Hi,

Yes you can. The only requirement is that the 2nd/new/empty hard drive be similar in storage capacityif not bigger.

If you are planning on swapping from old to new and use thereafter the new as the main "C" drive, you might want to try and simply clone the old. There are software available online for that purpose. One good example is a "Acronis True Image" paid version. A freeware version by Seagate is Seatools for Windows.

Hope this be of some help/idea. Post back how things turned up or should you need further information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Hi again,

Seatools might not work for you. Do a Google for alternative freeware version HD cloning utility.

Cheers.
