Keeping a long story short!
My second laptop is running on a HDD which is slowly getting too slow.
That 's why I bought an SSD and bounced on my other laptop with a Windows 10 stick. The HDD I have rausgebaut and installed the SSD, well… Does not start… XD
Did I forget something?
Nah does not work like that.
You kansnt install windows only if the hard drive is already installed in the desired device.
External installations just do not work.
So get an ISo image and then transfer it to a USB stick. Boats then from the USB stikc and then start again the install.
Did I forget something?
Yes, it does not work that way. You need to reinstall Windows 10, but on your laptop with built-in SSD.
A Windows installation on another computer does not work.
"on my other laptop"…
That will be the sticking point.
The installation is always bound to the device.
Windows recognizes the completely different hardware and "thinks" possibly, it runs as an illegal copy. And then it either refuses to operate or asks for a fresh registration code.
How exactly Win10 behaves in this case, but I can't say exactly.
You have to repeat the installation on this notebook. Hopefully the old code will be accepted again.
Alternatively, build your old HD back into the notebook and the SSD you hang it via USB adapter.
Then you use a migration tool.
Some SSD manufacturers deliver something like this.
Otherwise, this (commercial) tool would be suitable:

It is actually the program "Drive Copy Advanced". The big "partition manager" is much more extensive, but also much more expensive.
This also adjusts the Windows settings to SSD operation.
Then you can install the SSD again and hang the HD to the USB port. So you can then copy the required rest files.
I did this to myself (years ago) with WinXP and Win7.
With Win10 but it should be the same, because the software is constantly being developed.
You can also clone an HD to a SSD of at least the same size. But if the HD is bigger than the SSD, it will not work. And it brings with it other disadvantages. For example, The data occupancy on the SSD in the inappropriate structure of the HD.
So: Reinstall, or migrate the operating system by software.
I have now pulled everything back on the stick and plugged in the SSD so I can reinballern Windows 10, the problem is now that nothing happens do not come into the BIOS or anything else… The problem I had in the beginning too.
