You'll have an issue with the drivers. Since both of the laptops aren't the same. You'll have to download all the drivers for the new laptop. To save time, it'll be easier to buy a new HDD for the new laptop and install it fresh. Check out this website to compare prices on HDD.

That's pretty much what I was thinking I'd need to do. We just wondering if there was anything I could do with the HDD out of my older laptop.

What would be the easiest way to transfer all my files off my old laptop HDD to the new HDD once it's installed?

Obviously, I'd need to install a new OS with the new HDD, right?

What's the best Windows today? 8.1? I saw that 10 is coming soon?
