Swapping LCD drive into new OLED

So this is probably a dumb question, but I got a refurbished OLED and plan to pop my 2tb drive from my LCD model into the new OLED.

This should just be plug and play right? I don’t see anything about the OLED decks using a different OS or firmware or anything.

EDIT: Thanks for the feedback y’all! I’m going to try it and see what happens. I’ll report back if anything funky happens. Not a big deal if I end up needing to reformat the drive.

EDIT2: Replaced the stock OLED drive with the 2tb drive from the LCD this morning, and so far so good - no issues to report.

Yeah I did exactly that. It just needs an update afterwards.
