• Is it possible and allowed to install Windows XP on a 8 GB SSD?

  original title: Windows XP on 8 GB SSD

  Hello guys!

  May I ask if it's OK to install Windows XP on an SSD 8gig?

  I am currently using windows 7. My problem is that I don't get 100 + MB of free space! And I can't install Microsoft Office because I don't have a lot of space left... So I intend to switch to XP.

  Are there problems with regrads to Win XP on SSD performance?

  I need answers please! They will be very appreciated! Thank you!!!

  PS: I'm using an Acer Aspire One netbook. Processor Intel Atom N270 @1. 66. GHz 1 G RAM.

  I am EXTREMELY surprised that you even could install 7 on an 8 GB SSD. My C:\Windows folder is 9.2 GB on its own.

• How to install Windows from the recovery in mSATA SSD partition?

  Hi all

  I intend to install mSATA SSD on my ThinkPad E420 soon. My laptop comes with the recovery partition in the hard drive. How to install Windows on the SSD drive?

  I am familiar with the WIndows installation of optical media, but never to the recovery partition (which I assume where is the installer of Windows).

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards

  Hello

  Sorry, I have no idea on how to install directly from a separate to another drive, but you may want to check this . You will need 1 CD (start) and a 4.7 GB DVD (data) because Lenovo recovery adds all this bloatware in factory settings.

  That said, if you want a clean install, use the Windows disk (in case you do not have the same edition, you can download it legally from the net, google it) and your OEM key for activation.

  What is the error message when you try to install on the SSD drive?

  You can reinstall Windows 7 on the old 120 GB SSD, the image and restore it on the largest SSD. See the following for instructions:

• Cannot install Windows XP after the purchase of disk

  I put the disk for Windows xp, but cannot be installed

  You should really start a new thread on this question of yours.  I'll send a message to the moderator to separate this question from this old thread and create a new one for you.

  In any case, if you have installed vista, xp will not be able to install automatically. It's because you try to downgrade your computer.

  However, if the computer already had xp on the computer, and then you could upgrade to vista automatically.

  You'd have to do is to format the hard disk in the first place, until xp can be reinstalled.

  But there may be another problem for you at this time.

  You see, if you have a computer that has been designed to use vista then xp is maybe not able to work on this computer.   You will have to go place of origin of the computer and see if your machine has hardware drivers that can be used by xp.  In others, you should check if there are drivers xp for your computer model.

  If this is not the case, then it means that your computer cannot start xp, even if you reformat the hard drive and install a new copy of xp on it.

  What is the brand and model of your computer?

• Install Windows 7 on SSD and programs on the HARD drive?

  Original title: conner bottomley.

  Hello

  I was wondering if you could help me! I recently built my own PC, it has 2 drives (1 SSD and 1 HDD) and I want to have windows 7 (64 bit) installed on the smaller SSD and all other files and programs on the larger HARD drive could you give me some instructions on how to do it? I've been strugling for awhile now!

  I am completely new to this so if you can keep it nice and simple, would be great!

  Thanks for your help :)

  Have your program files on the HARD drive defeated the purpose of having an SSD in the first place. The goal is to start the operating system and load your programs faster.

  Then, install the operating system and programs on the SSD and store your personal files (Documents, music, photos, videos etc.) on the HARD disk.

  Demarrer start from the Windows 7 DVD, and then select the SSD drive during installation

  For information about how to modify your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, see the following tutorial:

  http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

  

  

  Click Custom install Windows only (Advanced)

  

  Select the SSD drive, and then click Next.

  Once Windows 7 is installed, you can redirect personal folders on the HARD drive to store your files.

• Can I install Windows 10 on external USB SSD?

  Is it possible to install Windows (10) on a 3.0 SSD external? Bootcamp will allow me to select an external USB disk for installation of windows? I can't check myself right now because im currently waiting on a new SSD in the mail. It is possible, if difficult how is it?

  Thank you all

  Manager licensing Windows supports external drives under Windows Enterprise using Windows-to-Go. You can use a third-party software like Winclone or CampTune Clonezilla to move an image.

  Depending on the connection to the external drive, it may or may not work.

• Need help to install Windows 8.1 on the partition, bootcamp on Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 w / no optical drive"

  I tried for almost a week in all possible ways to get windows installed on a boot camp partition on my main SSD 1 TB drive as a partition, or on my HARD drive, which is installed in place of the optical drive.  So far, everything I tried to give me some sort of error at some point in the process.  It seems that many of them are case by case, so I thought that I invite you all and see if you can help!

