Hey guys,
I posted here the other night about my Dell laptop being fucked.
This is now part two of the question.
If i were to remove the HDD from the fucked laptop (motherboard failure i think HDD should be ok)
Can i then just put my old HDD into a new donor laptop and start it normally, would that work?
I guess i would just to redo the drivers etc?
but essentially can i recreate the laptop using the HDD just with a different case/motherboard/hardware etc
I'm not to clued up on laptops, thanks again.
wtf lol
noob

I think it won't boot, but plugging it in will do no harm
I assume you have backed up any important data

If this didn't work i was going to use the HDD as an external drive to get what i needed off it, i really wanted to run it in a different laptop to save all my saved forms and internet related information.

>>but essentially can i recreate the laptop using the HDD just with a different case/motherboard/hardware etc
I've done it
But i've also had some cases where laptops just didn't accept an HDD out of another
So it may or may not work
Theres still a chance

you can always plug it in and boot off of a live USB to tranfer the data elsewhere

in a jolly mood, aren't we?

>it wont boot
it can happen, I've done it
>>52637239
Yeah i think I'll do this then, I'll take what i need off from it then try to see if i can salvage it.
Depends on both laptops. It's best to plug it as an external and get any data you need. Or boot from usb/sd/dvd.
