Long story short, I have an HP DV7-4165dx and the motherboard went bad. I was able to purchase the same model laptop for cheaper than replacing the motherboard. I would like to know if I can just switch out the hard drive in the new (same model) computer with my old hard drive without running into issues. Again, this is the same model, same hardware, same OS, just a different serial model.
Secondly, if you think this will cause an issue (switching the hard drives), this model has a slot for a second internal hard drive. If it will cause issues just switching them, can I place the old hd in the second slot and just use it as a secondary storage, plus still have access to my old files?
I guess that wasn't so short. Thanks in advance.
