Bekarasha, the license key is embedded in the BIOS, and when Windows installs it picks up that key. If you use the Asus Windows build that comes installed, you can back it up on a bootable recovery flash drive with Asus Backtracker - a 16GB USB 3.0 flash drive is recommended - you can it to restore the Auss Windows build to your new SSD/HDD boot drive.

There is no advantage to doing an install from Microsoft Media. You can uninstall the Asus programs in like 5 minutes and be good, without spending time loading from scratch and installing by hand all the drivers - after spending the time to find them.

Here are the programs we have found to be problematic or unnecessary:

That is a view from Asus Install, it is there to restore back what you have uninstalled - it makes a good reference list for what is uninstalled 🙂

Here is the list of places I look for updates for my G750JH; the best way to get a stable fully functioning G750/G751 is to update all the drivers / apps to the latest Windows 8.1 release.

The G750JW/JX/JH/JM/JS/JZ download areas haven't had new updates for a while, BIOS updates still happen in your model's support area, so check there from time to time.

The G750/G751/551/500/etc share the same basic hardware components; check support download areas for new hardware for newer drivers.

Asus maintains central support areas for hardware component features common to all products, those areas usually have the latest drivers after new hardware releases, sometimes there is a lag before the newer drivers show up there, so still to new product releases support downloads for the latest drivers.

Asus G751 Support / Download areas - Asus hasn't updated all the versions of these support areas, this link discusses the 3 locations were started independantly and not sync'd/updated through to the latest driver releases - check them all to be sure.

If you do want to do a from scratch install, do yourself a favor and backup the recovery partition with Asus Backtracker to a USB 3.0 16GB flash drive - as it is the only copy of the original Asus OS build you will have after blowing away the original partitions with your new install.

Give the recovery flash drive method of installing on a new SSD a shot, you might like it :).
