• Steps to a clean reinstall of Windows 7 Professional upgrade.

  Greetings,

  I want to do a clean reinstall (was installed once), on the same computer, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade version) and I'm not 100% sure how to do it properly.

  I have:
  -Windows 7 Home premium 64 - bit RETAIL
  -UPGRADE Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

  If I want to do a clean reinstall, I know that I have to reinstall Windows 7 family premium first, but I have to reactivate before you do the upgrade?

  I ask because according to the EULA, we should not use Windows 7 Home premium again after the upgrade of the first time. (I don't want to lose my driver's license)

  Thank you in advance,

  Koldunic

  No, but you should do a custom installation using the Professional Windows 7 disc in order for a compliance audit to make qualification allows you to use the upgrade retail license.

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

• No Audio - after a clean reinstall of Windows XP Edition family

  Had a network worm in my computer that McAfee didn't detect.

  Advised to do a clean reinstall of Windows, for many that lost all audio, my motherboard is made by Foxconn, any ideas how I can find the correct drivers for this problem?

  Completing all the windows updates since, but still no sound!

  Hello

  Just unzip the files, you should be able to right click on the file and select "extract here". Once the files are extracted, just locate the .exe file and double-click it to launch the installation program, from there just follow the guests to install the driver. You may need to restart the computer for the changes to be detected. :-)

• Clean install of Windows XP Professional on a WD 500 GB SATA2 HDD

  Respected members, I've never ever had this problem. Today I bought a HDD WD 500 GB SATA2 16 MB buffer.

  I tried to do a clean installation of windows xp professional on this topic (quick format) but each time the installation is complete to copy of files and restarts the computer, when it tries to boot from a hard drive it gives me an error any hardware problem.

  "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem.

  Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check the hardware path and startup disk.

  Please check the Windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware for more information reference manuals. »

  The next time I try to boot from it, she said something about "hal.dll" missing. Do you think that this may be a hardware problem (but I am reminding you that I bought today, it's new, it's a warancy) or windows xp pro sp2 is not supported for the 500 GB hard drive (which I know is not possible: S)

  Hoping for an answer

  Thanks in advance

  Is this the only drive in the system? If so, run the disk Western Digital diagnostic utility. No matter that the reader is right out of the box. In fact, if the material is going to fail, it will normally be done fairly quickly - sometimes right out of the box - or go for years.

  If the drive passes the test, try "slipstreaming" of your installation of XP with Service Pack 3 media.

  http://theeldergeek.com/slipstreamed_xpsp3_cd.htm

  If the drive is not the only le seul in the system, disconnect the other and try the installation again. The missing hal.dll indicates a damaged or missing boot.ini file and possibly other startup files. If you have an old IDE drive in the boot.ini system file is probably on that instead of on the new drive where it belongs.

• How to do a clean install of Windows 7 Professional of a DVD on the ProBook s 4530?

  So I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit installed on my laptop and I want to get rid of it completely and to do a clean install of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit from a DVD.
  I don't want to use windows anytime upgrade somehow! Because I have a few serious bugs with my current installation and a clean install, I can be sure to get rid of them

  I'd appreciate if someone could tell me how exactly to do this and if all my data will be deleted. If so, will it download all drivers HP and the software again by myself? :/

  roby1324 wrote:

  Bugs are not serious but they affect several programs and it is impossible to use my laptop, I was doing.
  And no, I have no recovery option, I don't have any dvd with my laptop, or something like that and personally I didn't do all the backups. Which was a mistake that I won't repeat.
  In addition, because of my college, I get a free copy of win 7 professional so why not use it?
  I have already burned on a DVD, now I just need to detail how a facility own n_n
  So after I installed win 7 Professional I just copy and replace Driverstore and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRVSTORE instead of download the drivers?
  BTW, I'll accept your next answer as the snap

  You will use the copied Driverstore and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRVSTORE for is the source of the drivers when you then. Do not replace the folder in the new installation of Windows with the folder that you copied from the initial installation of Windows. It would not be a good idea.

