have to check garage sale everyday..

NVMe or SATA?
If NVMe, SX8200 Pro
If SATA, Silicon Power A55

By the way, I also urge you to go for 512GB instead of 256

bro, do u recommend that SP A55? i bought 2 for company use replace for a laptop..but dunno reliable or not for long term use..i read from amazon review said probably died in 2-3 year or less.. shakehead.gif

Windows 8 & Windows 10 license keys are not stored inside the disk
It's stored within the BIOS chip

Do a clean install on a new SSD & Windows setup will automatically extract the key from the BIOS chip

whaaaaat!!! i just know this..
meaning any latest laptop with 10/8 i just reinstall w/o key? then auto activate??

Yes. You can even use Windows 7 key to activate Windows 10 if the laptop / desktop originally comes with Windows 7
As long as the key is legit, you won't have any problem using the Windows 7 key to activate Windows 10
*
Using win7 key to install win10 ive done it.. I just have to find the key sticker below the laptop/battery..
For laptop with win10 what if we update the bios? The license key still there?

Yes. It won't disappear at all unless you replace the BIOS chip
For custom made PC, you can link your Windows 10 key your Microsoft email account (Hotmail/Live/Outlook) then you won't have to enter the key ever again as long as you link your Microsoft email account to your PC

hmm..i would never want an outlook account..gmail is enough..

hi sHawTY,
is it better to get PCI-e 3.0 x16 for a nvme ssd or it's just overkill, x4 is more than enough?
btw can we just clone the existing hdd OS to the new ssd to save the hassle of reinstalling everything?
if do, what is the recommended software to do so?
Thx
*
can try macrium reflect..quite easy to use..
