G Gordon.C Member Oct 18, 2008 #1 Hi, I am building a new PC and I am planning to reinstall my system on my old computer and then just insert the hard drive into the new PC. Does it not cause any harm to the new hardware or possibly decrease its potential performance?

But that is a good point. Well then I buy a new sys with my new PC no problem So does it harm the hardware or not? Last edited: Oct 19, 2008
