    Relocating hard drive


    Hey guys, I have a question, let's say that someone moved my hard drive and installed in to another computer, then he put it back to my computer, can I tell the difference in my computer now?

    One more question, if the above scenario were to happen, would my system restore points (before the events) still remain?

    Welcome to SevenForums MR. Moustache.

    Its technically possible but you system has to be almost identical. If you simply want to use it as another hard drive and not a boot drive, it should work fine.
