Re: [Thinkpad] Upgrade-best option

I think you should. As long as there isn't a disk geometry
problem it should work. I believe you can do this, but you'll
find that unless the video card is the same you'll have to
install new drivers for that. Sound and ethernet might be
different as well. But Windows should work. If it doesn't,
post that along with any messages you see.
