• How to install the new hard drive and windows key?

  Hello

  I have a aspire v5-121-c72g32nkk.
  I have just updated to Windows 10, don't panic, but I want to upgrade my HD drive to a SSD drive.

  You can find the steps to do this?
  Windows was preinstalled, how I reinstall on another drive?
  I have no serial key or whatever it is.
  I'm a bit lost, you have an idea?

  Best,

  There are several ways to do this, anyone have product keys, since

  If you want to do a clean install:

  Windows 7-8 - 8.1 keys are embeeded on your BIOS

  Windows 10 use a generic key during the upgrade, so just skip the steps questions about a product key and the first time you connect on the web, it will authenticate to.

  You must decide:

  (1) do a clean install of your operating system to factory

  (2) make a disk - image of the system image and reload

  (3) to do a clean install of windows 10

  option 2 is the fastest at the end, as you create a copy of your HARD drive and reload it to your PC.

  you need a bootable windows 10 (USB or DVD) media and little space on external HARD drive.

• Having trouble installing new drivers after installing a new hard drive and Windows Vista.

  I just installed a new hard drive on my computer of dell inspiron 1525. I managed to do it and it worked. I had a disc from dell to reinstall windows vista edition Home premium 32-bit and had drivers and utilities dvd. However I couldn't connect to the internet. I understand I'm missing some drivers but I rebooted the computer, but it goes to the black screen asking you to start in safe mode, safe mode with network, normally and something else. But after trying all of them, it goes straight to this same screen. What can I do? Or I can clear the new hard drive and start over? Any ideas?

• Install a new hard drive and Windows 7 loading no settings are changed on the mother board or bios installation? :

  I have a desktop Dell-540 in which my c drive is a Raid 1 configuration of 1 TB (two disks to not up to 1 TB, Raid 0, which is the backup) which has all my programs and data.  I have a 2nd J: 1 TB (single drive - no raid) drive that I use as my back in-house to my drive c.

  I am running in all genres or the problems of Windows 7 as well as running out of space so I would install a new 2 TB drive as new drive c and re - install windows 7 for a clean install on a single partition.  I intend to disconnect my current c drive (which consists of my two disks in a raid 1 configuration) as well as to disconnect the 1 TB drive unique j and connect my new 2 TB drive.  I would like to install a clean version of windows 7.  So my question is this:

  If I disconnect all the old disks (c and J) and install a new one and start to load windows 7 on it, the new facility does affect the bios or motherboard settings?

  f for some reason so I have encounter problems, can I just unplug my new drive of 2 TB and re - connect my original c drive and drive j back to the motherboard and have it load up as it was before original, I unplugged my old PC would be back up and runing?  Or, install Windows 7 on a new drive change the settings of the motherboard or bios Setup that would prevent me to connect to any return to as it was before I started?

  In fact, raid 0 is striated, which means that two readers work as something one 1 TB raid 0 disk is made from two 500 GB drives. RAID 1 is mirrored, meaning that you would have two 1 TB drives each of which is one exact copy of the other. Replacing your hard drive and perform a clean installation of Windows 7 will not change your bios settings. You will need to enter the bios and change the configuration of the training of raid 0 or 1 for sata before install Windows on the new drive. To return to your original configuration and the hard disks, you will need to enter the bios and re - configure the hard drives in the raid 0 array or 1, whatever one you had.

• replacing the hard drive and windows 8

  just yesterday bought a hp laptop model #20002b19wm.

  This laptop came preloaded with windows 8.

  I think with windows 8, microsoft puts more COST on the machines themselves.

  My question is this, say the hard drive breaks down and I need to replace it, I'll have to go out and buy another copy of windows 8? I read that the 8 victory is only good for your ' current configuration at the time of the "as its related to the form of machines, etc..

  and where is my product key? hidden in the bios somewhere?

  I have to buy my hard drive from hp directly? I read here that if you try to put any hard drive laptop in these machines, you can not install windows because the new drive does not have the "Recovery" partition

  I'm pretty good with computers, and finally, I want to put a hard drive in this machine more. I hope someone out there can help.

  We hope to hear from someone.

  Hello

  Windows 8 machines come with the activation key encrypted in the bios chip, but you can always use a utility such as the one on the link below to read into the operating system.

  http://www.Belarc.com/free_download.html

  If you create your recovery media set - see link below - you can use this to reinstall Windows 8 on another drive (it will also recreate the recovery on the new HARD drive Partition).

