Can you make a video on how to keep Windows? So I don't have to buy it again when I upgrade my SSD 1TB too SSD 2TB. Can I add a second SSD 2TB so I will have 4TB? I'm new to PC building. Thanks 👍
@@JobeStroud I bought my son a pre build gaming PC. I helped him set it up. Windows was already installed. We didn't have to type in the key. I looked through all the paperwork for it. Nothing. Back in my day 😂 you got a disk with a license key on it.
it isn't in the paperwork. What version of Windows? 10 or 11? 11 makes you sign in with a account. You just sign in with the same account and it will transfer. Also. Back in our day. Long time ago@@maces1405
3:33 _"nvme ssds are far easier to install & don't require sata cable connections"_ i think here you confused NVMe/SATA interface with M.2-connector/2.5" form factor. 4:13 _"and have an M.2 port available on your motherboard"_
I see your point. Technically you can get an M.2 SATA SSD and not have to use any SATA connections, somewhat eliminating that as a benefit for NVME drives. But, I'm not sure why anyone would waste one of their M.2 ports on an M.2 SATA SSD when they can get an NVME SSD for roughly the same price. Whereas, a traditional 2.5-inch SATA SSD still has some use-cases where they make sense, namely in add-on storage once all available M.2 ports on a motherboard are taken up.
@@TechGuided yeah, you have a point there. * though, this point caught my attention while watching some other video (from 2023.02) where he said 2-3 times that SATA SSDs are cheaper than NVMes. He also said that: * NVMes require heat sink due to their controller; whereas SATA SSDs don't. * buy SSDs only with cache (preferably DRAM, but HMB i.e. host m/m buff works too). * the latency of SATA SSD with DRAM cache was less (better) than even NVMe SSD w/o cache in benchmark screenshots. also, the advices are super welcome, but it should not become confusing or intermingled with wrong facts 😃. > _"I'm not sure why anyone would waste one of their M.2 ports on an M.2 SATA SSD when they can get an NVME SSD for roughly the same price"_
5:46 _"as long as its not ur boot drive"_ i finally found the keywords: "boot drive". so, "how to upgrade boot ssd drive in laptop" will be next search query.
I'm learning a lot from those gringos, and they deserve my respects!!
Vivan los gringos!!

Read out your licence key and use it again when re-installing.
Sounds like to me, that you don't know how to write down your key.
