I have a dell inspiron laptop 15 5578. My mother board went out. I want to know if I can put my hard drive into another computer. The other computer is the same one. I have heard that I can and have heard that it won't work. That the data will be corrupted if I do that. I have called dell and they said they would not recommend it but would not say why. Instead they want me to talk to a tec expert for a fee. I just want to know if I can swap out the drive and get my programs and data. Any help would be appreciated.

Please advise us what the exact 7-character "service tag" number is that's on those 2 Dell laptops.

Once we have that information, we can determine if they are the exact same model and came with the exact same hardware and came with the exact same Windows operating system.
