Got a question here.
Recently installed w10 home 1909. Used digital licence. So far all good all works. The problem is I kinda didn't read everything (at least all 71 pages). Had I done that i would have used kms38 or at least waited until i will have all the components.
So now I have an extra ssd incoming and naturally the question is, will installing it (w10 would remain on current nvme so just adding an extra disk) deactivate windows due to changed hwid.
I read a bit about this and most answer (thou rather old) do say that adding extra disk is ok and it should deactivate windows. I also found a list (not sure how trustworthy thou) that states that 7 out of 10 hwid numbers (no idea how to call them) should match and it will work without needed activation.
In my case this would only change two.
Another option I found was to create ms account and link it, thou that doesnt look very trustworthy.
So to sum up:
Will adding extra disk deactivate w10?
If so would it be possible to reactive it without setting ms account? If so what would be the steps for that?
If ms account will be the only solution, then what are your thoughts about that? How safe is having one? Don't expect black helicopters with swat team, but a bill in mail would be equally as unpleasant.
So any and all advises on this situation are welcome.
