I was building my pc got passed the cpu,mb, and power supply. Then I needed my hard drive, I planned on getting the one from my old computer (which is a All-in-One), and then I found out the metal case is blocking it off from unscrewing it from the case. I am thinking of breaking it open(won't damage the HDD) or just buy a new one.
So I'm thinking if I can have the same OS and all the files return normally, if I put my old HDD in my new PC without having to install an OS because I don't want to pay another $100-200 for the same OS I already have. It might be a stupid question but I don't know too much about this stuff(hence why I ask
. I am just wondering if I should buy a new HDD or just rip out my old one. I also do not have a Disc drive or so it would cost me even more if I do need one?
I did hear that you could put window 7 or something on a USB and I could just do it that way instead of the disc drive.
