Solved by Guest Novakane_,
You can't boot the old OS. This doesn't mean you won't have access to the data i the drive once you connect it as a secondary drive. You can reinstall the old OS when you plug in the drive in the new build but it will be a fresh install and you would need to do all the settings and reinstall all the old applications and games.Captain_WD.
Would files be erased if i took that step of reinstalling the os?
