    HDD installation


    Hey guys


    I'm still bit new at the hardware side of computers so bare with me.


    Senario:


    I need to upgrade my moms PC Tower and she wants more space I got two HDD to install I upgraded the one to Win 10 Pro but her old one has Win 10 Home on it and all her files.


    So here is my question:


    Is it possible to run both HDD but only using the Pro Version and collecting her files from the old one Home or not ?


    My thoughts:


    I'm scared that the two Windows version will clash and give her problems. Please reply with any form of help .

    :)

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.
