Harddrive old laptop to new laptop

[kinghubert]

My newer laptop's harddrive just died. It's a lenovo with windows 10 on it. I still had an old acer with windows 7 on it. I was wondering if I could put my old acers harddrive in my lenovo laptop. My acer laptop screen is completely ruined. Also wondering if I could change it. Could I get windows 10 again on that harddrive.

If you do a clean install of Win 10 on that transferred drive, it should work.
The Lenovo already has its own license for Win 10. You're just changing drives.

During the install, when it asks for the license key, click on "I don't have a product key"
It should activate itself when it goes online after.
