    Hi all,

    Would there be any conflict in directly swapping my O/S SSD from my X5V6 to a X5V7 due to different CPU/screen, etc...?

    Cheers.

    I've not done it on those machines but I have had good luck doing it between similar hardware, sometimes you won't even notice anything even updating as it's so minimal.

    While a clean install would of course be safer, I bet it will work just fine moving the drive over. I think it will even activate with the new windows license fine (either automatically or possibly manually).
