Help with a clean install of W7 upgrade DVD on SSD student.

A 32-bit Vista running, upgrading to 64 - bit by doing a clean install on another drive (SSD).  It works fine, except that the old man is still "System" drive and I can't start with the SSD as boot drive.  And when I boot the old disk I have the option to load Vista or W7.

I'm confused on what actually the upgrade disc.  Do I have some of the Vista on the SDS files to get W7 to install correctly - or is a new installation, a clean install?  I guess I'm looking at another facility (~ 6 hrs.) because I don't have my drive correctly partitition or something.

I've never had this problem before loading a new OS.  I don't know if it's the SSD, the upgrade method used or old age which is the cause of my problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to do a clean install of El Capitan on new ssd?

    I bought a new SSD to replace the SATA drive in my Macbook Pro for mid-2010. I am running Yosemite. What I want to do, is to do a clean install of El Capitan on the SSD. I also bought a pregnant and plan on the use of the old drive as an external backup.

    I need some advice: after installing the ssd in the MBP and the old drive in the box, I intend to plug the old drive for the MBP, format the SSD drive and then use a reader flash which I did the Setup file of El Capitan to a clean of El Capitan for the SSD install and then use the Migration Wizard to migrate applications and files from the old drive.

    Is there a better way? Maybe install the SSD in the enclosure first, connect to the MBP, then shaped and do cleaning installation of El Capitan?

    All advice is appreciated.

    installing the SSD in the pregnant first, connect to the MBP, then shaped and do clean install of El Capitan?

    It's better. Some of these Macs experience problems after surgery. The new installation using the outside doing will give you confidence that it works before surgery, and no problem introduced by surgery can be separated from issues of installation and update. It will install and run in an external, just may be a little slow.

  • El Capitan upgrade must be done with a clean install?

    Hello

    El Capitan upgrade should be done with a clean installation, as opposed to an upgrade?

    I don't know how to do this, or what are the advantages and disadvantages?

    This means all the software on my computer is deleted and I need to re - install all the applications (if installing a clean)?   I think not so thought I had better ask!

  • Synchronization problems with the clean install

    Hello.

    Is it possible to push the content of my iPhone to my computer? (and not the other way around)

    Recently, I did a clean install on my Mac Pro and trying to get everything in working order. I got a load of music and voice notes on my iPhone that I don't want to lose, but the only way iTunes will allow me to manage the content of my phone is erasing all the content on my phone to sync to the 'new' library

    Help, please!

    Thank you

    A new installation of the operating system shouldn't have deleted personal data files unless you want to say that you have done more than a "clean install". You do not install the data files.  Looks like that erase you the iTunes library file and it was a big mistake because it is towards this specific copy of the file iTunes Library.itl that tries to sync your phone.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not that a transfer backup device and media has been planned with you keep a master copy of your media on a computer that is in itself independently supported against loss.  To use a device with a different configuration, you pass the old library from a computer or a backup directly in the new configuration, not the device to the library. Synchronization of media isn't a way, computer device, update the contents of the device to the content on the computer, update or restore the content on a computer from a device. The exception is media to iTunes Store purchases that can be transferred to a computer.

    Re-download or transfer your purchases iTunes Store for the iPhone, iPad or iPod to computer - https://support.apple.com/HT201267 - 'this feature only works for content purchased from the iTunes Store. From iOS9 is more apps that now need to be re-downloaded directly from the store.

    To transfer other items from an i-device to a computer, you will need to use third-party commercial software.  See this document in turingtest2: recover your iTunes library from your iPod or device iOS - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 even this method can fully recover what you originally had in the library. For example, in order to save space during synchronization if you had converted music files at a lower rate, or photos at a lower resolution, it is these lower quality files that will pick you up.

    If you subscribe to the Apple music, titles that are not part of the content that you have purchased or downloaded may not be transferred and must be downloaded directly from iCloud.

Just insert the windows 7 dvd, and then format and install the operating system... and when the operating system is installed... Insert the toshiba upgrade dvd and install the driver.

  • Please specify: can I make Windows 7 ultimate (64 bit) to Windows 8 Pro (64 bit) for $40 with a clean install?

    Hiya!

    Looking to upgrade, but I don't want to upgrade in the usual way. I want a clean install.

