I'm planning to replace the existing SSD within my Dell Optiplex pc. When I bought it, it came with an SSD that had a windows installation with pro license activated. Now, when I replace this with a new SSD, how do I transfer the license?

The license is tied to the motherboard and hardware, so you don't need to do anything to transfer it. Just make sure you install the same version (ie; 10 Pro) if doing a fresh install.
