Windows 10 von HDD auf SSD?
Hallo,
meine 1. Frage :
- Ich möchte mein Ex Freund von meinem Pc abmelden es funktioniert aber nicht. (normales abmelden und auf ein anderes Konto anmelden funktioniert, aber ich möchte seine Daten komplett aus meinem Pc entfernen)
- Dort steht, dass er der Administrator ist und mit Microsoft verbunden ist + Windows 10 Key damals auf seinem Konto eingelöst.
Meine 2. Frage :
Ich möchte Windows 10 von der HDD auf die SSD formatieren. Was benötige ich dafür ? Reicht Windows Key aus oder benötige ich einen Windows 10 Stick ?
Was ist der unterschied zwischen Windows 10 Klonen und formatieren?
MfG

You need to explain with your friend whether he continues to use this license or Windows10 key and thus reinstalls one of his Windows PCs and then you need to delete Windows and buy another Windows10 key, another license or if he gives you the license/key and you can continue using Windows.
Using a license/key on two different computers is not legal.
When you have a PC, you should not transfer the system from HDD to SSD, but simply create a Windows USB stick and reinstall Windows completely. You do Windows 10 with Rufus (you can https://www.chip.de download) get to a USB stick. To do this, you can download an ISO/Windows 10, do it with Rufus on a stick and then start from the USB stick and reinstall Windows 10. The installation stick then reads your license when starting the PC and reinstalls Windows 10. As I said, if you can continue using your friend’s license.
Here you can download Windows 10 legal : (legal reputable source)

The ISO is not copy-protected in the sense, does not have to be bought, but can be downloaded legally. What you need to buy is the license/the Windows 10 Key.
If you need to buy your own license, you either have to delete the Windows before installing the new key from the disk, then enter the license during installation, or simply install the new Windows over it and then enter another license key, so to speak, to replace the license/key.
In fact, without having the password of your friend, you cannot delete accounts or delete certain files in your friend’s account because you lack the rights. However, if you have the password, you have admin rights at the same time and can create a second admin account for you and work in it.
To your question: Formatting is a process where a hard disk is completely deleted. Formatting is only one process and has no other function.
Cloning is a process in which a system is copied from one hard drive to another in a single operation. A plate is virtually mirrored by cloning, the system being present on both plates in the same form at the end. For this, however, both hard drives must be connected simultaneously in the computer because this process is performed in a single operation.
Something very similar to cloning is creating a hard disk image. Even when creating and restoring, a copy of the entire plate/of the entire system is created, only that copying does not happen in a single work step, as during cloning, but in two steps. You first create a so-called hard disk image, i.e. the system is stored in packed/compressed form somewhere, e.g. on an external hard drive. And in a second step you can write this stored compressed image over any hard disk. At the end, the plate is also mirrored or the system is copied 1:1. It takes place only in two steps. The advantage of using hard disk images is that if you have a saved image somewhere on a hardboard, you can write this image at any time if desired over any hard disk and you have a clean system whenever you need. The system is then always the same after it was written on the target plate as it was created on the day of creation. That’s why you should do a hard disk image after a new installation because the system is fresh and clean. A picture of it does not contain any viruses or trojans, and if you write the image later on a target plate, you have an absolutely fresh and clean system as it was fresh after the installaton when you created the image.
Unfortunately, there are also programs here that do not work reliably. That is not all programs are reliable in that if you write an image over a plate that then it starts reliably. Reliable programs include Macrium Reflect Free or Clonezilla, both are free of charge. Clonzilla is a bit more complicated in operation. At Clonezilla, mana must also make sure that you download the correct version. (BIOS or UEFI version and 32 bits for older computers and 64 bits for new computers)
I wouldn’t clone in your place and also don’t create a hard disk image to write it to an SSD. I would reinstall Windows in your place. We live in a time when, after an installation, Windows draws all drivers themselves through the updates and therefore a new installaton is very easy to make. Cloning and creating/writing images, on the other hand, is not so easy for a PC user with less knowledge.
Once installed and unlocked on the PC Win10, Win10 can be reinstalled without entering the Product Key, no matter which drive.
The unlocking is then effected automatically.
If you perform the settings and account settings correctly, you are also the administrator of this newly installed Win10.
When the disk connects as a second drive, you can access your old data
You can only get the account with admin rights if you don’t have it, you’re wrong. Or you’re researching how to reset a password, I remember a possibility with a Linux live stick, but that was guaranteed to be explained a few thousand times – just look for it.
Once the account is gone, you can also delete the data.
Or you install Windows completely new, then also its data are gone, but also yours, so you should carefully back up everything before. However, this would also have the advantage that it also throws away all the other garbage that always accumulates with time, so that the PC even runs a little better afterwards.
The Windows Key should be stored on the motherboard, so you don’t lose it. What Windows does when you log on to another Microsoft account (no offline account), but I can’t tell you I’m tapping on “Nothing”.
If you’re having trouble with the key later, you can’t expect any help from Microsoft, as the key from Microsoft’s point of view isn’t yours.
Or you buy a new key, then it’s yours and you’ll also get support.
Cloning => Copy
With operating system, however, you don’t just need a Copy&Paste because you don’t see everything that Windows needs. However, there are tools that take over that you install on a stick and can then boot from the stick and that then offers functions for cloning. But even there, a Google search might offer you a lot of hits.
Formatting => Everything away
Then you need to reinstall.
If I prefer, then everything is clean, just don’t forget backups.
However, you can also save formatting. Just uninstall the HDD, the SSD, install Windows and finish. Microsoft offers a tool that can prepare you a USB stick, which you do in old Windows, then swap HDD with SSD and start from the stick.
After that, you have the HDD as a complete backup, which you could even reinstall and copy your data in peace, but you may need to adjust the boot order in the BIOS that it does not try to boot from the HDD. There are also thousands of instructions online.
It does not happen if I change the account only it is super annoying to find/see his information on my PC. Too much text but very helpful details. I thank you for the good tips and for your efforts!
I would reinstall windows on a ssd and the data I need to transfer
Simply reinstall Windows, then you caught two flies with one flap. https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/software-download/windows10
However, it may be that you need a new key.
So I don’t need a Windows 10 usb stick when reinstalling it, but can install it with a valid Windows 10 key on the empty ssd?
no you already need a USB stick. Otherwise, you don’t get Windows on the SSD. With the tool (in the link) you can create the bootstick.
and only for info, the stick is formatted (data deleted)
Thank you very much. Check out the page 🙂
I don’t know if you can delete an administrator. 🤔
I would secure my own data, buy a new key (if you are thrown) and make a new installation on the SSD.
Then you have a clean Windows without files from your ex.
Very cool, thank you for your helpful answer!
Can be – provided it is not the main administrator.
This admin account is usually disabled, so it’s obvious that this is a normal account with administrator permissions.
In addition, this “main administrator” is a pure offline account, is actually not intended for everyday use.
You can reset the old hard drive. And then the reset hard drive from which HDD copy to the SDD.
For resetting (Win10) you need the administrator rights.
