Change HDD to the SSD, what are the options?

Hi guys, new to the forum, I just bought a thinkpad x130e during a sales event on one of the local retailer, pretty excited, because I like the rugged design.

I am looking to upgrade to 320G HDD for one SSD 128G... but I have no installation disc 7 windows very practical, so, what are the options for me to install the operating system (windows 7).

I don't know if there is a way to transfer the whole of the SSD HARD drive? is there a trick to perform? or quite simply, I just bought the new copy of windows?

COS, I noticed that I have a windows7 pro product key at the bottom of my thinkpad, I kinda don't want to lose money.

Help, please...

You don't need to buy another copy of Win7. You will need

1 SSD. It has to be is not 7mm thick, the most common 9.5 mm thick.

2 USB box for your HARD drive,

3. software to "clone" the content of your disk to your SSD. Acronis True Image is a well-respected package that does this. There are also a few free utilities that can do this, however, I'm not familiar with them.

Procedure:

1. move the HARD disc on the outer envelope.

2 put the SSD in the X130e.

3 reboot from the HARD disk. (You need to interrupt the boot with the blue ThinkVantage button to specify).

4. install Acronis (or equivalent).

5 RIP clone disk. You will have to tell the software how you resize partitions because you go to a smaller drive.

6 restart from SSD.

  • Given that you have blocked Adobe Flash and I uninstalled as suggested by many commentators, what are my options to see the content I want to see?

    Yet once, now that Adobe's Flash problems are everywhere the news what are my options to display the content on the sites that were previously used by Adobe Flash? I uninstalled Adobe Flash, but need an alternative. Thank you!!!

    Mozilla had 'soft-blocked' version 18.0.0.203 and earlier, which still allowed you will activate Flash on websites of that trust.

    If you are not accustomed to using the "Request to activate" feature with any of your plugins, here's what to expect:

    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.

    If you see a good reason to use Flash, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click on the Lego-like icon in the address bar to allow Flash.

    But some pages use Flash only for tracking or play ads, so if you do not see an immediate need for Flash, feel free to ignore the notification. It will just sit there in case you later want.

    Until this ordeal of previously unknown security flaws shakes, you might want to try this and see how it fits. To set the Flash "Ask to activate", after you have reinstalled it, open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Search 'Shockwave Flash' and always change 'enable' to 'ask to activate '.

  • My husband hates version 4 so what are my options when the support went to the old version?

    My husband hates the new tabs in version 4 and had me reload the old version. What are my options for using Firefox, after that support is gone? I don't want to use Internet Explorer. Someone at - it an alternative?

    "My husband hates the new tabs in version 4...".

    Don't like the "tabs on top"? You can change this to display the tabs below the toolbars, for example, one of the following:

    • Using the Firefox button: click on the Firefox button > Options, click on "Tabs at the top" to remove the check mark (checked = on, unchecked = off)
    • Using the Menu bar: click on view > toolbars, click "Tabs at the top" to remove the check mark
    • Hold DOWN the ALT key while pressing keyboard letters ATV (removes / places the checkbox for "Tabs at the top" without having to open a dialog box)

    "What are my options for using Firefox, after support is gone?"

    Firefox 3.6 is likely to be supported for some time. In general, supported by Mozilla continues for 6 months after the introduction of a new version, but Firefox 3.5 is still supported beyond this 'General' rule of 6 months.

    NOTE: There are other changes that can be made to Firefox 4 to make it look and behave more like Firefox 3.6. See:

    You need to update the following:

    • Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152

      1. Check your plugin versions on one of the following links:
    1. Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.

      • If you do not have the current version, click on the "Player Download Center" link on the 'download and information' or 'Download manual installers' below

      • Click on the installer, you just download and install
        • Windows 7 and Vista: will need to right click on the installer and choose 'run as administrator '.

  • Now that the utility install cleanup is no longer available, what are my options to uninstall a program that cannot be uninstalled using the standard method?

  • Popup vs... What are my options?

    We are porting a huge CRUD type application that leverages many pop-up windows to enter the part 'detail' of relations master / detail. Cannot change design - need to keep the windows pop up, or at least something that "looks like" a popup to the end user. These popups of detail were usually several ComboBoxes which must be dynamically from a database. If I enter the data service to load these items in drop-down list in each respective popup, there is a noticeable delay to the user final pop up while initializes. It's ok, once (the first time), but not all the time they're trying to change a detail record. We found the start of loading data into the parent ComboBox and then passing a reference to the popup. That works, but it makes the parent component inflated by a code that is actually in the context menu, and then must duplicate code on any screen requiring this popup. And there are dozens of these popups on every screen. What are my options? I need basically initialize a child window (have the busy ComboBoxes) no matter how many times the user opens and closes. I use TitleWindows to these popups for the moment. Thanks for all the ideas.

    We went with the concept of "list manager", by creating a class that encapsulates all the data required by each ComboBox in the system recoveries. These are loaded sloths, in the sense that, if a screen needs, say, list A, B and C, this form shall submit these requests to a queue in the ListManager. When all the data list are extracted from the database (they may already be there from a previous call), the ListManager fires an event and the caller know that the data is ready. Serialization is important because Combos must come before setting the value to display. The ListManager contains only data, like ArrayCollections converted from XML and is used as a singleton. The ArrayCollections are accessible to any screen that needs to get a drop-down list box.

    Hello:

    Yes, you will need to purchase a full version of Windows 7.

    You can go two routes:

    1. a full OEM version that will be good for this PC

    It will cost you less than a full retail version, but once again, once you install it on that PC you will not be able to transfer.

    2. a commercial version that you can remove from this PC and transfer it to any other PC you want.

    W7 Home Premium will be less expensive than W7 Pro or Ultimate for OEM versions complete or full retail.

    The ride. I like NewEgg me.
