  Hello!

  I want to change my HDD in Toshiba Portege R700 to SSD. How to install Windows 7 on this new SSD? I don't have any Windows installation disc.

  Or that it will be possible to move the partition of the old HDD to new SSD (using Acronis, I could move the partition on the new HARD drive)?

  I've heard of partition offset and this SSD block should be the same as FAT cluster (the same alignment).

  All advice? (I know should I defragment my HARD drive before moving :))

  Hey Buddy,

  > I do not have any Windows installation disc.
  Create the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the manual of the user before you exchange the disc, then you have a Setup disk. The Toshiba recovery disc will restore parameters of the box with all the drivers and tools. It can be used on each disc and how many times you want.

  After this change the drive and start the Toshiba recovery disc. Follow the instructions on the screen and everything will be installed.

  Check this box!

  Hello:

  I agree with your statements 1-5, with the amendment that there is only the W7 x 64 drivers for your laptop on its support page and driver, since HP only supports consumption patterns for the BONES of public windows into force at the time of the laptop (now Windows 8).

  Therefore, based on the hardware in your PC, I recommend you to use the W7 x 64 drivers and software for this model instead.

  DO NOT USE ALL DOWNLOADS OF BIOS OR FIRMWARE FROM THIS LINK

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=5274535#N608

  Now, I love the idea of installing on a separate HARD drive and returning the original disc if you want to sell the laptop, or simply go back to the use of W8.

  I think that if you went into the BIOS and returns settings to their default values and close the notebook before reinstalling the original drive, it should work perfectly.

  If you do not change the BIOS to their default settings before installing the original drive, I tend to accept that he cannot start.

  You cannot change all settings for the storage controller BIOS in your laptop.

  I think with the models with these caches ssd, is by default the RAID BIOS.

  If you use a Windows 7 installation disc or an ISO file that does not have SP1 media refresh, then Yes, you probably have to load a sata driver.

  Here's how to confirm that your speed controller is set to (AHCI or RAID).

  The simple way to check if your laptop drive controller is set to AHCI or RAID (it will be one of the two), is to do the following.

  To check if the drive is set to AHCI, go to Device Manager. Look at the categories of device.

  If the laptop is AHCI, there will be a category of devices IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.  Click to expand this category and you will see the name of the controller sata which are listed there.  For the chipset of your model, you should see that an Intel (r) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller listed.

  If your laptop drive controller is set to RAID, look further down the list of device category, and you'll see a category of storage controllers. Click to expand that, and if your laptop drive controller is set to RAID, you should see a controller Intel (r) Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID.

  Here is how you can determine which mode the inverter of your laptop SATA is configured for.

  Here is the link to the sata drivers, you may need... You want to download the first file listed for W7 x 64

  https://downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=23060&Keyword=Intel+Rapid+Storage+Technology+(Intel+RST) & lang = fra

  So here's how to install the driver...

  Extract the files downloaded on a USB key.

  With the flash player and the installation of W7 media connected to the computer, boot from the installation of W7 media.

  After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

  You should now see the storage driver files listed.

  If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

  Follow the prompts and should install W7.

• It does not start after you install windows 7 on an SSD without going into the bios and clicking on the reader.

  Will change the bios fix it?  If yes how?

  CharlesR salvation,

  This concern is usually caused by an incorrect configuration of the BIOS of your device settings. If you have recently installed Windows 7, then most likely the boot priority is always set to the optical drive or USB (depending on which you have used in the installation of Windows 7).

  The BIOS settings are dependent on the manufacturer of your device, this is why we invite you to contact the manufacturer of your device for assistance by changing its settings.

  Kind regards

• Install Windows 8 on the SSD drive?

  Bought a T7910 precision renovated with two 4 TB hard disks and a 512 GB SSD. For some reason, the computer has been configured with the operating system on one of the hard drives. I want to install my OS and apps on the SSD, but the installation CD Windows 8.1 won't let me. It says I need something or other instead of the MBR something or other who has detected an EFI.

  So, what is needed to do a clean install of the operating system Windows 8.1 on my SSD?

  ONLY if you install 8.1 Windows 64-bit:

  Remove the HARD drive. Starting installation of F2 and verify the boot mode - is UEFI or legacy? When you have installed, there were all the existing partitions? If so, remove them.

  It would also be useful to know the EXACT messages you get.

