The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

Pull the old hard drive out as is, with all your OS and programs still on it. Put the new one in and install fresh just as you suggested.

Installing to the external will not probably work, so you need to pull the screwdriver out first .
