Can I add another hdd to my sons up and running pc from my old pc? The hdd I want to add has a windows 8 operating system on it and was used with a very similar motherboard. The main reason I would like to add it is because it has a lot of photos etc on it.
 
One of the main reasons for doing this is to backup the photos on the hdd to our external hdd.

If I select in the bios to make sata 1 priority which is the drive we want the system to run of then add the other drive into sata port 2 is there a high chance this will work and just add another drive into the "My Computer"?
 
Thanks for the replys I added the extra hdd into sata port 2 on the motherboard and all seems fine I now just have a extra Drive under "my computer". I can access photos etc.
