Upgrade Win8 pro to Win10 on new SSD

Hi, 

Have an M6800 laptop which I have just recently recovered to the factory state of Win8 pro.  I was going to upgrade this to Win10 but I have decided to buy a new 256GB SSD and install Win10 onto that instead.   

So, what's the best way to do this?  This is what I imagined to be the correct procedure but please let me know if there are issues with this. 

First and foremost I have no product key as my Win8 is OEM, already had issues and good discussion on this in a another thread. 

  • Upgrade BIOS 
  • Install Win 10 to new SSD
  • Set this as the new primary boot partition 
  • Format the existing HD as a data drive 

Is this likely to work or will I have an issue with the lack of product key? 

Or Should I just reinstall Win8 to the SSD, upgrade it and then switch the primary partition. 

Thanks in advance. 

Dave
