Here's my question. My sons dell laptop has died. The hard drive is still good and all of his data is on it. If I were to purchase a similar (but not the same) dell laptop, what wuld happen if I were to remove the old hard drive and install it in the new laptop. I assume there might be some hiccups when I power on and the hardware is all new and different from the old laptop. Would the old hard drive adapt it's settings of what it remembers being installed on the old laptop to reflect what is now on the new laptop.
In short will a simple hard drive swap work???
