I switched a hard drive from a Toshiba laptop with Windows xp to an hp probook with Windows 7 on it. I know I need to install Windows again, but am wondering what version i should install. Please help.

I would stick with Windows 7. I will run much quicker and smoother, as Windows XP is now over 10 years old.

Install win7. Do you have the original install disk for the hp probook? You can use that.

Installing Win7 would be my recommendation since XP no longer has support.
