• How to install Windows 7 on a new SSD, Dell Windows 7 DVD

  I have a new SSD for my workstation Precision 7510.  I need to install windows 7 on it from the DVD provided by Dell.  The DVD has no drivers and so when I try and install, I get a message about "the installation media does contain not all drivers" and the installation will not allow me to continue.  Keep in mind that my new SSD has no partition recovery or in fact any partition.  I have a drivers Cab file and I also have this unpacked on a USB key, but it does not appear as a disk when I "Browse".  Neither the new SSD - t - there no partitions...

  Do I need to format the SSD drive first?

  Could someone tell me where I can get the drivers and all that forms, they must be in?  In other words, I need to burn it to a DVD, and what would the structure of directory?  Do I have to download all the drivers separately - there are a number of EXEs on the support site, or can I use the Dell Enterprise site CAB file?

  I tried various things now since a few days and I'm losing my grip on reality :)

  Thanks in advance.

  Use this driver:

  I would also advise to convert the DVD to USB with USB 3.0 support:

• Upgrade to windows 10 on a new SSD without losing files

  Hello

  So I have here is my situation:

  -A got a new SSD, makes my old hard drive in an external.
  -Already installed on my new SSD of things, and my old HD has everything on my old computer.

  So I would like to know if I could:

  -install the windows 10 update on my old HD, without calling on my old computer.
  -install the new windows 10 (not the upgrade but after I installed on my old HD), on my new SSD without losing files and programs already on it.

  That's all, thank you

  I explained to him that you can store everything, including the image on the hard drive, then return it to the outer shell to start the imaging boot disk to apply the image to the SSD.

  However if you do not want to remove the SSD, it is possible using startup disk Macrium made on another PC to boot the PC with attached externally, save the image partition system and the OS on another partition (shrunk if necessary c using The Partition Wizard CD boot), transfer the data to the SSD and then apply the image to the SSD after the removal of its partition using Macrium or Partition Wizard.

  Hello

  I recently bought a 275 GB SDD to replace a Go 520 crushed SATA HDD. Because I don't have a recovery disk created, I ordered the HP Win 8.1 recovery disks. I followed the instructions and the Disk 1 formatting process completed successfully and I was prompted to insert disk 2. At this stage the process crashes after the dvd player starts rotating. Nothing I o will cause the process to continue.  The problem is the size of different readers?

  Hello:

  See if, by your own plain W8.1 installation media, you can reinstall Windows 8.1.

  https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows8

  The only downside is the OEM product key in the BIOS.

  However, there are workarounds like the one shown below to find out how to get the product key in the BIOS to work on your new installation...

• Could not restore Windows 8 on my new SSD

  Hi all

  I installed a new 500 GB SSD on my Inspiron 14Z 5423.

  I tried to use the three months USB drive, I created there with Dell backup and restore to re-create and rebuild the (clean) software on my laptop.

  But the thing won't work, among other things, I get a message of 0 xC0000001. This means that the USB drive is corrupt? I also tried with a SATA cable using the old HD connected via USB. This is because the SSD is built in 'and the recovery drive deos who don't know '?

  Because I can't do anything with my laptop I can't recreate the recovery USB disk, I suppose that a (XPS12) Dell recovery disk will not work because it's another machine, is that correct?

  Would a Windows.ISO engraved on a DVD work? I've got a DVD in my laptop.

  Please notify.

  You can clone the installation for the SSD, provided that the SSD is large enough to accommodate the installation to be cloned.

  See http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-hdd-to-ssd-with-windows-7s-own-software or (easier) use a trial version of Acronis True Image Home 2012.

  Note that, immediately after cloning, you must stop and unplug the original installation. The disc can be reconnected once the DSS started successfully.

  Alternatively, you can use Easeus Todo Backup to move your plant to a SSD:

• Install the EFI on new SSD partition when doing 10 costs of Windows Installer

  I have a similar problem to this topic. Windows was originally (and still is) installed on my HARD drive and I just installed my SSD recently. When I did a clean install of Windows 10 on my new SSD it has not installed the EFI partition.

  Is there a way to create a new partition on the SSD EFI (of course I have to do another new facility) or do I have to physically unplug my HARD drive before you begin?

  my personal rule, I always disconnect a disk with a partition bootable OS, just to reduce the troubles and do not mix the boot managers (I prefer to select the BIOS boot device)

• Re: Portégé R700 - how to install Windows 7 on new SSD?

