    I'll be getting a new x220 in a few days and had a question about transfering / installing my existing 470 SSD into it. Can I just swap drives (leaving Windows 7 64bit (home premium)) installed and uninstall / update to the x220 drivers. It's currently in a x120e and I wanted to move it to the new x220.

    Or

    Is it just easier to go download Windows 7 Pro (mydigitallife), use my activation key, and start completely fresh with all new drivers??

    Thanks in advance.
