Migrate to Win 11 before or after changing HDD ?

Windows 10 offers me to upgrade to Windows 11, but I want to change my hard drive to upgrade to an SSD.
Regarding the license, in what order should I take it ?
Another question, is the migration done via an update, or do you have to download an ISO ?
THANKS

  • It is typically done via Windows Update if your PC meets the hardware requirements.

    Microsoft also offers the Windows 11 Installation Assistant or an ISO file if you prefer a manual upgrade or clean install.
