--- Quote from: Crispy_ on April 02, 2013, 09:27:26 AM ---I recently got a new computer and I was wondering, can I add some parts from my old computer and put it in my new computer? --- End quote --- So long as you have the proper cables and connectors, you can. --- Quote from: Crispy_ on April 02, 2013, 09:27:26 AM ---Both computers were bought already built, however both computers apparently can be expanded on as there is an "expansion bay" which appears to be a cd drive opening, but just a plate blocking it. --- End quote --- Yeah, most prebuilts have a free 5.25" drive bay. --- Quote from: Crispy_ on April 02, 2013, 09:27:26 AM ---I was thinking I could put a CD drive in my computer, and perhaps it's hard drive too, if I can have multiple ones. --- End quote --- You don't really need multiple DVD/CD drives in a computer unless you're into cloning disks. Multiple hard drives are possible, as long as you have the cables and connectors necessary. --- Quote from: Crispy_ on April 02, 2013, 09:27:26 AM ---Also, the recovery drive thing is another smaller hard drive, right? --- End quote --- Common misconception, that's a different partition on the same drive. Windows lists it as a different drive because it's assigned a drive letter. |

Just a note, I have windows 8 if that's important. |

It's used for restoring the OS to it's factory image. |

I looked inside my newer one and it appears to have different connections...? The older one has a gray flappy rubber thing and the new one just has plugs. |
