Bought a new( open box ) Laptop - can I just transfer old systems SSD's to it?

[MyOpicVoid]

Hello,

I just need some professional opinions about upgrading a HP Omen 17" CB0XXX.

My old system has a 500gb M2 ssd where Windows 10 is loaded. Plus I have 2 other 500GB ssd's that basically have stuff on them.

What I was wondering id if I can just simply swap these drive(s) to the new laptop and simply take off?

Sorry if the question is vague but I appreciate anybody taking time to answer.

Thanks in advance.

As a generality: if the new laptop has all the ports and space available then you could install the old drives. (Couldn't find actual motherboard details, but not too surprised.)

As a practical thing: if you're expecting the old boot drive to just work on the new laptop then it depends how lucky you are; likelihood is you'll run into issues due to driver issues for two different systems. In such a scenario a fresh install of Windows is recommended.

Thank you.

I was gonna do the swap, boot and just see what blows up. If it's too much then I'll boot off a USB stick reload windows.

I'm hoping after I get it running again I'll be able to to use disk man. and wipe out the old OS , boot drive etc.

Thank you for replying.
