Cloning drive from desktop to laptop (different brand/specification PCs) will it work?
908Ever wondered weather you can interchange drives between different brand and different specification PCs? Well. YES you can
In this video I cloned a HP desktop hard drive on to a Acer laptop and sure enough it booted without any problem.

Take a backup of your personal files and folders before you perform any sort of procedure in this video.. Hard drive cloning is a complicated process and if cloning fails you could loose all your data.
Make sure you follow every instruction STEP BY STEP missing any instruction can cause cloning to fail
Don't make dumb comments like "why the fuck you need 3 drives" "you don't need a external drive to do this" If you do so I will moderate, also many people don't own a desktop or even if they do many are not power users like us so keep that in mind thanks. Don't like it? go watch thousands of other drive cloning tutorials on YouTube.
Disclaimer: I have been cloning drives without any problem for the past few years without any issues with this exact same method, if in case if it fails its likely that you didn't follow step by step instructions or might be a case of bad cables or in very rare case hardware incompatibility. I wont be held responsible for the loss of your data since I have already asked you take a BACKUP of your personal files.
