Solve : New computer hard drive question? |
|
Answer» I ordered a NEW pc and my old pc has a bad motherboard...Can I just put my old HD in the new pc if they are both sata so I don't have to copy all my stuff?You can do however you won't be able to properly run your OS or programs from the old disk, they may work but will likely cause issues. There is however nothing wrong with booting from the new PC's HDD and then purely using the old one to access your old files.If your only goal is to obtain extra MEMORY for your new PC (which I assume is the case) then yes you can, although it is best to COMPLETELY erase all of the data from the drive before adding it to your new PC. If you WANT to keep some of the data I would suggest TRANSFERRING only what data you need to another drive then erasing the old one and adding it to your new rig. Hope this helps!What Win version are we talking about here ? ? |
