Can I add an HDD with Win10 into a laptop that already has Win10?

[GunnarFabiano]

Sounds weird, but here's the deal. I've got a Win10 laptop. It has an unused additional HDD slot. And I got my hands on an unused laptop, so naturally, I took it apart. Now I've got a 750gb HDD which would be a shame to throw out, so I want to add it to my laptop. But the HDD has Windows on it.

So my question is, is it ok if I just slap it in? Or will my laptop get a brain freeze from 2 drives with an OS on each of them?

will work fine, just enter bios and ensure you're booting the the drive you want. By default, it should assume the option it already is - in your case, its your current windows. So i would just put it in, and do a format - after removing any data you want to save.

Or just Plug it in there and Reformat the 750gb HDD. Your laptop wont boot the other windows 7 anyway so just use the other HDD for a fresh storage

You can slap it in. Just make sure to boot from the right drive when pc boots up (can check thru the bios). Then once booted you can wipe the hard drive and use it as storage instead of a boot drive.
