Hi guys! So I'm soon going to get my friend's computer who has a SSD as a boot drive, and a HDD for storage. My computer right now also has a SSD for a boot drive, and a HDD for storage. If I wanted to move all my stuff over, is it as easy as I think it is, with just taking my SSD and HDD and swapping it into his (now my) computer?

 

Really hoping it's that easy with no problems. Sorry for the newbie question.

Yes, if you move your SSD and hard drive into the new systems it should work no problem. You may have to re-enter your Microsft License in again but at the most that is all that will be required. I've done SSD swaps many times and it basically is plug and play.
