Hard Drive Swap from MBP DuoCore to new MBP i7?

[jpkinfla]

I'm thinking about upgrading my MBP 15" duo-core 2.66ghz model with the newer i7 2.6; and I was wondering if the hard drive can simply be swapped into the new MBP and work without any negative repercussions.

Thanks
Joe

If I remember correctly, as long as the hard drive has the latest version of OS X installed, the switch shouldn't have any problems. Once you swap it in, just run a system update and everything should be great. Of course, do a backup beforehand in case something goes wrong.

Is your older laptop SATA or ATA? (you can find specs through the System Preferences.

The older MBP is SATA... so it should be the correct drive to swap out with...
