My Favorite Computer Stopped

i guess it needs a new power supply...if i take out harddrive can i use a laptop to boot up with it?

if i bought 2 computers the same all the time-is the harddrive switchable?

rebuilding board to new box is best i guess

 

I have two identical Dells that I swap a removable drive between. It is Win 10 and it activated on both machines at one time. It works fine for quite a while now.
What is the OS? Likely no, so many hardware changes will likely blue screen, if it does boot Windows will need to activated again.

 

its windows 10

thanks

 

When I upgraded the main board in The Behemoth, W10 did an R&I on all the drivers and booted up. It also asked me for my key after startup, and a few days after.

Chances are it could work without a reinstall these days. With older OS versions, not so much...

 

i booted up on that adapter thing on other computer and got all the files i want i guess -sure was slow
