Install Windows 7 from one computer to another

Hi all

I got this question I was not able to find an answer yet and I wonder if anyone of you could help me out here.

I had a laptop that I use for work, which has Windows 7 Ultimate and a lot of software and personal files, I need. I recently bought a new more powerful laptop that will replace the one I use at the moment.

My question is,

Can I do a full to the top of the computer that I use and put it on the new computer, I will get? And then update the laptop with its own pilots?
Is worth it to do a cleaning installation at all instead?
Is it possible to transfer files and software from one machine to another using some sort of tool such as that used for XP to 7 or Vista to 7? Do we not have a Win 7 for Win 7 one?

Thank you
Sam

Hi sam,

You can take a full backup of the data on your computer and transfer it to the new computer, but for the application, you need to install a new copy of the same thing.

You can even use transfer Windows-a tool that helps you transfer files and settings from one computer to the other. But as you mentioned that you transfer to a powerful computer hardware and software conflict may appear, if you have a full backup you can perform a clean installation.
