[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1322053, member: 56379"] First thing to consider is what OS version is on that old HD (500 gig)...and what is the minimum OS version required for the Feb 2011 computer? If the min. OS version required on the new computer is newer than the OS version on the old HD (500gig)...then the HD swap probably won't work. You CAN use the 500gig in the new computer...but you will have to reinstall the OS with the version required for the new computer. - Nick [/QUOTE]
