Here is the question I answered: 2014 BIOS Write-Protect Screw HP Chromebook 14

Here is the question I discovered: 2017 How to remove BIOS Write-Protect Screw for HP Pavilion 14 Chromebook

I have already received an up-vote on my answer, and don't want to delete it. Is there a way to move an answer from one question to another. Or should I post a duplicate? Should I post a link to my other answer? I would post a link in a comment, but don't have enough rep. How do I make this tidy?

###Update------------------------

Well I guess we resolved this. Although not without some clumsiness.

We got there in the end though.

In the future should I just post the new and delete the old? Will it be noticed what I did? Or will I lose rep? I noticed like 10 rep disappeared when I deleted my question(although happily back now).

I suppose I could just put links under each to each other with explanations of the situation, until the old one gets deleted or I feel like deleting it...

...its just kind of annoying to lose rep when you have so little.
