    So I'm planning on moving up from a E6410 to a M4500. Should I be able to just take my hard drive out of the E6410 and plug it into the M4500 without many problems? I understand I may need to change video drivers (although both are NVIDIA).

    Thanks!

    Since E-series laptops can use a common image, it should work, but ideally, you should reinstall the OS.

    Thanks Robin, that's what I was thinking. I might just pop it in for the time being and then when I get some spare moments I'll wipe it.
