Fool Sierra?

[elf69]

I have a 2009 macbook now running sierra on an SSD.

It is great and works well, quite impressed.

Now I am also getting a 2009 macbook pro in next week or two.

What If I swapped the HDD?
I think Sierra will error and crash.

But is it conceivable that it might work?
I will make a full time machine backup as I normally do first.

Worth a try?

AS I said I think the hardware ID will make it crash/error/etc.

Worth a try! Let us know if it works.

(Originally said it would work fine, as I forgot the MBP in question doesn't officially supported Sierra)

Will let you know but will be week or so as pro not here yet.

due to finally get the macbook pro early next week.
will let you know if the swap works, after I made a time machine backup of course.
