    Long story short - During the Christmas break I've transfered all my stuff from my 700m to my new M1330 (2.2GHZ)

    After the Christmas break I got a better deal on a M1330(2.0GHZ) but same memory, hard drive, screen etc.)

    Is there complications that will happen if I do a HD swap? I really dont feel like speading hours backing up over 20 GB of emails from windows live to windows live. Please discuss.

    You should be able to swap the HDD with no issues.

    Great. So processor speed wont be an issue? Also, I noticed theres a window seal at the bottom. Do you think this will pose an issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    Dell has an OEM license for the OS so it doesn't matter what the product key is as long as the version of Windows is the same.
