Can i put my old HardDrive into my new computer

loc chuong · Jul 19, 2013

Im about to buy a new computer( with a new harddrive), but can i put my old windows xp harddrive and the new harddrive in the pc? Will putting the windows xp harddrive make the pc a windows xp when i boot it? Or should i install windows 7 with my new harddrive then plug the old harddrive in?

You can pu it in but you're not going to be able to boot to it. Since you are getting a new drive install 7 on the new drive then add the old one as a second drive.

Install Windows 7 on the new hard drive before you install the old XP drive. I would probably move any needed data from the XP drive to the Windows 7 system and format the XP drive prior to installing it into the Windows 7 system.
