Most* computers will have the slot you need to transplant your current drive into the new computer. It will keep the version of windows most current at the time of switching it, so if you upgrade to 11 beforehand it will be windows 11 on the new laptop. If you don't upgrade and keep it at windows 8.1 then that's the version your new laptop will have... I would advise that you give the new one a few moments during the first boot after the drive swap so it can get its proverbial bearings. Should operate normally after that initial boot sequence. * unrelated to current question yet could be useful later, some desktop computer cases still use the "old school" design for storage devices where they only have 3.5 hdd bays. An adapter tray would be useful in this situation
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Depends on how old the laptop is. Also I did it before & no problem. My LT is 12 yrs. Btw stay with the 8.1 pro because you can upgrade to windows 10 for free.
