asked on MacOS: Can the TimeMachine HDD's be used on a different PC?
I bought a replacement MacBook, and inserted the 500BG SSD from the old machine into the new one. I also have a few backup HDD's which I used with TimeMachine on the old machine.
Can I safely use those drives with the new PC? The new MacBook Pro is of the same vintage as the old one, and I moved all configurations to the new PC by way of swapping the old SSD into the new PC.
Thanks.

I have no need to delete it. It's the same data.
I was just worried that Time Machine would see the different machine serial number and consider a new backup and shred the old data.

I am just afraid to plug it in to find out what would happen.
