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.

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.

yeah lmao ebin

>>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

of course it wont boot you dickass

go back to posting in shitty consumer tech threads, post about apple watches and other gay shit stuff and buy a zen or 980ti or some shit
>>

Not even if i cross my fingers and wish hard enough?

Lies

>>52637174
you can always plug it in and boot off of a live USB to tranfer the data elsewhere

>of course it wont boot you dickass
in a jolly mood, aren't we?
>>
>>52637189
>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.
