What should I consider? What happens to my data on the laptop?
Well, your data stays on the old hard drive.
What exactly do you want to do, the question is a bit incomprehensible…
Of course, you can in principle exchange a HDD with another HDD same or larger memory size.
Is the HDD broken, is there Windows on it… Etc?
Windows 10 is on it, I have little idea of something I'm so sorry for the incomprehensible question. Only I would recommend to convert to SSD, because it should run faster. Produce music and need more power for plugins
Then it is advisable to "clone" the existing HDD on a SSD (best then 1 TB). You can do this while running Windows under Windows with free software, I recommend Macrium Reflect Free, more here:
Thank you!
With pleasure. Tip: You can also use Macrium Free for backups of the whole system!
I see you are an expert. Had a problem with my laptop. Would be great if you would drop by my questions! Would be grateful
Thank you!
Hard disks can be exchanged in a computer. Of course, the apparatus should be switched off for this purpose.
What should I consider?
On the hard disk such are not the operating system. Unless you want to reinstall it. Let's say that there's another hard drive installed in the folding computer on which the operating system is located: in this case, you must set up (partition) the built-in hard disk after the system has been started.
What happens to my data on the laptop?
Of course, the data will remain on the removed hard disk. If you want to sell the old hard drive, you should overwrite the data.
Thank you!
It does not get any faster, but it will be able to move music to miliseconds and start programs in seconds instead of minutes
Thank you!
