Backup and restore windows 7 on a lot of laptops

Hi all

I got 3 new laptops with the same model and I had to install Windows 7 on it.
I installed Windows 7 + drivers and software on the first and I backed up using the backup and restore tool in Windows 7 and I restore on two other laptops.
1 - How can I change the license for the other 2 laptops and provide new licenses for it.
2 is what I myself cause problems especially if the computers are on the network. I think that the 3 laptops now have the same Setup ID and I don't use sysprep to all. Any help or suggestion please?

If all three portable computers are the same exact model, you can use one of the machines and use it as a reference machine, install Windows 7, drivers, apps, set up the way you like, create a system image and restore on the other machines.

When you are restoring, you will need to do the following:

-Change the name of the computer

-Set up the unique product key (so each machine should have its own product key).

Click Start, right click on computer

Click on properties

Scroll down to the Windows Activation

Click on the link 'change product key '.

Enter the product key, click Next to activate via the Internet.

  • Satellite P750/P755 - backup and restore Windows 7

    Hello

    My hard drive is about to fail on my Windows 7 Satellite P750; I get warnings of impending failure for a month now. I bought a hard drive again, and he's ready to go, but I am unable to create a backup and restore point. I get an error message 0 x 81000037: "snapshots of files cannot be read.

    Let me give you a part of the history of my machine before we get to the question. Windows 7 is pre-installed on this machine. A year ago, I created a new partition and installed Linux. Linux then took over the responsibilities of the boot. A couple of weeks, I deleted the Linux partition. This gave me a problem because the computer could not start. Fortunately I had recently created a return upwards and the restore point, and during the process, I was asked if I wanted to create a Windows 7 Home Premium repair disc. I could use this CD to access a command line tool that makes the new bootable machine.

    However, I have more a hidden on my machine boot partition (at least according to the disk management snap-in I'm not). Now, I get the above error when I try to create a new backup and restore point. I don't have a copy of the previous backup and restore point (I deleted it to make room for a new).

    From my research, apparently, one of the possible causes of the error 0 x 81000037 is related to the size of the hidden boot partition. Because I do not have the hidden boot partition I fear this could be the cause.

    There are other possible causes of this error. For example, a virus that the antivirus refuses to give access to during the back up and restore the partition, and junction points in to save readers who are the mounted volumes. I ran a full scan on my computer and cannot find any threats. I checked my junction points (which are a bit) and none are mounted drives.

    This brings me to suspect that the lack of a boot partition is the problem. I saw in the forums of some suggest it is better to back up all my data in the traditional way (already done, since you ask), install the new drive to hard and then reinstall Windows 7.

    So eventually, we get to my question!

    Windows 7 is installed on my machine, I think that I don't have the disks to reinstall on a new hard drive. Is this correct? I am able to get a copy?

    To be honest, I wouldn't reinstall Windows on a hard disk again, rather than using a return to the top of the spirit and point of restoration. I have a LOT of programs and rubbish that have accumulated in it in the (almost) last 3 years.

    Thank you for your patience. If there are some details that might be useful, but I left out (I'm sure there is) please let me know.

    > I think Windows 7 is installed on my machine, that I don't have the disks to reinstall on a new hard drive. Is this correct? I am able to get a copy?

    You have not all discs because Toshiba provides clean recovery disc creator software which is always pre-installed on new laptop computers.
    This recovery disk tool or support of creator creates the recovery disk that can be used to recover the laptop.

    It was a big mistake not to create this disk, however, you have the possibility to order this disc here:

  • Backup and restore - Windows 7

    Apology, long story - cannot shorten it, otherwise I'll think I forgot something.

    I just rebuilt my PC, reinstalled Win 7 on a SSD and restored everything (or so I thought) all my data on a separate HARD disk.

    When I look at the data I find loads of it is missing. I'm afraid I don't know the reason but want someone more competent than me confirm my fears, or better yet, tell me differently!

    Before getting the SSD, I got a 1 TB disk partitioned in C: for windows and programs, as well as the d: for data. The data were vast dating back to the years whose number of Paperport files.  There's always a curiosity, perhaps caused by transfer of data between several computers and HARD drives older over the years, I could never "see" all of my My Documents Paperport files, but only by going to desktop (or Windows Explorer) and open D: > users and then my user name. will in this case showed my a whole much fuller of the files and folders to go through My Documents. I don't think it was to do with me do not include them in the library because I believe that I had added things to the library as he was transferred, but I could be wrong.

    I think that it is possible that I had managed to create two sets of users, possibly by copying my Windows XP user account and the game 'full' of files (including all my Paperport documents) was not really visible to my 'real' user account in Windows 7.

    I always kept backups (including Images of the system) using Windows backup on the external (USB) 1 TB HARD drive. (G)

    I created originally the SSD by cloning my C: partition to the new SSD. (I've always built my own PC and Windows 7 on the HARD drive was an OEM installation and I had no right, then disks). It worked well, but I've always had a message on startup asking to choose the "Recovered" version I wanted to start. (It is possible that during cloning, I managed to install windows twice).

    I finally decided to put things away to the top (and I had gotten my Win 7 discs at hand). I did a complete (so I thought) backup of my C: and D: drives on a brand new 1 TB HDD internal (e) I had installed as the old USB has been slow (and complete) in case anything went wrong. I had installed a new, pure on the SSD and then (stupidly in retrospect) re-partitioned disk HARD original 1 TB in a single partition D: and "restored" the data from the new E: drive on the re-partitioned D: drive and put all Windows sites to point to the drive D: for My Documents etc. That's when I found that all the stuff that I previously had access via the workstation > users > Stuart was missing. (Why oh why didn't I just use the new E:drive as the data Windows drive and copy the stuff up drive D: when I saw all this and work!)

