Hi. I have an Inspiron 15 5558 and want to upgrade my HDD for an SSD. My old 1TB HDD will go into the DVD SATA port after I replace it with it's appropiate caddy (9.5mm).

The thing is I want to make a clean installation of windows (no recovery tool, since my current configuration of Windows 10 home is flawed by my fault) and I want to know if I install Windows 10 home from a DVD/USB on my SSD (and the HDD removed) the motherboard will automatically assign its serial key (this notebook had windows 10 home included).

I did the same thing with an HP envy and  (IIRC) after the windows 10 installation, windows dindt asked me for validating it because apparently, it automatically detected the key from the mobo.

Thanks.
