It is not exactly different in the things He does but it is in purpose and magnitude. The whole Bible and the history of the human kind is guided according to God's purpose of giving salvation to the human kind in the person of Jesus (Jn 3:16, I Tim 2:4). OT tells the first part of this purpose: There's a Savior that is coming. NT, of course, tells the second one: The Savior is already here in all His Glory. The HS acts according to this purpose from the very beginning (Gn 1:1-3)since He is also God. His role in the OT was to give guidance and to confirm God's support to very specific persons in very specific situations, such as profets (2 Cr 24:20, Dn 5:14, Ez 11:24, Ex 35:31) involved in Gods plans for preparing, firt Israel and then the whole world for the coming of the Savior. You can see this as little signs of His power, not plenty revealed nor given at that moment since it wasn't necessary according to God's Purpose. In the NT this has to change, the HS has to be plenty revealed since there is no more preparation but confirmation of His Support and Guidance to the greatest of all Profets, the Holy One, the One Choosen: Jesus Christ (Jn 14:16, Jn 15:26). Jesus himself asks our Father to send the HS plenty to us in this time, and accordingly the Father, throught Jesus, sends Him to us (Jn 20:22, Jn 16:15, Jn 14:26). So, HS shows all his glory and Power in the NT, in wich is not only for some people, but for everyone that makes a personal decition of taking Jesus as his Savior and King, for every Christian (Mr 1:8, Mt 28:19-20). Almost as long as people let him act (Gal 5:25). Also, since the Plan is now completely revealed He is also here to guide us to grow in Christ (Gal 5,Jn 14:16), to confirm the presence of Jesus betweem us(Gal 5) and many more!
