Install an SSD in an Inspiron 3650 I7 6700 16 GB Ram 2 TB hard drive Amd R9 380 graphic and running Win 7 Pro 64-bit

Hello:

I have the above referenced PC and want to add an SSD (boot with OS drive).  I would like to make this my c: drive ssd.  I want to keep the Windows 7 operating system.  I made the disarmament recovery disks I opened the PC.  I don't want to win 10.

Could someone with their infinite knowledge teach me throughout the procedure with pictures if possible?  What parts do need me if any?

Thanks in advance

Tom

I thought I was doing a 512 GB SSD.  The system came with Win 10 Pro 64 bit installation floppies, but I'm used to and prefer to use Win 7.  The idea of cloning seems interesting.  In fact, it looks to the ticket.  What cloning software is recommended.  The priority of the boot in the BIOS change after cloning?  I am concerned with what type of SSD should I purchase (interface, transfer rate, etc.), what cables, if any, and which adapters will be necessary?

At work, I have all my computers run with SSD (OS/startup) and they run like rockets.  This new computer runs great, but with a SSD for the start, program files, "scratch disks", I'll be in the drive hyper.  I'd be in Mary for a bargain price.

Yet once again, thank you very much for you answer quickly.  I have several Dell optiplex computers in office and did not have a problem.

Thank you once again to Osprey

    You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

    I propose to you leave as is and put to upgrade to 8.1 Windows put in day 1 which significantly improves the user experience for mouse and keyboard users, more:

  • Win 7 Pro 32 bit time material plug unplug sound several times with no connection to install new

    Win 7 Pro 32-bit o/s, 3.06 ghz processor, 4 GB of RAM and nothing plugged in, clean and fresh install. There is a game repeated (constantly) connection / disconnected material 'sound' that repeats itself about every 6 seconds. There is nothing connected to the USB ports or something and that a single HD is connected and powered. There is no related tasks on demand for this activity, no programs are installed and no customization of what either just a new installation. I moved the HD to another PC and saw the same event. An another clean install of the o/s was the same. With or without additional programming, the problem is obvious.

    I've eliminated all services by toggle, but the sound continues its repetition. Event and error logs do not display anything.

    Please, comments or any souutions will be appreciated as soon as possible... Microsoft had no entry.

    All I can do to stop the sound to repeat is to turn off the sounds is select 'no sound' in the sound options.

    Hi KJ6I,

    You can check in Device Manager if there are unknown devices that are not getting detected.

    To open the device manager follow the link below.

    Open the Device Manager

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-Device-Manager

    In addition, scan for any change of hardware in Device Manager

    Open Device Manager, click Action, and then click on Search the hardware changes. Follow the instructions

    Now, restart the computer and check what is happening.

    Also see the wire that connects the hard drive to the computer, because this could be the reason for the sound.

    You also try to run a check disk to disk and let it repair.

    1. Click Start, type cmd in the start search box, right-click cmd.exe in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    2. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    CHKDSK X: /R

    Note: In this command, x is a placeholder that represents the drive letter of the volume you want to check.

    3. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.

    4. close all applications and restart the computer.

    Note: When you restart, Windows checks the drive for errors, and then Windows starts.

    5. after the computer restarts, repeat steps 1 through 4 for the other volume and try the backup operation again.

    For more information, follow the link below.

    Yes, you can reinstall Windows 7 OEM System Builder License on the new hard drive with the new processor.

    It will not be a problem in this case, since you don't "move" installation, you are doing a new installation. The less it will take is activation of the phone, as you change the hard drive:

    Hi all!

    I would like to replace the original hard drive came with my desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f with an SSD, but when I tried, I got the error message that my SSD drive was not big enough. The original hard drive is 1.35 TB. What size an SSD should be to replace the original CT 1.35 supplied with my HP so that I could use the 1.35 disc as my second drive and the ssd as my main drive?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Yes I think a 240 GB SSD would be sufficient.  Using the hard drive for storage is a good idea.

    These articles HOWTO HP should be useful.

    You should be able to install the SSD in the existing hard drive cage as it is put into service for three hard drives.  Use a 2.5 "to 3.5" adapter.  You also need a SATA data cable.

    Don't forget to create the external recovery media and backup your data.

    Yes, you can use the same product key to activate the 64-bit version. You may need to reactivate but by telephone.

(In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings.

  • Not to install the drivers for HP PSC 1410 on computer running Win 7 Ultimate (64 bit)

    Hi all!

    I have been with my HP PSC 1410 with my old computer for a while now, without any problems. However, since the time I upgraded my computer and the operating system (Win 7 Ultimate (64 bit) recently, I find that, although the printer prints my documents and scan them in a certain measure, there is always an exclamation point icon that appears on the device, indicating that it does not work as it is supposed to. I tried to download driver from the HP site files, but the problem won't go away. Any suggestions, anyone?

    Have you installed the printer according to the instructions from HP, which is to install using the cd of HP, or the full software from HP support features and only connect the printer when prompted, or just connect?
