What happens if you move a hard drive from one PC to another?

Question

Hard disks

Hello!
There was such a situation, my friend’s brother wants to play on a normal PC, his older brother (my friend) doesn’t let me, I don’t understand why, but now he left, set a password, etc., but what will happen if you rearrange the hard drive from one PC on the other?)
Hardware is different, hard drives already with Windows and installed programs.
Or maybe it’s worth formatting one hard drive, installing bare Windows and only then changing it?)

Answer 1

What happens if you move a hard drive from one PC to another?

Chronologically?
- the return of a friend
- fraternal p..dyuly brother
- friendly p..dyuly you :) as the main organizer and performer
When rearranging the screw, Windows will work normally only if the "new" hardware is exactly the same as the old one. But judging by

play on normal pc

this is far from true. In this case, Windows will start adapting to the hardware, change a bunch of shitty settings, change a bunch of shitty firewood.
And your friend will go nuts when he turns it on :)

Answer 2

Everything will be fine. I moved SSD from AMD/AMD laptop to Intel/nvidia laptop without any problems.

Answer 3

Can I connect an old hard drive to a new computer so that all data is preserved?

Answer 4

To begin with, it would be good to find out where this password is - on the BIOS or on Windows.
In the second case, you need to turn off the HDD, put a second HDD in the computer, roll Windows onto it, install games and play. Then pick up your disk, connect the original one.
Or do you want to play on another computer? Then what's the problem, there's no password there?
