my SSD (runs on Win7 32-bit) is cloned from an old Acer desktop (game over liao).........
1) so can i put in my SSD to replace my friend's laptop's HDD (runs on Win7 but don't know 32-bit or 64-bit) ?
2) the laptop has a Win7 product key so can i use that to upgrade my SSD to Win10 64-bit ?
3) the laptop (with HDD) was using WiFi for internet but when i tried with LAN cable, no internet connection.......i always use LAN cable for internet when using the SSD in my old pc......so put SSD in laptop, LAN cable should work ??
1)You mean directly replace the HDD.
It is a big No. The hardware and bios settings are different will have problem.
2)No need to use win7 product key.
Go to microsoft Windows website to download fresh windows 10 into your SSD after you have plucked the SSD into the laptop.(You can use USB thumb drive method to install ISO file of windows 10.)Your friend has a licence windows 7. It shd be auto activated under windows 10 via windows 10 digital licence.
3) Probably the LAN port is faulty.
Or do a Bios reset by setting it to load default mode. Or reinserting the wifi network card or Chg another wifi network card w bluetooth capability if you want to increase Wifi speed.
Wireless N card with dual bands, $7 can get.
Wireless AC card about $20+
Wireless Ax card /Wifi 6 about $30 to $40.
Check the shape and size of wifi network card is correct before buying.

If point 2 is not working or you still want to keep the HDD stuff, you can buy a sata cable to connect your SSD and download free earlier version of minitool freeware to clone the HDD.
