Hi all,
I have an Asus N56VM in which I have an SSD running windows 7. Fancying the slightly faster CPU and the GT650M in the Asus N56VZ, I bought that and would like simply to switch my SSD into the new laptop. The new laptop is currently running windows 8, but I was thinking since they're almost identical it wouldn't notice the switcheroo and would just run the windows 7 SSD. Unfortunately it isn't doing - it's giving me a boot security warning, and then when I bypass that, it tells me it can't boot for some reason and to insert the installation disk and do a repair yatter yatter.
Is there anything I can do to make it work without completely reinstalling windows?
Cheers
