Change my hard drive for an SSD. Re-install windows 7?

I have a XPS 9000 with a hard drive. Now, I would like to remove the hard drive and put an SSD in its place. Then, I would like to do a clean reinstall of win 64. But Dell no longer provides the physical copies of windows. So, how can I move my copy of win 7 64 on the new drive?

Any help would be appreciated.

You can create the recovery (using Dell DataSafe local) discs, or you can order Dell reinstallation media.  Dell does not provide media automatically with your purchase (except if you so specify when ordering), but you can order it after the sale.  Call support... or someone will probably provide the link here shortly.

    Question: How do I reformat my another computer on Windows 7 (Vista upgrade)?

    Note: Two computers are different: the first is a HP, the other is a gateway.

    ("Partitions" of hard drives may be different.)

    I don't know: if I can use the recovery made the first computer disc to reformat my second hard drive?  If this isn't the case, I'll be in trouble, because I don't know how to reformat my second computer.

    You need to use the means to reinstall that you can upgrade Windows Vista Setup to format the drive.

    The other system recovery media is likely to not work, but you can always try, but have appropriate reinstall media just in case.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  • What hard drive for t410s SSD?

    Hi guys

    I want to install a SSD HDD in my T410s: someone has done this before?

    (1) it will make faster?

    (2) what SSD will fit without problem?

    Tom

    Yes, it will be faster, but you need to look for 1.8-inch SSD, they are now quite rare and not cheap.

    Look for something like Intel X - 18 m.

    Also, you can remove the drive optical and put in an SSD to 2.5 inches in this box if you want to. This can be a cheaper and you will get no speed penalty, as the main hard drive and optical drive Bay use SATAII connection.

  • HP Envy Touchsmart j122TX 15: cloning of HARD drive for an SSD and installation on HP Envy Touchsmart 15 j122TX

    I will replace an old 1 TB HHD by a new 1 TB SSD Samsung 850 EVO on my HP Envy 15 Touchsmart j122TX. I also have Acronis True Image 2015. How can I go on cloning of the HDD to the SSD and installing the SSD on my HP, implementation of the operating system in order to ensure a good performance? Please give me step by step instructions I'm inexperienced. Thank you for your support.

    You need a bootable media because you cannot clone Windows player while it is in use. If you start another source (bootable support) leaving the main hard drive passive and quiet, so it can be copied sector to the new clean disk. I explained you start from the Acronis Disk and when the interface is in place you select "utility" and one of them is 'clone disk '. This is how you use the bootable disc in the cloning process.

    As with the post before me you simply remove the MSSD. However, in this case the user would do a clean install. Cloning will be hover over the driver of storage for the SSD controller and will not have to load the RAID driver separately. The way you do it is much easier.  I would like to dissociate the WSSD since the main hard drive using Intel Rapid Storage (disable acceleration), remove the WSSD and start-up of the former hard drive without the WSSD in place one or two times before cloning.

    Contact sony and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

  • Preparation of the hard drive for ESX 3.5 install

    I have downlaoded a trial version of ESX 3.5, burn a cd with the ISO file and tried to install it on my workstation intel.   The installation says that it cannot find a partition.

    I understand that ESX 3.5 runs under Red Hat linux. I need to install Red Hat Linux first? VMWare is recommended? I have fedora 9

    Essentially could someone indicate the steps needed to prepare the hard disk for installation?

    My workstation is configured as follows:

    1.8 G P4 with 1.5 GB Ram and 200 GB IDE hard drive.   I can install it on this system or do I dual CPU, & gt; 2 gig of Ram and a drive hard ide not?

    Can I migrate between ESXi and ESX 3.5 hosts?

    Thank you

    Hello

    The installer ESX install basically 2 things. First, it installs the vmkernel and its Elements, and the second thing it installs is the RHEL3 based on GNU/Linux or the service console management appliance. The considered distinct elements and it will make more sense. ESX is NOT Linux. The kernel running on the hardware is the vmkernel. The vmkernel creates a virtual machine for GNU/Linux management machinery to run during the start-up phase of ESX. The vmkernel is an exclusive hypervisor. Also to be called Linux, the kernel must be blessed by Linus Torvaldis... If you really want the details about how ESX boots please refer to VMware ESX Server in the enterprise structure because it contains this information.

    If you can not start ESX and then very probably not have a RAID/SCSI/SATA/SAS controller supported in use. This controller must be on the HCLs already reported in the previous posts.

    Note that IDE is not supported in some way. Very few SATA controllers are supported. So if your "Workstation" uses the IDE or a RAID/SCSI/SATA/SAS controller not supported then your options for virtualization are limited to the use of VMware Server, WOrkstation or ESX from VMware Workstation.
