Can I keep my old storage?

[Camden_1]

I have a lot of work documents on it that are valuable and would help with my budget PC. Can I keep it?

931GB Seagate ST1000DM003-1ER162 ATA Device

If it's a SATA device, you should be able to move it to a new build.

Is it just storage or OS drive?

Seagate ST1000DM003-1ER162 ATA Device = MEANS IT'S SATA.

Aye, I read that, but was making sure it was SERIAL ata, not PATA.

Of course you can reuse an old drive.

Now would need more specifics on if the drive is a secondary/third drive or if it is your OS drive.
If it is your OS drive then you cant take an existing build of windows and just put it in a different PC. Not only is there a windows licensing issue with that, but that install of windows was done on the hardware of the old system and will at best be unstable at worst not even boot when you put into a completely different PC.
