Clone one notebook to another
Is it possible to clone from an outdated notebook to a more advanced notebook. i know i can ghost the drive but i am afraid i might get blue screen on boot.
Unless the hardware is basically the same, you're better off doing a fresh install of Windows.

Which is a likely scenario to occur.
You can try but be prepared for the blue screen to occur. You may hit driver problems and you'll have to be prepared to have the drivers ready or access to them. You may also hit Windows licensing problems but that depends on the license on it and whether you are cloning to the same OEM machine.
