SSD 128GB to 256GB
Hello, I have now a Dell XPS with a mother board 8w1y3, which SSD is 128GB.
I had before a HP Spectre which SSd is 256GB (3.3V , 1.5A).
Both SSD are Samsung and have the same kind of port.
Question: can i put my old 256GB SSD into my new laptoo-motherboard 8w1y3?
Regards,

So I guess the same would have to be done with all my programs?
I had a whole bunch of softwares there, and just thinking to reinstall them...
But actually my question is if you guys think these SSD's would be compatible..?

Subject to reloading the OS, yes. You can't transfer the OS from the HP to the Dell intact though - you will need to do a complete reinstall.

SSD hardware is universal -- that's no problem.
The OEM version of Windows from an HP cannot be transferred to a Dell -- it won't activate and MS won't allow it. Beyond that, the hardware differences between the systems will likley result in the need to reinstall everything anyway.

ok, so let me see whether I understood.
Never the less... SSD's are still compatible? I can still put that 256GB SSD in my new laptop, despite the differences in the amperes?