• HP Pavilion p6 - 2176 s: install Windows 7 on SSD without disc

  Hello

  I want to install Windows 7 on an SSD (I plan on getting a Samsung 850 Evo 128 GB) but I can't get one any file or installation disk. My PC did not come with a disk, only a code produced on the case. I went to the site of software recovery of Microsoft and typed code, but he told me that the product was not supported, as it was an OEM copy. I could try to create a restoration disk using the recovery on my main hard drive partition, but I heard the average success rate that was weak. Any suggestions on how to get the OS on the SSD drive? I have a 16GB Flash Drive if necessary void.

  Yes it is a way to do it.

  If your hard drive still has the partition recovery on it, you can use the feature of factory restore from the Recovery Manager which will effectively drive to the same state that when you got the computer.  Coaurse, there will be a lot of bloatware which you could uninstall before cloning.

  If the recovery partition does not work and you have not created discs recovery when you got the computer, you can order them from HP.

  If you live in the USA/Canada, call this number...  1-800-334-5144.

  If you do not live in the USA/Canada, call the support number HP business PC for the country where you live.

• Is it possible and allowed to install Windows XP on a 8 GB SSD?

  original title: Windows XP on 8 GB SSD

  Hello guys!

  May I ask if it's OK to install Windows XP on an SSD 8gig?

  I am currently using windows 7. My problem is that I don't get 100 + MB of free space! And I can't install Microsoft Office because I don't have a lot of space left... So I intend to switch to XP.

  Are there problems with regrads to Win XP on SSD performance?

  I need answers please! They will be very appreciated! Thank you!!!

  PS: I'm using an Acer Aspire One netbook. Processor Intel Atom N270 @1. 66. GHz 1 G RAM.

  I am EXTREMELY surprised that you even could install 7 on an 8 GB SSD. My C:\Windows folder is 9.2 GB on its own.

• Adding an SSD as a boot drive - how to install Windows Vista Start

  To speed up my new e9105z, I bought a new 80 GB Intel X - 25 M to reduce disk latency and complete the 640GO HARD drive came with my computer.

  Drive has been installed successfully, recognized by the PC and formatted with the Windows Vista Disk Manager tool.  When I use the BIOS tool to set the Intel SSD as my boot drive, it says that some files of startup is missing, and I come to on the HARD disk as the startup disk.

  Bottom line: how to install Windows Vista on the SSD and configure it to start?  Did I lose my classic HDD data in the process?

  Thank you

  Here is where I am/measures taken.  HP of course makes this difficult process:

  (1) used the CD Creator to make a backup.  (Note that the CD - R does not work with the e9105z software.  Do only DVD-R).  (I tried the system HARD disk recovery image.  He simply reinstalled itself on the HARD disk.)

  (2) the value of Vista installed on the SSD via backup DVDs.  System starts beautifully with SSD.  Hooray! I was about to declare mission accomplished, then...

  (3) Reconnected my HDD SATA cable, she failed to be the startup disk.

  (4) I used disk management to reformat the HARD drive to erase its boot sector.  It is always default to the HARD disk, which is more a Vista on it.  Now, I must go into the BIOS and choose the Intel SSD as boot drive whenever I turn on manually.

  Any idea on what needs to be done to configure the BIOS to finally settle the SSD as my boot drive?  The backup system image is still on the old hard drive.  Could that be throwing?

  The SSD speed is great, but the 6 + hours spent on Vista reinstall, reinstall and reinstall throughout this trial and error process made a royal PITA to do.  It seems that HP didn't consider that whether by adding a second drive that is bootable.

  Thank you

  millergd

  You should be able to select the startup disk in the BIOS.  Restoring image shouldn't be a factor.  If the BIOS settings do not work, I would swap the connectors between the readers.

  Good luck

• switching with SSD hard drive and install windows 8.1

  Hello

  I plan to buy a SSD Samsung 850 pro / evo (if you recommend to stick to a 840 please let me know)

  I have an alienware r4 bought in September 2014 I got with a normal 3 TB hard I now want to change just a storage disk and install a SSD drive with windows on it.

  I have reinstall windows 8.1 once before because of a problem before so im not new and understand the basic. But when even assume I don't know incase I missed a step, or something that should have been done.

  I also understand that the key of windows remains on computers that have a UEFI boot mode. If this correct?

  Are there any special steps I need to do to install an SSD

  I've also heard when to reinstall windows on your computer, that you need something with you mother of the Council which has not made when I first did a reinstall of windows on my computer. But it's a clean install of windows. I don't know what - this 'clean installing windows"and if it is not necessary to then please let me know.

  All I really want to do is to install windows on a card SSD to speed up performance without having to buy a new cd and would like to know if the pilot that were usually recommended for my computer will work as it should be, or do I install something different since im put an ssd card into my bench.

