If you decide to change a hardware component of your Windows 10 PC, you should not run into issues with your PC's digital entitlement (also known as a digital license). Here's how I managed to re-install Windows 10 to my new hard drive. However, after installing the new hard drive, I was unable to re-install Windows. I was able to create a system recovery USB before the old hard drive failed completely. I recently bought a new hard drive for my Windows 10 PC because the previous one stopped working.
