Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and go for a clean reformat. If you open a command prompt (Windows key + R and then type cmd) - and run the systeminfo command - it will show you the Original Install Date of the OS. My work's PC is currently reporting 23rd June 2017 and I'll be switching to a larger SSD over the next week or so.bumping my own question ive old hp laptop which may benefit from a ssd its got remote access to sites printers and other items programs & a user who couldn't deal with a fresh setup & its hassle id like to avoid would cloning carry everything over seamlessly
thanks
Despite having a lot of setup information, apps installed and various configs - I'm not even thinking of cloning the drive. I'll just start afresh and negate all the build-up of crap that my PC has had in the last eighteen months.