  Thank you

  The 850 is a great player, and if he is not a big price difference I recommend plus the 840.  Your plan to start SSD sounds good.  As long as you are using the Dell recovery disk, you won't need another Windows key.

  In some cases, you will need to opt for the SATA AHCI mode to do a clean install.  FYI, a clean install is the one who clears all data from the disk of destination.

  However, Samsung provides a free clone app (available on their website) that you can use to migrate your current installation to the new drive without all the trouble of a new facility.

• Installed Windows 7. Windows will not be updated.

  Hello

  Long story short I'm install Windows on my new SSD. everything went to the wonder. Anti-virus software installed, all saved and updated all existing programs currently.

  So, I'm going to update windows. Keep checking for screen updates loading. I leave all night. always the same in the morning. I tried a number of things, including the Microsoft fixit program, install Windows Update standalone (two different versions published by microsoft), and windows diagnostic update.

  When I use Windows Update Diognostic, he says:

  Found promblems

  Windows Update error 0x8024402c(2016-06-23-T-12_02_41P) not fixed

  Other issues that have been resolved.

  I ran the Diognostic again to retrieve detailed information, but he came to the top has set. update still does not.

  You might look into this it's the new way to update after a clean install.

  https://blogs.technet.Microsoft.com/windowsitpro/2016/05/17/simplifying-updates-for-Windows-7-and-8-1/

  It is expected by M$, we must now jump through hoops to clean install.

  It is older but still works,

• The time machine shaped my result of ssd unable to check my key when installing windows?

  Brief summary:

  My machine: Macbook pro mid 2012
  What I have: Samsung Evo SSD, optical Bay caddy, 8.1 windows bootable dvd with serial
  I wanted to do: install windows in my second internal SSD (optical Bay)
  What went wrong: Enter key I get: "we could not verify the product key. Please check your installation media. »

  I suspect that the problem is: I have formatted by mistake the SSD mac front.

  Question: Has been put in shape my SSD the cause of the problem? and if yes how can I do to reset?

  Detailed long version

  I have a macbook mid 2012 retina not pro that I wanted to have the option to be able to boot from a windows and a mac. As a result, I bought a samsung EVO solid state drive for this purpose. I decided to try the drive and put it in instead of the optical drive caddy the day I got it. I was invited with the message that the mac was unable to acknowledge it and follow a few steps online to format. I would find it later when we look at a forum that I should have left the unformatted SSD. However, I tried to install windows on the EVO by placing the optical drive in the computer, put the EVO in the main Bay. I put the windows cd in and followed the installation. Everything was good until I had to put in the windows key. I put in and received the message "we could not verify the product key. Please check your installation media. "I double checked to see if it was right by voluntarily entering a wrong key he gave me a message that the key was invalid. Snooping around, I tried to reset the drive by using the offer of advanced tools and I was told that windows did not have access to the partition or something of the sort.

  A format the drive of the source of the error and if so is it possible to return to the factory settings?

  All the advice/help is greatly appreciated! Thank you very much!

  The formatting SSD is not related to the issue with the product key. Windows Setup reformats the SSD in the main Bay NTFS still. If the SSD is less than 2 TB, you can format the MBR with attempts as well as FAT32 format.

  Your model is compatible with the installation from DVD and USB, both. You can also download the ISO of Microsoft W8.1 to the https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8ISO to ensure that your DVD is not a several bits (32-bit and 64-bit DVD).

• Can I install Windows 10 on external USB SSD?

  Is it possible to install Windows (10) on a 3.0 SSD external? Bootcamp will allow me to select an external USB disk for installation of windows? I can't check myself right now because im currently waiting on a new SSD in the mail. It is possible, if difficult how is it?

  Thank you all

  Manager licensing Windows supports external drives under Windows Enterprise using Windows-to-Go. You can use a third-party software like Winclone or CampTune Clonezilla to move an image.

  Depending on the connection to the external drive, it may or may not work.

• Install windows on mac pro (early 2008) in other SSDS with RAID card

  Guys, good evening to all the same time.

  I get out of this crazy short, I ask humbly help.

  I explain my problem:

  I have a Mac Pro (early 2008), with RAID CARD MEDIA

  He does not then I "gave" to my mother who must use windows for work.

  I'm out all 4 disks in RAID installed and mounted 2 - SSD OCZ Agility 256 GB.

  one of them is installed OSX Yosemite. on the other hand, I want to install WINDOWS.

  and here the problems begin:

  When I insert the win8.1 to proceed installation standard dvd (EFI not talked since the beginning of 2008), I get, when I have to decide on which disk to install and format windows, does not reveal the installed drives

  After 2 days of tweaking, I was able to understand that this is a problem due to the RAID card installed, I also read that you just remove it and connect the SSD in one of the two doors empty ODDsata (and not in the 4 planned the raid card slots)

  but still does not see the attached HDD / SSD, so keep trying and I think it's a driver problem and I need to install the AHCI driver, now, I'm pretty Nerd, but I still can't get.

