Looks simple enough Padraic. Thanks. Does a new install of win10 come already copied in a new HDD? Would this replacement be and different if I used a digital drive? (My old hd failed and I have no system).

After installing an OEM replacement HDD in my x540, I bought a flash drive on Amazon for$10 that rebooted my Windows 10 and it's working like a brand new machine.

I believe the product key for windows 10 is embedded in motherboard.

Hi … How can a flashdrive reboot a Win10 on a new SDD /HDD ? A Windows flash drive contains a Win10 bootable ISO ?

On Amazon, I found flash drives with a product key but I don’t know where the new installation can be done from if there is no ISO on it …

(I have a x540 with a dead HDD …)
