How to install a preconfigured desktop inspiron 3650 hd?

My Dimension 9200 about 10 years just died of BSOD. Tried to diagnose the error codes. Abandoned and sent to a workshop. They tried with new ram, cards etc without success. They said faulty motherboard due to some burned / doesn't have a capacitor. Decided to get a new inspiron with a better OS and CPU.

Still waiting for the pc to arrive. Want to install the hd (vista) dimension as a 2nd hd on my Inspiron. I can't get the files I want.

I would like if possible, find out how. Plugin just the old hd on the motherboard?

My old hd a C and D drives.

Thank you

Assuming that the old HDD is a SATA drive, you should be able to plug into a SATA port that is not used on the new PC.

Do not expect to start from the old HDD.  And no matter what program you used previously should be installed in Windows on the new PC. You will not be able to run any software that sits on the old HARD drive.

All you will be able to do is to access your personal files on the old drive. You can copy them to the HARD drive that comes in the new PC, or use the old HDD for extra storage or backup copies of the files on the new disk.

  • Advice needed on the desktop Inspiron 3650

    Hello world

    I need to buy a new desktop computer and I had a look at the new Inspiron 3650.

    It is in my budget and seems to have pretty decent specifications for what I need, I'd go for the model i3 with 8 GB of RAM at £349. I would like to know if this would be good for the upgrade in the near future. I would like to add a graphics card dedicated, a pretty cheap, less than 70 pounds, nothing complicated and maybe upgrade the processor at any given time. Do you think that this office would be appropriate?

    I mainly use for browsing web, web design and development work so I'll use things like dreamweaver, photoshop, etc., maybe some video basic editing as well, I don't use it for games. My budget is only £450, but I might go to 500 books to a boost if you can recommend anything else, so it comes with a monitor.

    Thank you.

  • How to install .jad with Desktop file manager

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how can I install .jad with Desktop Manager file? I have a file .jad and .jar with me but I want to install it in peripheral strom by using the Desktop Manager. Please suggest me the steps.

    Thank you

    TEJ

    You could have found this link for yourself.

    For example, if you search for this card by using the key words "jar" and "cod", you will find that the first post from the list actually references the zany article reported you to.  In addition, if you had searched the KB with the keyword 'pot', you will find the same article on the first page.  If you are looking for the forum and KB yourself you will obtain the result faster and like me and wacky people have more time to answer real questions.

    So you look for yourself next time?  Please, I beg you.

  • How to install the SSD for Inspiron 14 3452?

    Hello - I think I'm over my head here. I just bought the laptop 3452 Inspiron 14 model with 32GB of HDD MEM. I opened the back of the box, thinking it would be relatively easy to install a SOLID-STATE drive. However, I see is an empty slot for the HARD disk with no pins for the SSD to enter. Don't know if there is anything else I need to open? I could not find instructional videos and am afraid to do great thing with this. Please help, of course I am a novice when it comes to these things. I already used a SSD drive as external storage solution, but wanted to install this time around within the laptop.

    Thank you in advance!

    I am amazed how little information there is on the web about this: I bought this machine for the use of the lamp from my laptop main goes through a process of repair.

    I saw this on the black that deals Friday for 160 taxes included and made the big jump... I thought: I will modernize the HARD drive with a 250 GB drive I have lying around and I bump the ram to 4 GB.

    To my surprise:

    There are 1... Yes a SINGLE SLOT of RAM. and there is an opening for the HARD drive but no cable. After further review, I came to the conclusion that it is indeed not possible or viable to improve the storage on this machine. Yes, I stripped the computer down to his mother, and it's like they took the entrails of a 10 windows Tablet and put them on a laptop cover.

    So, I had a few spare parts lying around and I got a 8 GB SO DIMM that I decided to try:

    Worse: the bios bump the RAM up to 4 GB as his as he goes.

    Best screenplay: the bios will recognize 8 gb.

    To my surprise it worked with the set of 8 gb... it is a great improvement, but not stellar.

    Here is something that you can do to make this laptop can be used:

    1 - get a 4 GB or 8 GB SO DIMM, (go with 8 If you don't care guarantee, those who are for losers anyway)

    2. - are subject to the creator of windows media (internet) and install a windows own 10. too much bloatware installed on this humble machine.

    3 - buy a card SD 64 and install apps in there.

    and there you go here! a laptop USD 160 with an upgrade of the 30 dollar DIMMs and one card 64 GB sd to work its magic.

    Hope this helps

    Best regards!

  • New Inspiron 3650 - how to add an SSD

    I recently got my new i7 Inspiron 3650 with a 2 TB HARD drive. I need to add an SSD to the machine and need advice on how to do it.

    First question is: is it possible for one SSD + HDD in this computer? Or is it limited to a single player?

    Open the case, I see that there are 4 units of SATA data cable (2 available) on the card mother, however there is no available additional power cable. The single power cable has two connectors, a session on the HARD drive and the other to the DVD player. How can I add another cable or splitter to route power to the SSD?

    In addition, there are available for a 2.5 drive bays ", but I need an enclosure for mounting the drive. Is there an add-on Dell blue plastic mounting kits available for this? Otherwise, I can get the generic Assembly for this kits.

    I would appreciate if any part numbers/accessories from Dell can be recommended to achieve this.

    Thank you.

    Hi Hkhawaja,

    Yes, you can certainly have an SSD and a HARD drive, and I suppose you want to put the OS on the SSD.

    This thread offers answers to some of your questions. And here is the link to your manual.

    I have a link below for a very nice Windows reinstallation guide, which will help you to download an ISO of 10 Windows you can use to install the OS on the new drive.

  • How to install Windows 7 on several desktop computers?

    I would like information about how to install Windows 7 on desktop sixteen I just built.

    I build them from scratch. I want to know how to install Windows 7 on them.

    What type of disc do I need to buy... Do I have to buy 16 disks in Windows 7... or is there a simpler solution?

    OK, I'll look into the full retail version. That means, correct me if I'm wrong, what with the commercial full version Windows, I can install it on all built I want, as many times I want, it just cannot be installed on multiple computers that is active.

    No, incorrect.

    Full version (retail):

    -a computer can only be reinstalled many times on the same computer.

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

    -a computer can only be reinstalled many times on the same computer.

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM System Builder version:

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    But, even once, correct me if I'm wrong, OEM, once the computer version dies, the OEM licenses dies with him, and I'll need to buy another license... Fix?

    Fix

    So my best bet would be to go with the full retail version of Windows 7?

    Depends on, which is why it is best to get full retail Windows 7, but they are difficult to obtain.

    What version of Windows 7 System Builder? I've never heard of this, but I see it at Walmart.com, etc..

    System Builder - aka OEM license.
