Does it have the capacity to copy all data from the computer it is replacing?

it most likely has more than enough capacity provided the apps/programs are compatable from older versions of windows.

as long as your laptop takes a SATA drive, you should be able to use this drive to replace it. The drive will detect the capability of the system and adjust its transfer speed to remain compatible

Yes, it does but it's a cheap one and lost connection to my laptop all the time. Not good when you're copying stuff... I ended up buying a $10 Amazon USB cable that now works like a charm and doesn't lose connection. I highly recommend doing that so you won't lose any data or corrupt your drive.

No, you just have to go through the lengthy process of re-downloading everything onto the new hard drive

Yes, it can be replaced. I have done it myself. As others already mentioned you will need a msata ssd

I'm not sure . But it backed everything on my hard drive . So all of my information and files we're backed up . So with that i would guess so . Sorry i could not answer for sure .

I'm pretty sure. Seems like copying has nothing to do with the computer. Good luck. Jim

Absolutely. Use Carbon Copy Cloner and that will work great. However, I would just take the old HDD and stick it in a drawer as a backup drive, get another SSD and use it as external super fast storage.

Most definetly. We transferred everything from the desktop to it and it didn't move the memory but a hair. I suggest when u do, label the folders differently so you will know which computer it came from.

If you copied anything or backed up to the drive, you can copy them back to the new computer. If you backed up in Windows, you can restore to the new computer in Windows.

Absolutely! I replaced the HD with an SSD (Samsung Pro 840 250GB). The computer works amazingly fast and it is so reliable especially after it was upgraded to Windows 8.1.

The disk and a software cd (and a manual I think, can't remember), you will need another equipment if you want to clone your old disk

It Should, just be certain that you transfer all the internal parts to the new shell ie key and security chip.

Yes. Every computer holds the hard drive differently so they make all harddrives the same and you simply swap out old one with the new one. And if like me you were not able to back up anything be prepared to have too install windows again and also message your manufacturer your computer info and ask for a link to all the drivers you will need to make your computer able to use all of its features. You may not even have a internet driver or WiFi capability for instance until you install drivers for it I'm this instance another computer and a flash drive will be handy

No, you can copy from your old hard drive to new drive or I took mine to Best Buy and had them transfer my OS and files I wanted to keep.

Are you talking about cloning the contents of this drive to your computer? If so, yes. It is indeed possible, manually or with the help of freeware. I recommend the latter though. I did the opposite though as I have a 3TB drive. Good luck.
