Quick Check re windows install

[suarve]

Right, I have an oldish SATA drive with an old install of windows. I want to use this drive on my main pc purely for storage. Can i just double check that i could plug in into my current pc, select the OS installed on my current pc at startup and format the old drive (assume it will show in my computer).

Thanks

Make sure that the BIOS is not set to boot from it because it would likely just error out.

You should be able to plug it in fine, then go to Disk Manager (Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management) and format and assign a drive letter.
