Hey guys,
Alright, so I have a little dilemma, so I'm trying to get some support from anybody I can. I'll cut to the chase with what I need help with. I know a bit about computers, but I am not nearly as educated as I'm sure many of you are, so please be patient with me, I'm a fast learner, and if you need more information from me/have an idea of what I can do, please let me know.
Right now I have two computers, and I want to combine them to make one superior computer. One computer has very superior hardware, but the other one has everything I've worked on for years on it. To make this easier to read, the computer with better hardware will be Computer #1 and the computer with everything I have everything on will be Computer #2.
So, Computer #1 has:
-Windows 7 (64 bit)
-16GB Ram
-Radeon 7970
-Gigabyte GA Z77 D3H Motherboard
-Not sure how much memory is currently on it
Computer #2 has:
-Windows Vista (64 bit)
-8GB Ram
-Radeon 7870 GHz Edition
-Pegatron Corporation Benicia Motherboard
-1TB Hardrive
That's to name a few things for each of them. Basically what I want to do is to put all the work from #2 onto #1 with as little change to #1 as possible. I built #2 a while back, so I know how to put parts together, but I don't know some of the more "in depth" details. Can I literally just take the hard drive out from #2 and throw it in #1? If I can't, what would be the easiest way to move all my work from #2 into #1? One of the main issues I've been questioning is the fact that #2 is using Vista, while #1 is using 7.
I really appreciate the help guys, everything I just wrote was a bit of a mess, so if you need me to clarify anything/need more information/etc. just let me know, I understand that some of this may have not made a lot of sense, and that I probably left out some pretty crucial information. If that is the case, let me know and I will respond ASAP.
Thanks guys!
