they are no worry of doing it you can cloning and restore your operating system it will work

but I like to reinstall operating system start over fresh on the new hard drive

it will work on windows 7 also

Thank you for your kind sharing! It is very educational & practical!

Let me ask you for the last time about the "switching of hard drive!"

I have 2 PC Dell 755 :

A) dell 755 with 1 TB hard drive ( from my ex-gf but seldom use)
B) dell 755 with 80GB hard drive (my personal use for movies online & facebook)

Is it possible to SWITCH the hard drive to make the (B) 80GB to 1TB and the (A) 1TB to 80GB ?
If yes , what more do it need to do ? They are both W7 ...

Do you think it will work too provided they have the same size & brand ? Will it affect the PC performance ?

I am just thinking about saving money since the (A) PC is seldom use & my (B) is always use for online movie watching ...

yes you can switch the hard drive you should have no problem

because both computers are the same model

are both computers running windows 7 professional ?

The (A) PC with 80GN has W7 pro ... No idea on (B) PC with 1TB ...

I will check it now after this ...

Let say they are both W7 Pro , there is NO problem ? I mean no need for re-formatting ?

Note that they are both refurbished PC from eBay ...

---

Yes! They are both W7 Pro but i saw the 1 TB is Optiplex DX620 ... not Optiplex 755

Do you think it will work?

I am ready to switch now ... This means the W7 disc will also switch right ?

Just give me the "Go signal" & I will switch it Sir Compton ...

don,t do it you will have driver problems you have to take B hard drive put it into A reinstall windows 7

then A hard drive into B then reinstall windows 7

make sure you get the product keys on both computers make sure you write it down
