I am going to replace the HDD in my dual-boot laptop with an SSD. I don't want to move my files, since everything I need is backed up to the cloud. This is what I plan to do:
- Install a fresh copy of Windows 10 on the SSD.
- Create a partition and dual-boot Ubuntu as usual using a Live USB.
- Restore my files from the cloud.
Here is my only concern: The first time I put the SSD, what will happen when I power on the PC? Will everything be the way it is when I set up a new PC or will Grub boot-loader menu still open? How do I ask the PC to install Windows from the ISO file in my USB drive?
I know such questions have been asked here, but no-one has answered what exactly will happen when I power on my PC. I don't want any alternative methods or workarounds to move my data using third-party tools, as this is the only route I want to take.