    OK I though all is not lost - I have the original backup to disk USB g: so I restored from there. Same no result - no files Paperport, nothing of what I used to have access via my computer > users > Stuart.

    So no data only backup Windows 'official' user account backup and ignore anything else on the D: drive? Was I wrong my backups? Are my data hidden somewhere that maybe a full restore of the system of the E:drive be recovered? I don't think, but I hope.

    Advice, suggestions, commiserations welcome.

  • Cannot perform a backup with Backup and Restore (Windows 7) error 0 x 8100019

    I was able to run a backup on one of my other external hard drives-, but he did not have a sufficient space to manage the size of the backup that I specified. I recently bought a 3 TB hard drive to store a backup copy of my 1 TB hard drive Dell XPS 8300, and now I get error 0 x 8100019.

  • Backup and restore cannot find any backup sets.

    I had to reinstall windows 7 prof 64 using the original recovery partition and want to restore my data files that I had backed up using the backup and restore windows.  The files are on a network drive.  "When I run the restore I have 'Browse' the network choose the folder labeled" backup files aaaa-mm-jj xxxxxx "but it comes back with the error message: Windows could not find the backup sets on \\xxxxx please select a different location.

    Early research indicated it could be a permissions problem and the network drive is not a Microsoft Windows type disk I copied the folder and all the files on my C: drive and checked that they were all showing all permissions to all the users/system/everyone etc.  I tried again.  Same result.  I tried now selection of locations right differnet down the folder hierarchy (for example: in 'Catalogue' records and individual records date) but still get the same message.

    I realize that I could go in the individual zip files and restore everything manually, but the backup set has 9 different files and 525 zip datr files each with a tree long through the files of the hard disk C: before getting to the part of My Documents with data.

    It would be so much easier than Microsofts back/restore program does what it is supposed to do.  The only references I found in the web site of Support MS concerned questions of authorisation and in ensuring that the original folder is in the format "Yyyy-mm-dd of backup files xxxxxx"  I've done both.

    Any help gratefully received.

    Original title: restoration of Windows can't find the backup sets

    I solved the problem. It seems that, for a new installation (reinstallation of the operating system), it is necessary to set up a backup to the location of the original backup. After saving the new facility in the same place as the old backups, older backups are available to be applied.

  • Can I download Windows XP Backup and Restore Wizard?

    When I bought my computer I did not receive the Windows XP disks.  I want to make a backup of the entire system on an external hard drive, as opposed to the individual file backup.  All the help files I've found say to insert the XP disc.  Then I found the Backup Wizard online and install it directly to my computer?

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will need to install the XP Backup utility yourself and here are some instructions on how to do it.

    If you are not using XP Home and XP backup is to give you some grief, try to describe the issue in more detail.

    The backup program is automatically installed on XP Professional, but not on XP Home. If you have the genuine bootable XP Home installation CD, insert it into your system and navigate to this folder:

    \ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP

    Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file to start the installation.

    Here is a nice article from Microsoft which tell you all this:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=302894

    Here is another article that explains how to:

    http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

    If you don't have an installation CD and need to download the Ntbackup.msi file, here is the link if you can download:
    http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

    If you are using in relying on the built in NT backup to back up your system, it is the primitive technology (obviously - because you will be asked for a floppy disk).  If you have a disaster (even minor), you will have a big problem, trying to recovery your stuff, if you don't have a floppy drive.

    If you want to make a backup, it makes sense to use modern technology - and that the technology is not integrated into XP.

    There are many popular options for XP Backup and imaging software (s) of third parties.

    A people a popular seem to love East of Acronis.

    With this (free 30 day trial) you backup, you can make a bootable CD or bootable USB (which is modern, huh?) and use than disaster.

    They used to have a completely free version - maybe no more - just the trial, then you must buy it, but it is highly respected.

    It is so much more robust than the XP Backup, it's laughable.

    Many other options if you do a little research on Google...

    Here are a few products that PML has proposed may be attractive (use Google to find them):

    Acronis
    Macrium Reflect
    Paragon backup and restore
    DriveImageXML

  • How to create a recovery media factory with Dell backup and restore on Windows 10 1.6.2.4 v?

    I got today a Dell inspiron 3521 a customer, without warranty, after some checking, I discovered that the hard disk has errors and needs to be replaced

    No problem, the only problem is... I have no installation of Dell Windows 8 media. The laptop is updated to Windows 10 last year. In programs and features, I see that Dell backup and restore 1.6.2.4 v is installed. When I search the Dell backup or watch all the apps installed I can't find the program. So I can't run the program to create installation floppies

    When I go to:

    program/PC (x 86) / Dell backup and recovery, I see a lot of files and 4 records, but no configuration file.

    So my question is, how do you create a Dell Windows 8 installation media? Can I use after installing the new hard drive, reinstall Windows?

    For good order, I can't, until now still approach the hard drive.

    Who knows the solution to install the software dell of origin on the new drive?

    The application must be updated for Windows 10 - you can get it as a download from Dell.

    However, if 10 is already installed and enabled, you can also manually install WIndows 10 without the need of a product key - that way, however, do retain none of the applications Dell preinstalled on the system (which is not very important, as some of them such as PowerDVD would require a paid upgrade to work with Windows 10 in any case).

    The WindowsMail.MSMessageStore file is the file of database of WinMail. You will not be able to backup and restore that easily. You should back up the registry keys and the entire message store and no not only the database file. The WindowsMail.MSMessageStore file is only the database and does not contain messages. The messages are in the same directory, but under the directories that correspond to message folders in WinMail. Old Windows Mail would be apt file to search for.
