In my decades of working with systems I have moved HDs from one system to another without reinstalling the OS.
Heres the scenario. I have a gaming laptop from lenovo with e 17.3 in screen and an i5 cpu with a 4TB SSD. Its litreally falling apart as it was a refurb and I added the 4tb ssd and 16gb of ram. I ordered a new 17.3 laptop from newegg and its a Ryzen 7 3750H cpu. What are the chances that I can pop the 4tb ssd into it and it will boot at least enough to reconfigure with AMD cpu drivers? I really dont want to reinstall 3tb of programs and games. Ive done this dozens of time but its always been Intel to Intel.
