Hi all, Quick question I bought a family pc which came with win 10 preinstalled, however the os is on a 128gb ssd and I'd like to do a clean install on a bigger ssd would I have problems with the Windows 10 license? Thanks for the replys.

Nope. The license key is held in the BIOS/Firmware. Clean install away, Win10 will activate every time.
