My old (2011) Thinkpad is giving me problems and I have found a replacement.
Enter my newer (2011) (newer to me anyway) HP 85760p. Processor specs are comparable since they both have 1st gen i7 processors.

My question is - Has anyone here had luck just moving their hard drive over and the OS runs?

I have a backup and can do a clean install and then apply the backup but am curious if maybe moving the hard drive will worklatest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=7_482NA_L_g:TreEF-C7h-4:F7zBnMy latest?i=7_482NA_L_g:TreEF-C7h-4:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=7_482NA_L_g:TreEF-C7h-4:gIN9vFw7_482NA_L_g
