Swapping storage drives

[jeobsplyr]

Good Day ALL. First let me say, that, I appreciate all of the responses and advice from all that took the time to do so. 

But, I'm still wary about the changes I want to make. Simply, my HP 590-p0109 ceased to boot, although, it powered up without any video signal. I attempted any and every troubleshooting solution I could find, even had a pc tech check it out. No video signal. I decided to get another pc, HP 590-P0054.  Both have an M.2 nvme and a 1tb hdd. Since the M.2 nvme from my p0109 has Windows OS installed, my question is, can I just remove the drives from the p0054 and install the drives from the p0109, without having any issues?? Thanks for all your help thus far. Fingers crossed!!!!!!

Hi @jeobsplyr 

Did the PC Tech isolate the 590-p0109 point of failure?

The 590-p0109 Sunflower MB is AMD, the 590-p0054 Lincs MB is Intel. Windows may or may not completely and correctly reconfigure the operating system to work when switching platforms. The PC may load Windows, or you may get a Blue screen error message, or you may see a boot disk error.

You will have a Windows activation problem if the system drive swap works.

I understand why you want to try this; maintain continuity and save time reinstalling the OS and software. It may not work.

You may have to back up 590-p0109 data on the OS drive. Then reinstall Windows and all software after swapping the OS drive. The second data drive should be movable with zero problems.
