Not sure if this will help: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c01443463

Generally speaking it is not a good idea to install windows on another laptop. The drivers and HAL (Hardaware Abstraction Layer) will be configured for the other laptop. When you change the drive over, it often results in incorrect drivers being installed and unstability.

I would recommend that you reinstall windows 7 on the amd laptop.
