Hey guys,

If I change my MacBook's hard drive for another MacBook's hard drive, will that void my Apple Care?

It shouldn't do. As far as I'm concerned the HDD is a user serviceable part. Either way, it's suggested to keep the original hard drive so you can put it back in if you need to take it in for service.

Replacing the HD on a MacBook is user-replaceable and doesn't void warranty.
