Laptop HP 15-af157na: new laptop - how do I back up the operating system until I use?

You just bought a laptop and PC World told me to back up the operating system before you start to use it on a pendrive of 32 GB, but because he wanted to sell their service, he refused to give me any indication on how where to start!  Should not be difficult.  Stupid how they do not include the cs as they did.

Someone help please?

Thanks for the comments.

Glad to have been of help

    Hi wendyspeariett,

    1. you receive an error message when you start in safe mode or normal mode?

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    If you have access to the internet in safe mode with network, then you will need to scan the computer to remove all infections from the computer and check if that helps.

  • How can I actually protect the operating system of my computer?

    At the time when I turn on my computer there is what is supposed to be "updated" something MicroSoft.  In other words, someone just hacked into my
    computer and is committed to change the operating system on my computer.  I would like to prevent this.  How then?

    It is probably not a hacker but instead MS just the things you really need to update as a security update.

    You can disable updates, but it will more vulnerable and lead to instability.

  • I have to make a new hard drive for my Toshiba laptop, how do I get my current operating system (Vista) on the new hard drive?

    I already have Vista running. Last week I had to run the recovery disc that came with my laptop, now I am hearing cracking and screetching coming from the hard drive and it does not start. I intend to buy a new hard drive and replace it myself. How can I move the new Vista of the old hard drive?

    My computer did come with an installation disc, only a recovery disk.

    Probably you need to use the product key on your computer to activate Windows.

    How can I get a new access key for windows xp pro?

    Hello

    There are several potential issues at stake here.

    First of all, make sure that you use the Windows product key is for the full XP Pro version not the upgrade version.

    Secondly, many manufacturers of computers for the last few years have provided computers with Windows XP installed, but a product key of Vista on the side.  If this is your situation, you need to call the manufacturer of your computer for the installation media or call microsoft to "downgrade rights."

    Thirdly, if you use a product key that was provided for Windows XP Service Pack 3, and you use the older installation media, it will not accept this product key.  You need to get your hands on support for XP Service Pack 3.

    Hope that helps.

    Toshiba Satellite C850D-11F, Windows 8.1. Out of warranty

    The hard drive is no longer achievable and will have been checked and declared "Kaput". I can get my hands on a fresh drive. But how to save the operating system that came with the laptop. Toshiba provides a free license? Is it possible that the licence can be transferred. I have the serial number etc. on the sticker on the back of the laptop.

    I assume that you did not create recovery media, right?

  • How can I reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive?

    I strongly suspect failure of hard drive on my old computer XPS 420. Data recovery isn't a problem. However, because the way I too lazy to buy a whole new operating system, is possible that I can transfer the installation of Windows Vista on a new hard drive? I told me that Dell will send me an installation disc to do, but how to make a record like this, and is there another way?

    I'm thinking of ghosting the HDD on another and the use of the recovery for nuke partition in a new facility, but it would even work?

    Thank you

    The simplest method, I prefer to install a replacement hard drive, is to clone the existing hard drive to the new, that will also transfer all applications and programs.

    You need an imaging utility, similar to True Image Home 2015.

    http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage

    Acronis resize partitions transferred to match the size of the new hard drive.

    Hard drive manufacturers, also have their own free cloning software available, but it can be used only with their hard drives.

    First, install the new drive as the secondary and the image of the main hard drive in it.

    Immediately after the cloning, shut down the system, switch the data cable [SATA port 0] to the new disk, making the new master hard drive and see if the system boots properly.

    Start the system with only the new hard drive connected.

    Be sure to leave the original drive disconnected, until the new hard drive is working to your satisfaction.

    Before cloning a hard drive, make sure that the existing drive has no corruption or virus on it, because they will be transferred to the new hard drive.

    It will take a second SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.

    What is obtaining a disc from the Dell operating system Vista OEM [If Dell still copies of this available media], but you can be out of luck unless you have a warranty from Dell, but it's worth a try to see what is happening.

    If you reside in the United States, or the Canada and are the registered owner of the computer, with an active warranty, a disk that contains the operating system specific to your system factory installed can be requested HERE.

    Note: Dell may impose a charge for the disc.

    If you do not live in the United States, contact the Support from Dell, which is located in your country.
