Old pc died what are my options putting my old hard drive into my new pc?
Iv'e been reading in several places online with some saying no way to others saying easy as pie.
old pc was 2nd gen Intel I3 with gigabite mobo, 8 gigs ram
new pc with be 4th gen I7 with gigabite mobo, 16 gigs ram
I really want to save my old hard drive it has several apps and programs on it that are no longer offered and one program has years of work on it in the program that cannot files in it cannot be used or converted without the program
My old hard drive was windows 7 on a IBUYPOWER pc
Could i use this as my main hd in new pc with everything intact?
If not and forced to use as a second hd i can get most files out but is their any way to get apps and programs out intact??
My plan was getting pc without hd or os from ecollagepc and the drivers for mobo are supplied
on a disc here is tech F&Q would that work in my case?http://www.ecollegepc.com/TechFAQ.html
Was in process of backing up all info but external card i bought off ebay was dead so the day before second one arrived the power supply on pc cought fire in case and fried mobo
i knew mobo was already going out but did not expect psu to catch fire so really bad luck
any ideas ?
thanks larry
