Switching HDD from one laptop to another?
-
I found a laptop I want but it only has 100GB of HDD but more ram than my current computer. My HDD on my old computer is fine and works well, and has a 500GB HDD. The reason I want this new one if for dvd/blu-ray, more ram, and many more things my current laptop does not have, and would cost too much to upgrade. Can I swap the HDD between the two and use my old HDD in the new laptop?

Answer:
As long as the hard drives have the same interface (ie. SATA or EIDE) You can easily just swap them out. However, you're going to want to create a backup of your recovery media and install windows fresh on the old hdd in the new laptop Edit: That's why you do a fresh install from recovery media that has specific drivers for the new machine
