![]() Could I simply use my desktop copy of Windows, it is the exact same version and I purchased it legally, and just use the key that is on my Laptop? It seems so obvious to me that this is what any sane person would do. I do have the license key as it is on the sticker on the back of the laptop. The next issue is WINDOWS GRRRRRRRR!! As Windows was pre-loaded when I bought my laptop (Win 7 Home Premium 64bit) I don't have an install disk. I am hoping that as my model of laptop is not too old to accept this drive (or one better although it does seem like the best choice) without a problem. There may be a better drive (reliability pips speed, but only just, as this is for my portable music recording studio setup). The price is just over £80 so it is an amazing increase for my system for the price. ![]() It seems that my best option is to buy a SATA 2 7200rpm drive like a 750GB Western Digital WD7500BPKT Scorpio Black, 2.5", 9.5 mm, SATA 3Gb/s, 7200rpm, 16MB Cache, 4ms (copied info from scan). I wanted to upgrade my internal 2.5" hdd to a SSD but my laptop model is SATA 2 (I presume 2 as in any info/desription I have found for it just says SATA but I bought it in 2010 so I guess it is SATA 2) and the cost to performance increase really isn't worth it. I might need to Ghost my drive but would rather not have to. Many thanks for your advice when I was building my system before Christmas, it runs like a dream.
