I have two laptops, one is failing, but has a new, larger hard drive with
all my data, apps, etc.
The hard drive is exactly the same type as used by laptop #2.
QUESTION: what would happen if I simply placed the drive from
Laptop #1 into Laptop #2?
Laptop #2 definitely has different hardware than #1: diff graphics, a
built in memory card reader, 802.11g wireless (vs. 802.11b), etc.
The tech at the local computer shop said that windows would find all
new hardware and work to install appropriate drivers, etc.
Whaddya think?
