You should never… EVER work on a computer with the power plugged in. If
you’re worried about static wear an anti-static grounding wristband. They
can be bought at Radioshack, Bestbuy, places like that.

Little question if i put an old hard drive with windows installed in a new
computer without windows, will the new computer get windows automatically?
or will windows be deleted?

You lost me in the first 30 seconds. First unplug your computer. No don’t.
Touch your computer first with it plugged in. No just leave it plugged
in…

Just a Tip! An older hard drive or most older Components take a Molex Cable
which is the 4-pin Big Connector for power. Great Tutorial Though!
