Removed Win 7 drive- plugged into 3.0 USB but won't boot
My HP laptop died but the drive worked. I removed the drive, bought an adaptor to plug it into my USB 3.0 port on my new HP G7 2269wm laptop. It has Win 7 Home Premium but won't boot up on my new computer even though I change the bios to select the port. I don't want to install a new Win 7 over it as it will overwrite my info. I currently have a dual boot system now: Windows 8 and Windows 7. But the Windows 7 is a clean install and I want to run the Win 7 from my old laptop through my USB 3.0 port. Any ideas?
