Hi,
I have a 2005 HP that is completely obsolete, but it does have a good working hard drive that I have windows 8.1 on, 32 bit version.
My parents just gave me their 2009 HP tower, which has a defective hard drive. It is a 64 bit system. I was wondering how feasible it would be to take my hard drive and put it in their tower and make that my computer?
I realize that there is an incompatibility issue with the 32 bit - 64 bit platforms, and that my current hard drive has all the drivers for my current computer, not the new one.
Thanks for any advice.
