    If I got a different Studio 1555 could I just swap the harddrives? Cuz I've already spent like 50 hours setting this one up with programs and files and settings etc.

    Yes, you can swap the hard drives. support.dell.com has the service manual for the 1555 with instructions on how to do that.

    All data and windows functions and programs will operate as if it was the same PC?

    You MAY have to re-activate Windows, but that takes all of five minutes, and the license key is on a sticker under the laptop's battery.