    I don't want to format the HARD drive and install from scratch. I might even want to buy a SSD and install Windows 8 on my new SSD.

    Basically, is there a way to only pay $40, but get to install it properly?

    Is this ok? He's trying to force me to buy the OEM version?

    How does it work?

    Oh, also, I'm in England so I'll use the UK (£25) version rather than the American version, but it's the same I think.

    I was wondering if it will not work properly or if I have to buy the OEM version, because it does not recognize that I have had Windows 7 originally.

    See you soon!

    Select keep anything during installation is to do a clean install:

    Besides being able to keep your Windows settings and personal files, you can keep your personal files too during the upgrade to Windows 7. If you choose No, Windows 8 place your files in a folder named Windows.old. You can delete the Windows.old folder

    How to reinstall Windows 8

    You have two options:

    If you want to reinstall Windows 8, which means remove applications and personal files and settings, you can use the reset and refresh. This is equivalent to a clean install.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    · Press the Windows key + i on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

    · Click settings

    · Click change PC settings

    · Click general in the left column

    · In virtue remove all and reinstall Windows, click Start

    Then follow instructions that will be provided on the screen to reinstall Windows on your PC.

    Option 2:

    If you create an installation DVD or a USB bootable, you can use them to reinstall Windows. First, you will need to reinstall license qualification, then begin the upgrade to Windows 8. License of qualification means that you will need to reinstall Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.

    Option 3:

    A workaround for this situation is to create a system image of Windows 8, just after you have upgraded. So if your drive plant, you can simply restore the image on a new hard drive or restore the image on the same drive, if you want to reinstall Windos 8.

    See the following for instructions on how to create an image of the installation process of Windows 8:

    A word on terminology - an important point. You're not building
    a new processor. It is not possible. What you build is a new
    computer.

    "CPU" means "Central processing unit". In modern furniture
    computers, the CPU is a relatively small chip, one
    integrated circuit. It is on the motherboard inside the computer
    case. It is not the case itself, or the entire computer, which
    includes the case and what it contains.

    I don't know how incorrect practice began the appeal of the whole
    the "processor" of the computer, but here's my guess: when you buy a computer, you
    normally get the deal and what is in it, with a monitor,
    keyboard, mouse and perhaps a printer. All of these devices
    connect to the ports on the case. Because everything connects to the case,
    the case is "Central" to everything, and the term "Central."
    Processing unit"is sometimes badly understood and poorly applied to it.

    Yes, in this case, I understand what you mean even if you used
    the bad word. But depending on the situation, using the word
    wrong in the future, especially if you have questions, may
    confuse those who read your message and you get the wrong information.
    This is why it is important that you understand what is a CPU.

    and use a motherboard (ASUS Sabertooth) with suitable for nvme updated bios and a version of nvme 750 Intel SSD. I'll do a clean install on win7 system and do not know with certainty how (will install process, download the appropriate drivers) to get the necessary drivers.

    You should get the drivers on the web sites of the material
    Reference of the manufacturer - in this case, ASUS.

  • Try to do a clean install of Windows 7 to new SSD, would like to know if I can use the same product key.

    Original title: re-install Windows 7

    Hello. I recently built my own PC and installed a purchased copy of Windows 7 hard disk. I'm upgrading to an SSD 120 GB and I was wondering if there was a way completely erase my old hard drive for all files and all re - install windows using my CD key and product. I heard that once you use the product key, the copy of Windows is 'married' to this hard drive and the key cannot be used anywhere else. Is this true? Basically, I'm doing a clean install on this new SSD. Thank you.

    Not at all, you can erase and reinstall Windows as many times as you want as long as you have the product key.  The only restriction is that the key can be used only on one computer at a time.  Unless this key is used somewhere else, you can install a billion times.  The key is what you pay for, not the CD (in fact, if you lose the CD you can download another copy, but you need to keep your secret key).

    In any case, the process is simple: just put in the CD and restart and follow the steps to install.  When you get calls that lead to install on, you have options to format (erase) the drive and basically start over completely.

    The only real thing you need to know is that, after the installation, you will need to go to the computer manufacturer's website and download the drivers for your computer.  According to the computer, you may need to get the driver of network from another computer and copy it using a flash drive (if the network needs the driver before it can connect).

