Asus notebook Remove the HDD and pre installed OS

[Farapon]

Hello
I got a laptop that was supposed to come with an 128 ssd with the OS installed in it. Surprise surprise! The store i bought it from removed the ssd and let the 1TB (5.4k rpm) in, and made a partition where the OS is installed.
Can i destroy the hdd and get a 500 GB samsung ssd and buy a w10 OS¿
I'm scared because i read that the pre installed windows is attached to the hardware so you cant wipe the OS or stuff like that.
¿Should i get the SSD and try cloning it to it 1st?
This post was motivated because when open the management tab i see the hdd staying at 99 100% without doing anything (i just got the laptop and i'm trying to update to w10) I will never buy a single product from this store again.

If i do that, would it be equivalent to buying a laptop without windows preinstaled?

Hi,

The answer is a 100% yes you can replace it with a SSD and install Windows 10 in it which is no problem. A lot of people has done this which didn't cause any problem with their laptop. But if you want to use the original OS that came with your laptop yes you can also just clone it with the SSD.
