Yes.If I remove hard drive from plato and place it on dell ... will I have to get drivers?
Nope, because when Windows is being installed it sets itself up to work with the hardware that's currently in the computer.or everything will function well?
You can download the drivers directly from DellIf not, I have lost the drivers cd for dell. Which ones should I download? I have a dell optliplex gx 620 (the big one)
Thanks in advance.
Sure, no problem.Thanks for your answer.
More than likely, yes. (Get and install them).So if I get the hard drive from plato to dell(which I removed his hard drive) I will have to get dell's drivers?
Look in Device Manager. Whatever has an exclamation point ("!") or a question mark ("?") needs to be fixed.I've seen the dell's driver download section but I don't know what to download. For example, for the Audio section it has 3-4 things. How do I know what's the right thing for my dell pc?
One question what OS is installed on the Dell originally and on the Plato originally?One is dell and the other one is plato. If I remove hard drive from plato and place it on dell which is formatted, will I have to get drivers

If i pull out the dell's hard drive so it will remain without any hard drive and put the plato's hard drive on dell, won't that replace the OS?
Exactly unless the Plato has exactly the same motherboard, video, soundcard, chipset and everything then none of the drivers for the plato will work.And for the drivers, as they are on the plato's hard drive, why will I need to re-install dell's drivers? It's because plato's drivers differ from the dell's?
As I stated above it's just not the drivers but the OS as well.If yes, why should I get it, if I can download all the drivers from dell and write them on a cd and have them all the way?
Understand something.
You cannot install a OS from another system on the Dell system.
If the OS is currently installed on another system it cannot be installed again. You can't use a reg key from the side of the Dell to install a retail copy of the OS.
The recovery cd has the OS and the drivers specific to that model Dell.
Everything on one cd.
