Can I just swap the hard drives of two macbook pros (different years)? I'd like to swap the hard drives of two Macbook Pros. One is a Core 2 duo model from 2010, the other a 2011 i5 model. Will this work? I just want to save time and not go through a lengthy data copying process.
Yes. In almost all cases, OS X software is hardware-agnostic (as long as the hardware comes from Apple).
