Question How do i reinstall windows on my old laptop?

[AlexsvonMüller]

First, sorry for my bad english grammar. To the point, the keyboard is broken, basically im going to reinstall it on my new laptop so i take out the hard drive and i notice it's still using IDE pin meanwhile my new laptop hard drive is using SATA pin. Is there a way to reinstall windows on my old laptop?

I'm not sure if I understood. But not all hard disks are compatible with each PC. So it doesn't seem like you can replace/use the old harddrive on your new PC. If you want to install Windows on your old PC you can get a USB Stick (16gb) and flash windows on it and then boot it up on your laptop from BIOS. If i understood, your keyboard is broken. You can try using an external keyboard.

get a usb external keyboard. You may be able to find a replacement keyboard for the laptop as well.

To start with - unless both laptops are identical, you cannot just install Windows on one laptop, and move the hard drive to the other. There 's a way to do it, by moving the disk after first restart.
