[gduns - with the Lord]

Most laptops will only allow 1 hard drive. the easiest to upgrade your hard drive, is to take it to a shop, and have them clone your old hard drive to the new one.

You won't have to reinstall anything or register anything. it will be as it existed on the old hard drive. I have done this myself many times.

Then keep your old hard drive as a backup, and if you have a crash you can unplug the bad one, and plug in the spare.
