    Question I have a new computer coming with windows 10 home installed on the ssd drive. I would like to dual boot this machine.

    Is it feasible to take the hard drive out of the old computer (windows 7 professional and the programs installed on it) and drop it in the new computer? Would it dual boot? If so, it would save me a lot of time not having to re-install the os and programs. Thanks!
