Aurora R7, How can I install Windows 10 on a new SSD?
I want to buy an SSD for my Aurora R7, my question is how can I install a fresh copy of WIndows 10 on it...and also isn't a problem dealing with the Intel Optane technology? thanks!!

You can make a perfect Windows-10/64bit Flash Drive here.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
It will Activate fine because the License key is stored in machine's BIOS.
Likely, the only driver you will need from Dell is Alienware Command Center.

I'm not sure. Maybe someone else knows.
I either leave the motherboard's M.2/PCIe slot empty, or install a M.2/PCIe/NVMe SSD in it (therefore, no Optane ever).

I intend to do this as my order (refurbished) has a 2TB drive and a 32 GB flash drive.
I have a number of SSD drives from an old PC.
Is it just a case of putting in the new SSD drive and using the windows drive to install or do i need to remove the flash drive
