A pleasant typo. 
Fun fact: The name "Google" was a typo:
Quote:
In 1997, Larry Page and Sean Anderson sat around a table at Stanford brainstorming names for a massive data-index website with some other graduate students. Anderson suggested "googolplex," one of the largest describable numbers.
Page shortened the word to "googol."
Anderson immediately went to check the availability of the domain, but when he typed the name online, he allegedly made a few mistakes, keying in "google" instead.

Just in case you moved your old HDD install of Windows to your SSD, you should look at re-aligning your sectors to match the sector size of your new boot drive. It's all explained here: https://www.howtogeek.com/270358/how-to-speed-up-your-solid-state-drive-by-re-aligning-its-partitions/
Basically you may be able to speed things up even more than they already have been.

I'm surprised Windows survived the move. I would have though that the anti-piracy stuff would detect different hardware id and freak out. I guess it might at a later date when it needs to 'rearm'. If it does you might just be able to re-license it. Although if it's pirated that might not be an issue.
It's also possible to get a 'free' Windows 10 Digital License that's bound to the hardware so anytime you install it, its just activated. Microsoft had the free upgrade which could work on pirate versions of Windows, the free upgrade promotion is supposedly ended but they didn't seem to shutdown the servers (not sure if that's still the case today but it was last time I checked). Probably just trying to get as many people as possible onto Windows 10 since they can do shit like advertise in the start menu and all the spy telemetry shit.
This is why I prefer Linux.
