Hello, so I have an extra computer and I just wanna see the the cpu and test it out a little since I might give it to a friend. I was wondering if it would be fine if I moved over my ssd and one stick of my ram.

If the mobo suports the ram the ram should be fine but idk about the drive. does it have to os? If it does i would say yes. if its just a drive in ur system i would say no

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

As long as it's not the other platform (AMD to Intel or vice versa) then it should be fine.

Just throw in a Ubuntu disc. You can use that any time.

I haven't tried it personally but I hear moving one drive from Intel to AMD or the other way around will break Windows.

Yes it does a lot of the time, even if it just a new mobo it can kill it. I tried shoving a drive from a dying HP Touchsmart (that computer is hell with a screen on it) and it was running windows 7. It went from a Core 2 duo to a Pentium 4. But it took 4 HOURS

Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

Do you think I could do it would break anything if I installed ubuntu onto my HD that I use for games? Then checked it out with that

You can move your drive as it is without hurting things. it just won't have drivers and (sometimes) windows wants you to reactivate. not a big deal.

 

Other option:

Partition your Hdd and insall Ubuntu on the new partition and you can use that anywhere/anytime as a backup OS that won't ever try to annoy you (and also will be immune to viruses on whatever machine you are throwing it into, gives you access to all the windows-protected files, etc)
