Hey guys, i've bought new pc parts, so I have an old hdd, can i use it on new system? Will it run without any problems? Should i reinstall windows? Or even will the old windows start up when i'll put it on my new system?

I don't know. What are specs of your new system? What is model name of this old hdd?


Probably (if you can connect the drive and it is not broken).


If you're changing motherboard, OS reinstall is highly recommended to avoid various issues like boot mode compatibility, performance problems and windows activation problems. Old windows might start and might not. Even if it does, you'll get all those issues to deal with.
