old ssd is dead, got new one, can I still recover my Win10?
I had to change my ssd in my Razer Blade 15 (2018) and I'm not worried about the warranty but I'm curious to know if I can still use the system recovery image and build a new Windows 10 on the new ssd? If that's not possible I'll just purchase the software but don't want to throw that money out of the window (how ironic :) if it's not necessary. Could anyone advise please?

Windows should recognise that the device already had genuine Windows 10 and you should be able to install it again without paying for another copy. If you change "too many parts" inside a system, Windows will no longer be activated automatically, as far as I know.
Thank you very much! Since I posted that question I tried and tried with the recovery stick but installation failed. Eventually I ended up buying a Windows 11 OS which works perfectly. I really appreciate you answer!
