How to move Win7Pro from my HARD drive to a new SSD

I am running Windows 7 Professional on a desktop Dell 560. The software that I use for astroimaging involves math matrix on piles of large images (~ 30 MB each) in "battery" 8 to 20 images to resolve fine detail. Doing this on the existing HARD disk is tedious, with a deconvolution race take from 50 to 90 minutes with a profusion of disk read/write cycles. I want to change the operating system of a new SSD with the software. Is there a way to legitimately transfer the OS and other applications for the SSD? I'm guessing that copying simply of the C: existing to the SSD drive to prove unsuccessful.

Did he do that?
TIA

SSD of cloning:

You can clone the installation for the SSD, provided that the SSD is large enough to accommodate the installation to be cloned.

See http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-hdd-to-ssd-with-windows-7s-own-software or (easier) use a trial version of Acronis True Image Home 2012.

Note that, immediately after cloning, you must stop and unplug the original installation. The disc can be reconnected once the DSS started successfully.

  • How to copy data from one hard drive to another after the upgrade?

    I have a HP e9220y, and I recently bought a new hard drive for it. There is nothing wrong with the former, but this one has a 64 MB cache and 7200 RPM so I hope it will be a little faster. I installed it and it works fine, but I want to copy all data from the old disk to the new so I can start everything off the faster hard drive and I seem to have a bit of doing wrong. I can't just copy and paste because of the Windows system files that are used. And last night when I set up Windows backup, and went to bed, when I thought it that Windows has recovered from a stop unexpected, rebooted, and only 2 GB of data saved obtained.

    What is the best way to move all the data from the old drive to the new drive, make it the default C: drive and move partitions system and factory_image as well? Thank you!

    (1) If your old drive and the new drive is Seagate or Western Digital, then free House with their cloning software.

    (2) before starting the clone process, I found best to perform a disk cleanup and defragmentation.

    Cloning software to copy the two partitions. Example:

    Old drive 250 GB formatted to 232 C: created 220 and 12 GB D:

    New 1000GO drive formatted to 931 GB created 919 GB C: and D: to 12 GB

    The "Seagate disc Wizard" cloning software will let create you a clone automatic or manual partition resizing.

    The two modes to offer an overview of the actions before commit you. The manual on this page of Seagate (PDF) is 68 pages.

    After the cloning process he complete, all you have to do is swap on the disks. Besure to connect your new disc on the original motherboard SATA port.

  • How to recover files from my hard drive?

    I tried to upgrade windows 8.1 to 10, but something was wrong and I can't boot my laptop more. I have Samsung i5. Samsung has it s own recovery program, but impossible to locate all personal files from my hard drive (C:\user) s.

    The problem is - my accont is protected by word (with the microsoft account) how can I recover my files? They are also protected by Word? Can I access simply by making the copy of disc or I´ll to decrypt?

    It depends on if you have encryption enabled or not.  If you have the encryption on, then you will need a copy of your encryption key or the files will be locked forever.

    If you encrypt your files, you can recover the files simply by putting the hard drive on another computer and navigate on it as if it were a USB key (it's just a reader), you can even appropriating and re - set the permissions on the folder.

    Another option is to start by using any Windows install CD or USB.  At the prompt to install, skip it and press SHIFT + F10 to open a command prompt.  So to reach this player (the letter can be no C: in this mode) and use the command copy to copy the file to another disk or USB stick.

  • Where and how can I reinstall the external hard drive to the new HD to the computer?

    Original title: HD crashed.

    I want to thank the person who answered my question about the HD crashed I saved all my data and window xp. My next question is, how and where can I reinstall external hard drive for the new HD to the computer? Should I send it to drive c or where? I'm not strong when it comes to computers. I know just enough to get me in trouble. Thank you.

    Hello!

    You will need to use a full copy of Windows XP.  Should be a sticker with the product key on the side of your desk or below if it is a laptop.

    Once you have this drive, you can reinstall Windows XP.  After you have installed all the software and drivers, you will be able to transfer all your data to the new HARD drive.

    If you don't have a copy of Windows XP, you can probably get a copy of the recovery from the manufacturing of computer media.  Just to provide the model and serial number and they should sent it.

  • How to move files on external hard drive for Macbook Air (El Capitan)

    Hello.

    I bought a new macbook air last week. I've been moving files from my old laptop via my hard drive (my ultra 1 TB WD Passport). I was able to move the correct files on the drive, but now I want to move photos and videos to my Macbook, but it won't allow me. It shows a circle of gray with a line through it, when I try to drag the file on the disk. Photos and videos are in the documents in the finder not in the photo library, I don't know if that makes a difference.