  Hello!

  I want to change my HDD in Toshiba Portege R700 to SSD. How to install Windows 7 on this new SSD? I don't have any Windows installation disc.

  Or that it will be possible to move the partition of the old HDD to new SSD (using Acronis, I could move the partition on the new HARD drive)?

  I've heard of partition offset and this SSD block should be the same as FAT cluster (the same alignment).

  All advice? (I know should I defragment my HARD drive before moving :))

  Hey Buddy,

  > I do not have any Windows installation disc.
  Create the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the manual of the user before you exchange the disc, then you have a Setup disk. The Toshiba recovery disc will restore parameters of the box with all the drivers and tools. It can be used on each disc and how many times you want.

  After this change the drive and start the Toshiba recovery disc. Follow the instructions on the screen and everything will be installed.

  Check this box!

• Windos 8 clean installation of a new SSD

  I have problems, do a clean install of Windows 8 for a new SSD.

  I'm suing the 64-bit Windows 8 pro upgrade CD - in the retail box.

  The BIOS is set to AHCI. I told the computer to boot from the CD/DVD drive. I put the SSD in an Icy Dock adapter.  I replaced the hard C with an SSD drive.  I unplugged the second HD and all USB devices except the keyboard and mouse. Everything seemed OK.  (I checked the connectors and did several times.) I inserted disk pro upgrade Windows 8 and power running.  He went through the usual initial installation.  He then asked "where do you want to install windows? It shows no disc.  He assane "we haven't found all the disks.  For a storage driver, click on load a driver. »

  After clicking on load a driver, it says "to install the device driver for your drive, insert the installation media containing the driver files, and then click OK. Note the installation media can be a flash drive, CD, DVD, or USB. "There are browse and recan buttons, which do not help.

  Clicking OK search a little while and then he said: 'no signed device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers. »

  Well, no disk not supplied with the SSD (a crucial M500 960GB).

  I have triple checked the connections, and they seem OK.

  I'm stuck at this point - what could be the problem?

  ======

  Added: This computer (I use another right now) came with Win7, but I upgraded to Win8 with the upgrade of the box retail, then to 8.1 with the download from the shop Windows.  He then worked with Win 8 and 8.1.  If I put the HD in, it works as it did, but I need to do a clean install on the new SSD.

  Well Yes may be the card it connects directly to the port

  Well, I took the SSD to the Icy Dock adapter and taped in temporarily, and he now sees the SSD!  I checked the SSD into the adapter and it seemed safe.  He hung in place, etc.

  And now it's 'customize '.

  Thanks a lot (and everyone else).

• Reinstallation of Windows 8 on new SSD

  Hi, I have recently acquired a new SSD and a new hard drive after suspecting that my old hard drive was a failure. I tried to do a clean install of Windows 8 on the new SSD, but instead the clean install just erased from my hard drive and reinstalled the old hard disk. I tried the old hard drive to the OS on the new SSD cloning and booting from the SSD, but it does not work, how I go about doing that?

  I bought Windows 8 Pro online and downloaded later, I don't have a backup/install disk and I don't have any more uses on my key (it was 1 key/use only) this is why I did not format and reinstall.

  To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

  So make sure that you do this first, then proceed to reinstall Windows 8 Pro and then again by phone:

  You can download it from there and use your product key to upgrade:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only

  Activation of the phone:

  1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

  5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

  I bought it yesterday because my current HARD drive is too slow.

  The problem is that I can't have my genuine version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit on it and I tried the system recovery DVD, I got from HP.

  Is my laptop: HP G62-b60SD

  Unfortunately my warranty has expired, so I hope someone could help me with this.

  In order to get my work of SSD, I just had to put an illegal version of 64-bit Windows 7 on it.

  But now I can't some functions to work, for example: disabling touchpad, brightness reduction etc.

  I have HP Support Assistant and assistant wireless network from several Web sites.

  How can I get my legal W7 Home Premium with the key functions of work in this regard?

  BTW, I use the SSD as my boot and the main driver and my old HDD is now elsewhere.

  Thank you very much for read/answer/help me already.

  Hello

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the activation code on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  Create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image from the link below (this has to be the same version as your original OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it's the commercial version accurate , you would need).

  Use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to complete the installation of Windows 7 on your new SSD, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA in the request and one time Setup is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just that a new installation of Windows 7 without software load additional normally comes with facilities OEM.
