Use a Tool such As Macriurm Rerlect to do it, I transfer info off of a 2TB Seagate Spinner to a M2Nvme drive with no problems.
What I have observed Going from flash base storage to another flash based storage (SATA SSD to PCI-e nvme SSD for example) will keep the HWID fine Going from magnetic storage to flash based storage (HDD to SSD) will sometimes lose the HWID. I am at a loss on why it would happen, but I have seen it more than once. Doesn't happen all the time, doesn't even happen enough to say "often", but it DOES happen. Ironically, going from flash to magnetic (SSD to HDD) doesn't lose the HWID I cannot offer an explanation, this is all anecdotal evidence. Just reporting what I have seen.
Could be possibly the change of the used controller, rather than the media. For example, changing SATA to M2/NvME or vice versa. Usually, changing to M2 requires installing drivers, disrupting the HwID universe. As the SATA controller won't be disabled, changing back to it is easier, no driver change.
I've seen the loss of HWID activation when only the HDD was changed to another HDD, with no way to recover it via activation troubleshoot.
Thank you for info on 19042. I now know how to find info from each new CU going forward. My PC 19041.264
"19041" update history under "View Update History" log can't purge by delete "SoftwareDistribution" folder like previous version. any idea? thanks.
I didn't follow the story with the 19042 I also have Manifests 19042 files, is it in anticipation of 20h2 ? Thanks

Whenever a new version of Windows 10 is released they say it is faster and has a lot of interesting features, but in fact it is more of the same and with a number of bugs The best way is wait to the final version.
Atm, i am running a 1809 based SKU on my main system, on my second system i run 2004, and for example, defender's working has so much improved, on 1809 it keeps running for ages on the found "virus" (before it offers the options what to do with it) and nagging when the same "virus" is found on another folder or drive, even when you've restored and allowed it, on 1903 and up, it instantly shows the info and offers what to do, a simple click on "allow on device" is all that is needed to shut defender up entirely. The one or two bugs on 19041 are not really showstoppers and probably will be fixed soon too.
The first build of Windows 10 when it still had all the settings in Control Panel the way it should be was way snappier than anything after it. IMO each builds makes Windows 10 clunkier and slower.
heh 1507 was unusably slow on my gfs c2d 1607 didn't run at all (some err on boot) now she runs 1809 & is happy htat it works & is fast