  • I upgraded to win7 starter to win7 pro with a clean install

    IM missing 3 drivers that the manufacturer of laptops would not give to me the notebook is an Acer ZE7 they told me that they have not recommend an upgrade to win7 pro. sounds really fishy to me I need to level 5 more portable win7 pro.

    Please help me with an answer as soon as POSSIBLE

    I suggest you to reinstall Windows 7 Starter and use Windows Anytime Upgrade to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. Personally, I can't find any information on this model. Anytime Upgrade will reduce the headache. Windows 7 Starter and professionals are based on the same kernel, so the same driver will work for 3 lack of pilots. Reinstall Windows 7 Starter using the tools of recovery of manufacturers.

    If the license for Windows 7 Professional, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Professional. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional on demand, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional your files, programs and settings retained.

  • Satellite C660 - need help with the fresh install of Win7

    After a problem with my 660 SatC, I decided to Nuke the hard drive and do a fresh install using a W7 32-bit disk created from the web (there is a free library of Windows 7 iso images (sorry I forgot name).)

    So I got the drive and the drive that has the drive, W7 is now saying that it can't find the device driver for the DVD drive it has been operating just to show him the first screen of W7.

    Looking for drivers for the DVD player but no joy on the web.

    Can someone help me please?

    Maybe stupid question on the start, but why you do not install original Win7 64-bit? I assume that you got your machine with preinstalled operating system.

    > If I had the drive and the drive that has the drive, W7 is now saying that it can't find the device driver for the DVD drive it has been operating just to show him the first screen of W7.
    Sorry, but after reading this sentence I m completely confused and do not know how to understand it. If you have created the bootable installation disk, I hope you were able to successfully install Win7. After the first boot, you continue to install all the necessary drivers, the tools and the utilities that you can find on the download page of Toshiba - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    Optical disc drive using Microsoft driver and there is no some special drivers for this device. It must be recognized automatically by the operating system preinstalled.

    My computer is so messed up! I'll tell you the whole story, please bear with me. OK, I came from work (16 years) and my father came to me and said, "your computer does not light, I have was to unplug the internet from behind." And of course, it does not. He would flash on and off very quickly every time, I pushed the power button. I solved this problem by discovering that when my father pulled the cord in the back, that one of the pimples on my motherboard popped to the motherboard touch the metal casing essentially shorting the motherboard, whenever I turned on. So I took everything out and put it back to find the power supply, I have currently failed now of all the short circuit or something because whenever I put in market system it would boot then restart and restart saying something anti-surge protector be activated because of a messed supply power. I went and bought a new and better. So, I solved this problem. Now a new problem happened, now I can't get past the windows loading screen as it freezes. So I reset CMOS to see, it did nothing. Then I tried to boot from the DVD, Windows 7 Home Premium only to find would be frozen when the (Windows Logo) orbs paths crossed 4 color. Then, I entered safe mode and was able to get the Windows 7 Installer and install showing. I went to remove my old partitians containing Windows 7 on my 60 GB SSD Intel Maple Crest 330. I would Setup then it and everything was fine until it has passed the first step and restarted the 'service' screen how it would freeze again. I then went in command promt and formatted my SSD to clear all. (Oh I also forgot to mention I tried Startup Repair tool, it did not work) I then tried to go back to the Windows install screen, but I couldn't get him no matter what I did. Windows will continue to freeze the orb scene that I mentioned above. Even on safe mode, I couldn't do it. I just built this PC 2 month with top of the line parts. I don't know why this is happening.

I tried to connect the CD/DVD writer in different SATA ports. I don't know what else to do! Please help, help, help! Thanks in advance!

    A short circuit on the motherboard off short circuit on the food, you're lucky if everything works as it should.

    Defective material, irrespective of the reasons why, will make it almost impossible to install Windows.

    I suggest to use the warranty of the manufacturer of your motherboard and get it replaced. Then you can start from scratch, make sure that when you pull the power plug, it does not have one of the motherboard standoffs come off accidentally.

    When you install the motherboard next, ensure that you set up correctly and to ensure that the case sides are mounted safely because they add a lot of integrity to the case, bending and causing the motherboard to get in touch with everything that it should not stop...