  Create recovery media - Windows 8.

  You are in no way limited to a given provider or a hard drive manufacturer.

• Replacing hard drive and Windows 7 has been installed now can not activate

  Original title: WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE
  
  Had to replace the hard drive on my desktop. A Windows Vista. Came back with Windows 7 Ultimate installed. Now I can't turn it on. As of just put Windows Vista on.

  Hello

  Here are the different methods to reinstall Vista. You cannot use the recovery Partition method because it should be replaced by the installation of Windows 7...

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Upgrade Vista to Windows 7, files using the second internal hard drive and Windows Easy Transfer.

  I have a desktop pc with 2 internal hard drives.  A hard drive has the BONE and the second hard disk is a separate partition.  (I do not combine hard drives using RAID.)  If I upgrade Vista to Windows 7, the upgrade will be to reformat hard disks or just a hard drive with the operating system?  Should I remove the second hard disk of the computer just to be sure?  The second hard drive must be reformatted for use with Windows 7?

  Thank you.

  You must install the upgrade in the Vista operating system.

• No Internet after the new hard drive and Windows 7 Clean reinstall

  I have a Dell Studio XPS 9100 I bought in 2011.

  The Seagate Barracuda SATA 1 TB hard drive died, and I replaced it with a Seagate Barracuda 2 TB drive. The re - install Windows 7 went ok, but I couldn't connect to the net.

  A ran the device driver and got errors on the network card and the RAID.

  I went on the site of Dell for the 9100 and installed the drivers for the adapter and the RAID.

  No luck. I always get the error "no card" as well as the error 'no cable not connected.

  I read a lot of posts about this problem and am stuck.

  Someone has an idea how I can fix this once and for all and go on the internet?

• Can I format HARD drive and reinstall Windows 7 on the Qosmio F60 without CD

  I think my hard drive is faulty on my F60 Quosmio so I want to reformat the hard drive to see if that will fix it. But I don't have the original packaging and the information with me at the moment so I don't know if it came with a windows 7 CD or not. Whatever it is, I don't have the CD.

  I found on the net that most manufacturer who deliver without CD include a "recovery partition" or "factory image partition" which you can access during startup. Anyone know if the F60 Quosmio comes with a CD or if she has this recovery partition or partition image factory? Or do you know if there is a way I can check if my computer is it?

  If you have more information about the formatting of the hard drive and reinstall windows 7 without the CD please let me know.

  Thank you.

  The laptop came with a Windows disc, because there is a Toshiba recovery disc Creator called tool which create the recovery disk.

  The recovery partition was available and it allows you to recover the laptop without the use of the recovery disk, but it does not work if the HARD drive has failed.

  Here's a nice HowTo on HARD drive recovery
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  So, if you n t have a recovery disc and can not recovery Notepad using HARD drive recovery, then you have two options:
  -You will order a new recovery disk
  -You must install Windows operating system using a disc of Microsoft

• Windows 10 on pc itunes is on pc but my CD is on an external hard drive and I want to keep them there, but how can I get itunes to use does them everyone please have a fool proof statement

  I need to download iTunes to use my CD which is on an external hard drive and would like to keep on it. Please can someone tell me just how to do this

  My advice make a library of portable split is a general guide, but as such, it has all sorts of details that you may not need.

  I guess you have previously installed iTunes such as library files were in the usual place of C:\Users\ < user > \Music\iTunes but the media were on an external drive, for example in X:\ < Media folder >, and no longer have access to the old library, or are perhaps new to iTunes, then so be it you will need to start over again. If, then hold down the SHIFT key when you launch iTunes. Keep now until you see a prompt to create or choose a library. Click on create and make a new library at the root of the external drive, i.e. as X:\iTunes , where X is the drive letter of the external drive. Once this operation is complete, use Windows Explorer to move the existing media folder within the X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, rename the folder that you moved as say other media to avoid any possible confusion in the future, select the menu with Ctrl + B bar and use file > add folder to library, to import the file to other media in the library. Will everything that iTunes adds to the library be shuffled around. All that remains in the other media will be happy that iTunes does not know what to do with such incompatible media or album art carried out by Windows Media Player. You can sift throigh this, take what you want and use replacements for all players what you keep.

  If you need me to explain it further, do not hesitate to ask.
