move hard drive to another computer?
Hi All,
This is have never done on Windows 10. Can I take a hard drive from an AMD based computer running Windows 10 and place it into new Intel based hardware? I specialized on doing this with Windows XP. I have heard things have gotten a lot better with this in the Windows world. Any words of wisdom? -T Piece of cake with Linux. |

Then use Linux whatever it may be. Don't waste our time here. -- With over 999 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |

What license key will it be using ? The hard drive transfer could work, but why would it be activated ? I think I would want to bring it up in Safe Mode, in case the MSAHCI driver doesn't happen to be enough for the job. The OS can automatically find all drivers, but the ability to boot may require at least the one disk driver be the same. It's possible Safe Mode is preferred now, over trying to figure out how driver re-arming works. Paul |

ONE Question: Who owns the intellectual properly? -- Judge your ancestors by how well they met their standards not yours. They did not know your standards, so could not try to meet them. |

If it was that easy. He has some unique database software and other similar stuff he has used for years. Its needs to come back 100%, including the registry, sql servers, and system dll junk. I saw is knees go weak when I mentioned he was really running an underpowered and old computer for what he was doing. ONE Question:Â* Who owns the intellectual properly? He does. All the software is licensed, but he has no idea what he did with the licenses and if the older version are even still available or if the older data will even port tot he new versions. I find customer's throwing that kind of stuff away ALL THE TIME, including the licenses I sell them. (I keep a copy of all of them as I learned from experience. Keep their wifeless key too [with permission] as they always forget them too.) I know the software is licensed as it downloads data from the software company's web site. |

Practice before the transfer. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/...dows-10-a.html I have that black screen loaded on a couple installs. Note, that it won't stop on that screen, for certain dual boot setups. In terms of assurance it will work, stick with single-OS-boot. I tried it on my dual-OS Insider, and it won't put up the black screen for that case. Set it up now, before moving the disk, press F8 when prompted by the black screen, note that it boots into Safe Mode and so on. You would probably want to disable Fast Boot or anything that smacks of Hibernation, to again, ensure it shows up. Once you've achieved success on your mission, you can change the timer constant from 30 seconds there, so it doesn't become a constant irritation during unattended boot. If the owner knows it is there, then a 5 to 10 second constant may be sufficient. You'll notice in the pictures, there's a "timeout... 30" type entry. Paul |