  Someone could want explain step by step what I need to do to install this * win on MacPro 8.1 designed for RAID card?

  Thank you so much in advance.

• HP Stream 13: How could I install Windows 10 on HP Stream 13 (32 GB SSD)

  I wanted to install windows on my Stream 13 (only 32 GB SSD) 10. With the recovery partition and windows plus 8.1 all updates, I was left with not enough space to install Windows 10.  After a few failures, I could do this job and this is how.

  My solution to the problem. This does not mean that an easier can turn up, but it's the only thing that worked for me.

  * Compleate a soft recovery to create under the proper name of a facility as posible

  * Install all updates

  * use the media creation tool to create a USB key for installation.

  https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows10

  * On another USB port, I created a copy of the system recovery (because my goal was to remove the recovery partition after installing windows 10 and save some much needed space)

  * Click on the installation program on the USB port of the media creation tool (won't start him this time and run a complete installation or windows will not recognize your key to 8.1). Follow the instructions for updating your pc.

  *Somewhere here they told me that I didn't have enough space on my computer but gave a possibility to select an additional disk or USB to compleate the upgrade. I used my microSD but had the ability to use a USB key as well.  Just plug one with enough space, refresh and select the one you want.

  * Once done I was running an enhanced version of windows 10. and everything was fine.

  Now, at this point my hardware was recognized for Windows 10 and I can reinstall everything that I want.

  * Personally at this point I didn't paertition of 8 recovery of windows 7 GB just sitting there.

  * I now ran the key USB made by the authoring tool of media to run a full clean install Windows 10. During this process, I was able to format the C: drive and but also the partition recovery (but not remove it yet) there are a lot of youtube videos on how to run this clean install with step by step help.

  * Once windows 10 was upward, I used DISKPART to delete the recovery partition and then went back in to disk management to extend the primary partition to fill the empty space on the SSD.  There are still a lot of great videos and messages on how to run disk management and DISKPART. Sounds rough but was very simple and very fast.

  * Finally ran all updates and followed a little HP guide on how to make sure you have all the correct drivers GP and go on a Clean install. near the bottom, you will see measures to be taken after the upgrade to windows 10

  * Now, DON'T WASTE this recovery USB you tool fact because that can always get back you to the factory settings.

  http://h20565.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.Oid=5071171 & docid = emr_na-c04734799 & docLocale...

  Sorry if this is not clear, but when I tried to make it work, I could nto find anything with the measures to be taken and I ended up having to use USB recovery system I did over and over again to start over.

  EDIT: I'm HP 13 Stream that came with 8.1 have things hard drive is not large enough to compleate the upgrade to windows 10. So I preformed a clean install to a USB port.  Now, I have 10 and it is not enabled.

  NOW, I've read that you MUSST preform the upgrade first, so that windows detects your hardware and list it as valis for windows free 10.   BUT given that the upgrade was not posible I have a key windows 8.1 which is useless since there is no service to change the key of a key of windows 10...   This is crazy. These laptops are in advertisd with the free upgrade to windows 10 but fail to be upgraded.  Don't know what to do now.

  I'm running a new touchscreen HP 13 stream with windows 8.1

  I want to upgrade to windows 10 before I got home (before that I have to install all kinds of software and files) Obciously the flow isn't enough SSD remains to perform the upgrade.  I created a new USB thumb drive installation but worry about its use.

  What I read the recovery partition which is not suppressible contains files that accesses the system. When I do a clean install, wipe the C drive (but not the partition) everything works? I will never lose the use of this space in the partition?

  and finally, I used a program access to my windows key since it is located in the bios, not on a label, but I would like to know if someone else did and it does automatically detect? or they have run any potential problems.  Sorry if this is posted elsewhere, but I don't find any information at all.

  EDIT!   I have a USB recovery that I can use if I have to for windows 8.1 I installed 10 from a USB Pendrive and it is another well workign now is say my KEY is invalid for this clean install. How to convert my 8.1 key a key that works for 10? I can't buy a new key from microsoft when the laptop was sold with an ad saying free updated for 10.   It is not posible to do an upgrade due to the space required for the upgrade to do its job. It is a real pain.

  Well, looks as if I found a solution to the problem. Posted all the above in an editing tool. Hope this helps someone
