Dead MBP, Swop SSD to another MBP Question

Hello everyone,

My mbp is dead from water damage.

I wanted to know if i take the flash storage (SSD) out, can i simply swop this SSD to a new/used late 2013 macbook?

If i can, will my programs like photoshop, final cut pro, word etc show as well as photos, downloads and so on? I presume it is all kept on the SSD.

Any help appreciated here, thanks.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, Late Oct 2013

Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Like for like systems will be OK.

They must be the same series as Apple has different SSD's between the different series.

Make sure you fully shutdown your system & disconnect the battery before swap the SSD. Also make sure the SSD is not damaged from being wet, you may need to clean it with some isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush.

OWC may make an external enclosure for your SSD. They are called the Envoy series.
