CFC Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I have got a dell laptop that's got windows Vista on. I want to fit a new hard drive and load windows 7 on it. I have done this with desktops before, is it straight forward with laptops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 No difference. Laptops and desktops are basically the same except for their outer shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisinth Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 As Pib has said, very similar. Might be an idea to go to the laptop manufacturer's website and download the drivers for 7 before doing the install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajarngreg Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) I've got an older DELL 1440 with W 10 Pro on it and you can easily do that alone. Got to an Advice shop in your area, they're cheap and you'll have a warranty. Only two screws and you can take out the HD. Please be careful when you insert the new one, especially when it's a flat one to make sure that it really fits and is connected.
