If you want to get rid of your current C drive and replace it with the new drive, you need to do is to clone the current drive to the new drive (which will eventually C - not being DO NOT D).
Depending on where you got the new disk, software cloning may have been grouped with it or may be available free of charge from the website of the manufacturer of the car. Otherwise, you need to get - this software can (and should) also be used for regular backups.
Some cloning software choices are:
Acronis True Image Home http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/
Paragon Backup and Recovery 10 Home http://www.paragon-software.com/home/brh/
Casper Smart Clone 6: http://www.fssdev.com/products/casper/
Follow the directions for the product that you choose carefully.
When the clone operation is complete, shut down the computer WITHOUT RESTARTING, unplugging the old drive and connect the new drive where the old drive used to be connected. This is particularly important if your new drive has been internal during the process of cloning rather than connected via USB.
If you restart with the original, the cloned drive connected, Windows gets very confused.
See, for example, Casper's manual on pages 3-7 (pdf, pages 6-10): http://download.fssdev.com/download/userguide/fss_casper_60_userguide.pdf

You can install and activate the perpetual software (purchased) two computers of the same type (mac or pc), as long as you use it on one at a time. (lightroom is the exception because it is a product of multi platform, so it can be installed on the pc and mac platforms)

Hello
On the help page for Firefox reset to original settings, he suggests going to the top of the page and clicking on Firefox (orange icon). Unfortunately, I can't find this header that would lead me to the help page for resetting.
Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command + SHIFT + F).
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

I am running vista and you want to go back to Windows XP. How to switch back?
I bought a new hard drive. I installed vista. Which turns out to be is not very compatible with the rest of my equipment. I would like to go back to windows XP and get rid of vista completely. How do I do that?
If you do not have your XP disc:
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send an XP Recovery disk.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
You are doing a new installation of XP, wiping the Vista operating system Partition from the hard disk containing Vista in the process.
Follow the steps below in the link, to do a clean install; read the part where you remove the existing Vista Partition, create a new Partition, format, etc...
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

When I'm on a Youtube video that is running and I want to move to a different tab, Ctrl + < number of tab > doesn't work, is this intended functionality?
This can happen when the video player (Flash plugin) has focus.
In this case the plugin consumes all key presses.
You will need to click with the mouse on the page or in the UI to work keyboard shortcuts. -
Can quicken 2007 run on El Capitan (i.e., os 10.11)? I have one currently using Yosemite and you want to update without losing the use of Quicken 2007. I don't like the new version of Quicken.
Join the club of those of us who don't like Quicken 2015 or 2016 Quicken; even if I bought it for a 40% discount offered by Intuit! I was just disappointed by Q2016 compared to Quicken 2007!
If you have upgraded to the 16.2.3, version it will work well in El Capitan!

So I have an old Alienware PC running XP 32 bit and I want to get Windows 7.
So I have an old alienware pc running 32 bit XP and I want to get windows 7. I was watching the upgrade version, but I'm probably going to be upgrading the mother/cpu/ram card when Ivybridge comes out. I can do this or do I have the full version of 7?
I recommend buying a genuine 'Full Retail Version' edition of Windows 7.

my mother has two computers that are running windows 7 and she wants to give me one of them, but it first wants to transfer or share all his stuff from one to the other. We network cables and such can I connect the on computers and share information from one to the other?
Hello
To connect two computers with a cable, not a router, it must be a crossover cable.
These are special cables, but they are not expensive.(You can configure a network or a host group (see below))
Connect two computers using a crossover cable (XP - Windows 7 may be the same)

I have a HP Pavilion a1615.uk (RF783AA) and I want to upgrade the hardware so I can install a 64-bit operating system. What should I do to make a 64-bit system? It is an upgrade of the bios or it means new equipment?
Thank you very much
Mrsbex
Hello
Normally, for modern machines we only need the 64 bit operating system itself and the drivers appropriate to go with it. There is no need to upgrade the hardware except we may want more RAM to use the 64 bit OS.
In your case, the machine is too old, my suggestion is to buy a new machine. In the long run, can be cheaper than buying part and piece of component to upgrade the existing.
Kind regards

How can I close Firefox (closed) if properly run two windows with multiple tabs in each and I want to save them all? I tried to close each window by clicking the X in the top right, and then restart Firefox only loads the last closed window. Is it possible to close Firefox so it restarts with both windows?
Hi osenochen, some additions to the first response:
- You can display the classic menu temporarily bar by pressing Alt or F10 to access the file menu
- There is also an icon of 'power' at the bottom of the graphic application menu (the one which is displayed by the button "3-bar" menu) If you prefer
- If you closed a window and you want to re - open, go to the history menu and see a list of recently closed windows (by default, up to 3 windows closed are stored and can be re-opened - not applicable to windows private)
