Got a question guys, need advice or help. I just bought a new laptop that has 2 slots for hard drives. Can i take my hard drive from the old laptop and use it in the new laptop?
Meaning the os i will run from the new hard drive, but programs installed on my old laptop can it still be used once i transfered it? |

QUOTE(dma0991 @ Jul 22 2012, 11:57 PM) You can use the old HDD but if has the OS in it previously, you will have to format it. If the programs in the old HDD is a standalone software that does not need to be installed, it will run but if it is a type that needs to be installed, it won't work. The registry values for the programs you've installed on the old HDD is not present in the new HDD. There is of course ways to make it work but a lot of work and a reinstall would probably be easier and less time consuming. Got it, thanks you so much for explaining. So conclusion dont waste time and just reinstall. No shortcuts, lol. |
