Is it possible to take an HD out of my old computer and put it in my new computer? They're both Dells. Would there be any complications in doing this, or would it be a simple swap? Or is it even possible?

Thanks

If your planning on swapping the OS as well then there probably going to be some problems. If your just swapping a HDD with normal data on it then you shouldn't have any issues.

They're both XP. I forgot to add that haha. So, if it's the same OS, then no problems?

You'll be able to access all the data on the new hard drive, but booting from it probably wouldn't work.
