Yeah, the title says it.
My old laptop's motherboard got ruined when I uhhhh... well- I laughed too hard watching a video and spewed tea all over the keyboard, which then fried the mobo. Yeah, I know. Genius right there.
The 500GB HDD was able to be saved, but upon taking it out, I noticed it ONLY has a SATA data connector, no power connector whatsoever. Interesting, as I'm not too versed in mobile storage.
I have a good 'ol 850 EVO for my new desktop, and I just don't feel like buying another version of Windows 10 for it's OS. The laptop HDD has W10 already on it, and I was wondering if anyone had a simple way to just 'jump' the two devices together and transfer the HDD's contents onto the SSD, and if this will even work with transferring an entire OS' files.
In addition to this, is there any way to just transfer the OS, and nothing else? I can move my personal files from the laptop HDD to a desktop HDD later.
Any help is appreciated, or just tell me "Buy Windows 10, weeb."