  Once you have done the copy of the file and have it practice you can simply put the installation DVD into the DVD drive and boot from it. There will be a point where asks you if you want to save your previous installation. Say no to it.

  At this stage you can always do a defined recovery disk. I recommend that you do this. This is the copy of the operating system and drivers you purcased your PC with. If you do not want is not a problem like UO can always buy it at HP over the next years.

• Upgrade the hardware of Dell XPS (L521x) how to perform a clean reinstall of Windows 10 Pro

  Hello

  I searched on the internet with the question that I have before doing the upgrade and the re-installation of windows. But the messages and solutions are all scattered. I really want to clear this for me once and for all if possible.

  First of all, the material that I bought for this upgrade:

  1 Samsung 850 EVO mSATA SSD 120 GB (to replace the one 32 GB (factory default)

  2 western Digital Black 750Go Performance Mobile HDD (7200 RPM, 2.5 inches)

  3 Intel (r) Dual Band Wireless - AC 7260 (802.11ac, 2 x 2 Wi - Fi, Bluetooth)

  4. crucial Ballistix Sport SODIMM 16 GB (2x8GB) PC3-14900 CL10 at 1.35v 204 pin memory

  BTW, my Dell XPS 15 L521x has an intel core i7-3632QM and an nVIDIA GeForce GT 640 M. It also comes with 32 mSATA SSD as cache for the WDC 1 TB HARD drive.

  My goal:

  1 install/reinstall Windows 10 mSATA SSD 120 GB and free 500 MB give or take for system reserved partition.

  2. use the remaining space in the C: drive.

  3. use WD Black 2.5 inch 750 GB HHD for cold storage

  4. Remove and reinstall the wireless card Intel Dual Band for a better Wi - Fi compatiability for most routers dual band out there. (Factory default, well, is not great to say the least)

  5. Remove and then install the crucial RAM (compatiable with L521x) is to upgrade memory of my laptop (maybe a little future-proof;) (D).

  Before you start the upgrade, I know I have to do the following steps:

  1. update my BIOS/UEFI. (I did it)

  2 clear accelerated Intel Rapid Start Technology (IRST) GUI (my laptop keeps inviting that "your system does not have any intel repaid with start technology").

  3. change Intel Smart response Technology (ISRT) to AHCI in BIOS

  4 back up my files

  5. my 10 Pro Activation of emergency Windows (how exactly? The Win10 Pro is upgraded to Windows Pro 8.1 with OEM Dell)

  Now my question is what I do or what I've been missing so that what I will meet errors or problems if possible.

  Also, I have heard or seen something on the OEM of Windows version. If I change the hardware, disk files or recovering backup activation does not recognize my device. Is this true? If necessary, I can buy a new version of Win10 Pro retail. But, what I really need to do, and does it perform a not-so-complicated work around?

  Thank you very much

  Dean

  If you keep your motherboard you have no problem taking the other components such as SSDS.

  Your system is already a Pro 10 Windows device.

  Installing clean with 10 Windows installation media Pro TH2 your OEM Pro 8.1 Windows key will be automatically entered to the UEFI BIOS and Windows 10 Pro TH2 automatically reactivates when your systems online.

• Clean install of Windows 7 Professional on a new ssd.

  I intend to buy an ssd. my pc was originally run under windows vista and I had him upgraded to windows 7 Professional. is it possible to do a clean install of my windows 7 Professional on the new ssd? If so, how? and Microsoft will allow this? It's always the same pc.

  If you have a win7 upgrade version, you must install the earlier version of the victory first then move to win7.

  If your version of Vista was preinstalled by the PC manufacturer you pourriez have encountered problems with your recovery disc for the ssd.

  Personally I would not buy a smaller than 256 GB ssd

  Depending on the size of your current C drive, it might be better advised to clone the SSD using a third party, software of imagery of the installation, for example Acronis TI, as she has more options than the buit in win7 imaging tool
