I've yet to pull up the specs on a T60 vs T61 but I suppose there are negligible differences. Maybe it's just as easy as literally going to intel.com, downloading the latest *Intel Chipset Info* and this will get you up and running ----with your old hard drive in your Tt61, but a wild hunch *without me looking at spec differences* tells me it will be much more than that.

Questions. Have you tried to do this yet. Take your HD from your T60, put it in your T61, but not only boot up fine, but also will it not nag you....will all the hardware/drivers be seamless (my hunch is that it won't) working as it should be.

Personally, IMO, aside from the HD drive, and granted transfer of apps is a bitch....
you will be better off IMO doing data transfer. You will need to get whatever apps you don't have on the T60 to the T61, but again, this is just one mans opinion having been in the the *IT field* and just see the other side of things....


I don't think the helpdesk jockey will care either way, but my suspecting hunch regardless is that swapping hard drives from your current computer to a different one is not as easy as you may think it is--- unless you are tech savy to make sure drivers, etc is all nice and dandy in Device Manager. If my last sentence did not make sense to you, then it's a good indicator that you may be well over you head if you plan to do the HD swap.

no flame suit on....just sitting here offering a different angle of opinion ....
