Move hard drive to newer iMac
I see one a somewhat-similar post from 2014 but not sure if its still applicable….
I replaced the hard drive in my EMC2211 (iMac 24” early 2008 3.06ghz) in 2017 with a Seagate BarraCuda 4TB SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache 3.5-Inch. Its running fine but want to go to a newer operating system — I’m suck on El Capitan.
I’m considering purchasing a 2016 or 2017 21.5 or 27” iMac with a small capacity HDD and then just replace the this machine’s HDD with the one out of my EMC2211. Will the new(er) machine accept the drive without any fuss (i.e., just swap it out without any configuration and power up) or will I need to go through another process (i.e., time machine it, erase the Seagate HDD, install, etc.)?
Thanks!
Mike

I have a 5K 27" 2017 3.4 i5 in really excellent condition (machine never opened)(in box) and known history that I am thinking of listing on eBay. Email me if want to know when I post it.
