[QUOTE="Jason Freeland, post: 4387904, member: 45827"] Do you know what type of drive is in the new computer? Is it about the size of a stick of gum or a deck of cards? Reason I ask is you can change which drive your system will boot off of in the UEFI (BIOS) that you can get into on system startup. You generally hit either the delete key or F2, just as the system is starting and keep hitting it until you get into the UEFI. You can also hit F8 on startup to select which drive you are going to boot off of, if that is the only thing you want to get into the UEFI for. If you aren't comfortable monkeying around with stuff in these places, I would have your tech guy pull off whatever files you want from the old drive and then format it for use as spare storage/backup.