    Any help will be really appreciated.

    Thank you

    Ann

    How did the external drive connected to the MBA? I guess that via USB? The freestanding photos/videos or are they in iPhoto or Photos?

  • How to transfer data from one hard drive to another?

    I don't know how and has been upgraded to a new hard drive...

    Hello

    Well, it may be quite simple, if you install the new OS in the new drive.

    Then you connect the older HARD drive, and you should be able to explore the contents of the HARD drive in windows and copy the data from the old disk to the new. Be careful with what is selected in the BIOS startup disk.

    But depends on the unit you have, because you might end up having several types of questions.

    You can also use any kind of external card, depends on the type of connection of HARD drive you have and for example, if its SATA, you can simply use a SATA to USB adapter.

    Let me know if this helped.

    Thank you

  • How to move photos to external hard drive with Photoshop Elements Organizer 9 - Mac user

    I managed to move a few pictures using the organizer of an external hard drive as a trial but has noticed that photos are all stored directly on the hard drive external and not kept in the subfolders they are on my hard drive. Is there a way to keep them in subfolders - which is in fact for most of the records showing the date they were taken.

    I also noticed that PES 9 organizing is very slow - I have a lot of pictures and a lot in the first - over 21000. Is it better to use them for LR catalog?

    Last question, everyone has experienced problems since the upgrade to the Mavericks when using PSE9? Is there a solution? I read that upgrade to Yosemite has improved the operation of PSE9, but after my previous experience with the upgrade to the Mavericks I'm not in a hurry to upgrade.

  • How to clone hard drive in a new ssd

    Looking to clone a Crucial SSD before removing the original internal HD.  What is the most effective way to clone and what equipment is required?

    You will need an external enclosure to put it and plug it in and you can use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone. It's free for 30 days. It is advisable to change the internal connecting cable while you have the HARD drive on but until you fit the SSD.

  • Possible to move the Pavilion DV5 hard drive to the newer model?

    Hello.

    I have a little old (but LARGE) laptop - DV5 - 1133ca (FS036UA@ABC) that has intermittent problems with the display.

    It blinks and goes sometimes totally blank.  Then I plug in an external monitor and continue to work.  A few days later, he can work or not.  Fix sometimes repositioning the screen slightly with the hinges.  I'm sure it's some sort of cable inside or something.

    In any CASE - due to time and complexity with the upgrade to a new laptop (reloading programs, etc.) and the daily use of it - I was wondering if it was possible to buy a new laptop HP OR a model slightly more recent HP Pavilion (IE. Dv6 and DV7 with a little more power) and simply swap my hard drive.

    I understand that I would have probably to update many of the drivers - but in general would that work?

    Y at - it or the particular models that I should consider to mitigate any possible problems?

    Is this a good solution?

  • Copy-move content from the C drive to a new larger disk? (space)

    I have Windows XP and other applications and data files on a hard drive a little lack of space and would like to copy on a larger drive (500 GB), there are commercial software on the market by Acronis that will do that; However, I was thinking about this method that uses the copy program. This will work.

    1. install the new drive as slave.

    2. make a bootable XP floppy or flash drive.

    3. go to the root of the old drive and select all the files in the Explorer.

    4 locate the WIN386. SWP file and unselect by using the CTRL key.

    5 copy all old drive to the new drive.

    6. remove the old drive and change new master drive.

    7. new boot disk.

    8. If startup does not work, start by using the startup disk or a flash drive.

    9. to invite him back, type "Sys C:".

    10. Remove boot floppy/flash drive and charge it.

    11. If this does not work, buy commercial software.

    10 first steps will work? It would be certainly much cheaper, but if I know that it won't it allow me to save a lot of time and unnecessary copying.

    Do not work, unless your disks are both in the FAT32 format - and you can only do with a 500 GB drive

    Your best shot would be to use a correct application of cloning or patition manager to do the work for you.

    Some have a free trial that will work before it runs out.

    The OEM of Windows 8.0/8.1 license is related to the motherboard and not the hard drive, so you can reuse the new hard disk provided his will in the same computer.

    About the old drive you need not to worry about the formatting as the old disk can never be reused. If you want to be sure, you can physically break the old disk with a hammer before throwing.

    Use Windows 8.1 media tool on another PC to prepare Windows 8.1 with updated installation media 1:
