    Looks like a nice laptop. From your link, it already has a 256gb SSD in it. You can't normally pull your hard drive with Windows installed out of one pc and use it in another, it does not have the right drivers and windows will give you a BSOD before it'll boot up, If it did manage to boot up, it will most likely fail windows activation.
    You'll be much better off to use a clean install of 7 and then get all your data off the old laptop and put it on the new one

    Thank you, that is good to know. I thought I could be lazy. It does not take that long to clean install.
    That one already ahas SSD, but many offers do not.
    If anyone wants to use that shop remember they are german, so their keyboard aredifferent, you just change the z and the y :confused:
