated.
