How to transfer windows on a new hard drive

How can I transfer all my system windows on a new hard drive

Hello

There are different ways to do

hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk

Search for information on this subject on their Web site

If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

read the information below

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html

or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

link below is an example of this:

http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html

also to put your machine how you bought, if you decide in different ways:

1. If vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition

You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new hard drive

ask the manufacturer of the machine how

2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

they do it for a nominal cost of $

3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

they contain all versions of vista

This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

Save all data, because it will be lost, do the above

  • Pavilion p6230y: how to reinstall Windows on a new hard drive

    Hello

    Recently, I had a hard drive failure. The drive is about 7 years so I understand he lived a life busy for a long time, and I plan replace it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make the recovery discs and I don't have a windows CD, because it is installed on the disk hard when I bought the computer. If I had to buy a new HARD drive, how would I reinstall Windows on it without re-purchase a copy? I was told there would be a product key on the chasis somewhere but I couldn't find the model and serial number for the bureau, nothing to do with Windows. I also searched HP website to see if I could order recovery disks, but this option is not visible anywhere. Help, please!

    Thank you, Alex.

    Alex, welcome to the forum.

    Unfortunately, because you did not the system recovery media when you bought the computer, you will need to buy a full copy of Windows 7.

    Here's a guide to help you try to order the HP discs.  However, I believe that it is very unlikely that they are always available from your computer is more than 7 years old.

  • How to load Windows 10 on new hard drive to start clean?

    I got Windows 10 upgrade of Windows 7 icon, but I want to have the new installation on a new hard drive SSD and make a clean install only the new operating system. How can I do this?

    Can I do a clean install using the free update?

    No, it will take you run an earlier version of qualification and start the update of the release candidate. You can run a clean install after completing the upgrade.

    Please be aware that you cannot use the free upgrade offer to perform a clean installation on the first attempt. You must first pass the qualification of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 version (if you do by Windows Update or using the.) ISO file). Ensure that the upgrade is completed successfully and ensure that it is enabled. You can then proceed to do a clean install using media recovery or using the Reset function in the start menu > settings > Update & security > Recovery > reset this PC (start).

  • How to reinstall windows 8 in new HARD drive using the old product key?

    Mr President.

    One of my clients purchased a new HP Envy 6 - 1150ex running integrated windows 8 64-bit a month ago. Unfortunately the HARD drive broke down by the improper use and must be replaced. I replaced the HARD drive, but I can't find the product key original of the laptop unless you have small windows on the laptop sticker. given that I don't have the recovery for the same model disk how can I install the genuine windows 8 manually by using the product key? where can I find the product key?  Please help me.

    Kind regards

    Yoyo

    Hello

    Should be no problem at all if you use the version of Windows 8 EVEN because the product key is now embedded in the BIOS of the machine. The process is to get the right installation of Windows 8 media (DVD, USB, downloaded file) and then install on your client computer. No label/sticker more for all new machines with Windows pre-installed 8.

    Please see the following link for more information.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    Would appreciate help from the members of the Forum.

I tried loading the Acer recovery CD 3 I initially created in order to load all applications touch etc, but received a message to say that I got at loading Windows. The computer came pre loaded with Windows 7 Home Premium, so I did not all Windows disks. My question is: How can I transfer Windows 7 on my new HARD drive so I can begin to rebuild the PC?

    I had a hard disk going bad. Installed a new hard drive and the need to transfer files from the old hard drive. I have an external enclosure for the old hard drive and can connect by usb port.

    The process is fairly simple once you put the old drive in the external box. You can use the usual methods of copy and paste in Windows Explorer. If you copy files, complete folders, you can take a look at RichCopy.

  • How to reinstall it on the new hard drive

    Inspiron One my 2330 client hard disk is dead. Obviously, it will not be a recovery partition on the new HARD drive that I installed. Because the Microsoft Windows 8 activation key is embedded in the BIOS, how will I be able to activate the operating system if I install a DVD if there is no recovery logic to tell the installation routine where the key?

    Thank you!

    The product key is embedded in the UEFI BIOS. It will be automatically entered 10 TH2 Windows installation media. If you are prompted for a product key however then you have used the wrong edition of the the Windows 10 TH2 so must use Windows 10 TH2 only language:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Windows-10-OEM-and-retail-ISO/

    Note Microsoft indicated the end date for the free update is in ~ 3 days, you will need to clean install Windows 10 TH2 and activating online before this date.
