I have a Dell 531S and the MOBO died.
Ive bought another well functioning Dell 531S and wondering what problems I would have installing the hard drive from my original one to the "newer" one.....and if it's at all possible???
Both have Dell activation codes but I read about Vista ALSO having an internal code or BIOS match before it will start as well.
Has anyone successfully moved a hard drive with Vista preinstalled from PC to PC or am I going to have to wipe it and buy a Vista Premium OS?
I'd rather ask here before trying JIC trying to do so messes up the NEWER one too.
AND....if NOT possible, Im assuming I can put the original in as a slave HD and move saved files like the other Microsoft OS I previously used? WWW has me scared half senseless trying things with Vista I used to do.
thanks for any help.
Steve
