Old laptop used in a factory, bruised, battered but happily running Windows 2000. Want to carry on running Windows 2000 in this instance. Can I take the hard disc out and insert in another good, vintage laptop as long as it's exactly the same make, spec, hardware wise etc and then boot up as "normal". Would there say be BIOS changes to make?

Cheers

 
The transplant worked a treat! Original HDD put into same make / spec but better condition laptop. All booted up, Windows 2000 started no problems. Only slight issue is it needs an audio driver but that's easily fixed.
