Hei,
I have an 13" 2008 Macbook running now Snow Leopard. I intend to buy a 15" 2011 Macbook Pro, my question is, if, after I will upgrade my OS to Lion on 13", will be possible to move the 1 TB HDD from my 13" to the new 15" ? I want to have my app, photo, software which I have it now on my 13 to my new 15. For example I have Adobe CS2 right now on my 13", but I don't have anymore the install disk for it, that's why I want to move my HDD to the 15"
Appreciate for your help!
Thank you

You would have to disassemble both machines. I doubt you want to do that. If you backup your old drive via Time Machine, you'll be able to migrate everything over when you set up your new Mac without having to reinstall everything you had. You might need the CS2 serial number which you can find using these steps:

Maybe someone else here knows how you can get replacement install disks.