  I use a Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 that I improved with a 1 TB SSD drive as the startup disk.  My optical drive was not functional, so I moved my old 500 GB HARD drive to the location of the optical Bay.  I am also under the latest version of El Capitan (10.11.6)
  Here are my system specs:

  
  Presentation of the material:

  Model name: MacBook Pro

  Model identifier: MacBookPro6, 2

  Processor name: Intel Core i7

  Processor speed: 2.8 GHz

  Number of processors: 1

  Total number of cores: 2

  (By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB

  L3 Cache: 4 MB

  Memory: 8 GB

  Processor speed of interconnection: 4.8 GT/s

  Boot ROM version: MBP61.0057.B11

  Version of the SCM (System): 1.58f17

  What I tried (from what I remember):

  I tried to change the Bootcamp info.plist file for my version of the macbook pro to use a USB stick for the installer.  It seems to have installed correctly but once I partition the disk and restart the computer, it gets stuck on a white screen with the Apple logo and I am forced to make a hard stop and then hold down option to boot into OS X, recovery, or the EFI Boot.

  If I go through the windows installation to start the EFI system, I get an error of:
  "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.  The selected disk is a MBR partition table.  On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »

  I also tried to create a partition by using disk utility, and that too made me an error in the installation of windows.

  So far, the only way that I'm away from windows to run at all has been using the free trial of VMware Fusion 8... but I intend to use windows for more intensive tasks like audio pro, and merger simply does not offer the performance necessary to run these programs.  I'm hoping to install windows 8.1 on my internal SSD or HARD drive, regardless of the work - as long as OS X and files associated with it are left alone.

  If someone could help me please understand this point, I would really appreciate it!

  Thank you

Just delete the partition that has ubuntu installed on it, or just delete all partitions if you want... Then you can format the drive and create a new partition to install Windows on... If you can not do this as well better you start thinking your PC to someone who knows how.

• HP Envery Phoenix 810: New PC, added my own SSD, how to move Windows?

  Hello

  Just got this new PC, but it did not come with an SSD, so I added my own. But I can't understand how to get Windows installs it. I want it to become my main boot drive.

  Delivery to zero/system restore does not give me an option to specify a drive.

  Since this is brand new, there is no problem with wiping the disks completely and starting over.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Greetings,

  810 HP PC usually have a 256 GB or 512 GB SSD drive option available for purchase.

  Create HP Recovery DVD discs or USB key to aid Recovery Manager from HP.

  Exchange in the new SSD on SATA0 and run recovery using DVD or USB recovery drive to the new drive.

  This will create a new installation, so save the good things before doing this.

  You can also clone the drive using third-party cloning software, but if you are interested in going to win 10 it could cause upgrade problems. Some third-party cloning software changes the disk partition SSID that cause the Win 10 upgrade fails.

  Some SSD drives come with the cloning software. Install the software, connect the SSD to your PC via the included USB adapter and run the cloning software to migrate OS to SSD. Then, install the SSD on SATA0 and start Windows on your newly installed SSD.

  Again, if the SSID is changed using the cloning software SSD manufacturer, you can have a problem upgrading to win 10.

  So, if you want to win 10 then do it (upgrade) before installing the SSD.

• H8-1240ef - install Windows 7 on a SSD

  Hello

  I have a HPE h8-1240ef with a disk of 1 TB SATA III.

  I would like to add a 64 GB SSD SATAIII drive in order to install Windows 7 above, to increase performance.

  Given that we do not have the "Windows 7 installation CD" with the HP machine, I don't know how to install Windows 7 on the SSD drive and swap the bootable volume, for the SSD read in the C: drive.

  Thanks a lot for your help

  Hey Grboutin,

  You will need the recovery disks to restore the system. But you'll need a 160 GB SSD the minimum size to restore the system using the recovery discs.

  You can create on your PC recovery disks, simply type in the start menu in the recovery and Recovery Manager should appear. Follow the instructions to create the media recovery either on DVD or a USB - stick.

  Here is a link.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01867124

  but - the key is - SSD JUST does not work, you MUST have a 160 GB or more to recover. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a retail version of windows.

  Good luck

• The disk partitioning and choosing the SSD to install Windows

  Hi all

  I'm new to the forum and I hope to get some help with my problem.
  Today, I received my new IdeaPad U510 and I love it. But I realize that the operating system is installed on the SATA hard drive instead of being installed on the SSD (for best performance).
  I would like someone to help me by telling me: How can I install Windows (with the license that was supposed to come with the purchase of the laptop) on the SSD?
  Given that I tried 'set' the OneKey restore but as far as I see, is not allowed.

  Thank you very much for your support.

  First of all, it is better to be * beep * sure you know what you're doing.
  Second, make a bootable Windows USB installation paste and test if it works, just to be sure. Back up your data. Go to the BIOS, disable the TSRI, then set it to SATA AHCI (from RAID or AUTO) mode. Save and reboot. Now you start the installer, repartition your SSD drive (I would recommend going for the TPG plan, it is the only way to boot with UEFI, which has some advantages, that is to say more fast start) and install Windows.
  After that, disable hibernation, windows etc backups so that the free space of your SSD gets to zero after a week of use.
  Keep in mind that this will break your OKR feature, which is not useful anyway if you're a power user.
