So i'm building a computer and wondering if I could use an old used 1TB SATA harddrive I had in it. It's been used so it's still got all the data/files on it. Can i use it on my new build?

So i don't have to wipe/reformat my harddrive at all? I can just connect it to my new build and it will boot no problem?

That's the thing, I don't have any way of uninstalling the drivers. the harddrive itself is not inside any PC, I just have the harddrive itself. Is there any way I can delete the drivers without it being already installed on a PC?

Then it will on your luck. Plug that hard drive. It might work or it might not work. Try it. If it not work, then you will need to install os. Just format the portion that contains os. You will not loose all the data. I hope your hard drive will work.
