Hard drive question

I'm just wondering when You replace a hard drive, does the internet service stop? If you still have the internet after, is the history and all the settings erased?

A new hard drive doesn't have ANYTHING on it unless you clone the original drive to it.

It you are replacing your hard drive you will need to reload the OS. You will need to transfer the data from the old hard drive to get any personal data back.
