I can load a backup of Windows 8 (1) on a Windows 7 computer

Hello

I bought my current computer the day before the release of Windows 8 so it came with Windows 7, but they gave me a free upgrade for Windows 8, which I installed quickly. I'm sure that I have completed later updates of Windows 8.1.

I recently had problems with my computer's hard drive and warned to create a backup copy, that I made using a Seagate portable hard drive. The disk hard crashed altogether not long after, while I had it replaced and asked the technician to reinstall windows 7 original that I did not find Windows 8 user very friendly and had not heard many good reports about this.

The problem is that when I go in the backup and restore, I can't seem to figure how to get them out of the Seagate hard drive, or even know if they will be compatible with Windows 7.

I'd appreciate any help.

You can do this, but you must use the same program to Seagate, you used the first time.  If you have not installed, go to the Seagate site and download it.

  • Load a backup of Windows 7 transfer of a Vista box on another box of Vista?

    Get this for luck - as my XP computer was dying, I downloaded Windows 7 transfer (WT 7) and got a good backup to send to my new Windows 7 box.  Then the old computer is dead.  Then I loaded the backup successfully to the new box - and then he died.  Now, I am using the WT 7 backup file to load on a spare box of Vista.  WT Vista does not recognize the WT 7 file, and when I run WT 7 he insists that I must be on the old system and don't go to the screen to load.

    Do I have a chance to do this work?  (Load WT 7 backup Vista box on another box of Vista?)

  • How to restore Windows Vista backup on Windows XP computer?

    I was about to lose my hard drive on a computer with Vista Home Premium. Stored on an external hard drive. Not able to find my Vista rescue cd, I so installed XP Professional I've had. Attached to transfer backup files, but will not transfer.

    Hi Marty,

    Windows Vista backup files are in. Disc format hard virtual which is only supported in Vista. You would have to restore them on a computer that is running Windows Vista and then copy the contents of the Windows XP computer.

  • Can not backup my Windows 7 computer

    Hi, I have a Windows 7 Pro computer, wherein the C: drive is an SSD. In addition, two more personal data, D: and E: partitions. When I try to save a WD external drive of the computer (in my case drive F :), here's what's happening:)

    -When I try to create a system image, drive F is detected, but when I press "Next", I don't see the D: drive. What is shown is: EFI System Partition

    New folder (e :)) (System))

    (C) (System)

    Partition D: is not displayed. Backup and restore screen indicates that the Partition D: is disconnected. Moreover, for the backup location a D: bar is displayed.

    I checked and replaced the external hard drives, power supplies and cables USB 3.  On occasion, for a reason I can't identify, the F: drive appears.

    and I can see the partitions to backup: System Partition EFI with a 'v' in a small gray square.

    (D) with a white square

    New Volume (e :)) (System))

    (C) (System)

    I checked in the computer managementand it shows all partitions in good health!

    If I do not take this situation into account and press on , the computer seems to perform a backup. The duration is 15 minutes and results in a message that a backup has been created successfully.

    List was not! When you try to restore the computer from the backup, a backup cannot be located, and when I open the files in the external hard drive, a backup file is there, but empty.

    -J' tried to use a third-party backup program. I can't restore the system, but I can restore Partition D.

    It's confusing, but my sense of lack of professionalism, is that the problem is in the computer.

    If anyone can help?

    Thank you, Joseph.

    Question: If I remove the letter of the partition - I will be able to come back?

    Is it possible to delete this partition and then re - set?

    Withdrawal of the letter of the partition is reversible.

    When you perform the maintenance of the system, then it pays to keep a way of uninstalling that works no matter what. In your case, this means:

    1. Create a System Restore Point before you do not trivial things.
    2. Use your system repair CD (or a Windows installation DVD) to start the machine in Windows Repair Mode, then check whether the previously created restore Point is visible.

    You can delete any partition other than the system partition, and then re-create. Of course, you will lose all the data stored on that partition.

    VJP2002, welcome to the forum.

    According to the Product Specifications for the computer, it came not with a wireless card installed.  However, you can add a.  Here is a card that should work for you.  It uses the technology of KT (Gigabit).  This means that your router must support AC.  However, it supports 802.11 a/b/g/n.  There are 3 PCI Express x 1 slots on the motherboard.

    There are other options, for example, wireless USB adapters.  You don't have to open the case and install them.

  • Can't get into my windows vista computer!

    I just got a windows vista of one of the members of my family and they don't remember the password to your account profile. Like when you turn it on and it goes different profiles? Well there are two, and you can't go out with these passwords. so my question is how to restore the computer to factory settings because I can not even get past the log part and that you can't use the computer...

    Hello

    See the guide on the following link for reset your PC to its "factory Condition" - probably the best solution in your case (assuming that the recovery hard disk partition is Ok) is to follow the procedure in the title of the subheading recovering from the hard drive and the computer is off,

    I have a HP A636N as my backup with windows XP computer.

    I update once a month after storage.

    My question is I had a breakdown (stuck mouse) and was able to complete the updates.

    I had to use the F8 key to load specifications factory because I couldn't restore the system.

    My problem is after that I installed all the updates, it's stuck in a boot loop.

    I have just upgraded to Windows 7. But whenever I turn on my computer, he wants to support me on my user account name before completely loading windows. How can I stop this and simply load in thank you Windows.

    Hi UKuser7,

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum.

    Automatic logon is disabled in Windows 7 by default for security reasons. If it is enabled, anyone who can physically access the computer can also gain access to everything on the computer, including the networks that it is connected.

    This setting is only recommended for cases where the computer is physically secure.

    To set up Windows 7 to connect to the desktop automatically, follow the steps below.

    1) click Start , and then enter the following command in the start search box:

    Netplwiz

    2) press ENTER.

    This opens the Advanced user accounts Control Panel window.

    (3) in the users tab, uncheck the box next to users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

    4) click apply at the bottom of the user accounts window.

    (5) when the newspaper automatically on the dialog box appears, enter the user name for which you want to automatically connect to Windows 7. Then enter your password in the two areas where it is requested.

    6) click on the OK button.

    7) click OK in the window user accounts to complete the process.

    Thereafter, your PC at startup, Windows 7 will be automatically connect.

    Ticket back for your comments and concerns.
