Hi, I am new here. The question I have is can I remove my hard drive from my old laptop with windows XP and add it to my new laptop with windows 7?
Should this be done as an external?
What problems will I encounter .
I only want to get my picture/docs from it.
The old laptop physically crashed. Screen broke off. Still boots up. I tried to use the monitor from my desktop with it but got no signal. Can,t tell if it recognized it.
It would be so simple just to install the drive from the old to the new but I don't want to mess up this new one.
The old was a Gateway 4000 notebook. The new ia a Asus K60IJ.
Thanks in advance for any help. Bob.
