Move hard drive to new machine

Posted: 04-12-2004, 03:34 PM

I'm buying a new computer for my business. It comes with XP
Home edition. I'm presently using XP Pro on a 40 gig drive.
Can I move my hard drive to the new machine and just
configure it to use that drive?

Ensure that you download all necessary drivers for your hardware
(Motherboard chipset, video, sound, modem).

If your new computer is from a major manufacturer, you may void your
warranty.
