so i have windows 7 on my laptop which uses a 2.5" HDD. And so i recently bought a new desktop computer and when trying to build it today i wanted to copy windows from the 2.5" HDD to the new 3.5" HDD that i bought for the new computer. However when i plugged it in with all the right cables it wasnt being recognised in the bios, it only pointed out the optical drive and the new blank hard drive?
so my question is: how do i get windows on my new hard drive by any means- cloning or whatever
Also i read that hard drives get 'locked' to the motherboard or something so it would only work in that computer, is there anyway to remove this maybe?
