• install two copies of windows oem on the same computer

  Installation of two separate copies of OEM windows 7 on the same computer (an ultimate, a home premium, the two 64 bit) the problem is that I can't hide (do it completely unavailable - mask not only) the first installed OS of each from the second partition (identified as "oem partition") when it is started in the second operating system.

  I would like to do to use the ultimate as a main working OS operating system (be able to load up with various applications, databases of workers etc. etc., that once everything is loaded tends to emphasize the system a little (it does not as effectively as I would like).) I would then use the partition Home premium for latency sensitive things. boot between the two and other work is managed by linux (grub 2)

  the disks are defined as readers of ahci uefi (couple of ssd for boot/apps/pagefile)

  Is it still possible? (even with me having to buy the commercial versions of the os (non - oem), or microsoft is trying to wrest a sort of copy protection scheme

  the two disks (main) are set up as follows
  / dev/sda1 to fat32 (for gpt disks) startup (resized to 500 MB of 128)
  / dev/sda2 unknown ms reserved (this is set here as part of microsofts uefi partitioning installation sequence)
  / dev/sda3 ntfs first installation (7 ultimate) operating system

  dev/sdb1 unknown ms reserved (see above)
  dev/sdb2 ntfs second os install - he actually complains during installation that it cannot install on the partition, but he does it anyway

  Thanks in advance for any help

  I forgot to add the second installed operating system know the partition indicator 'hide '.

  Yes.

  Not at all.

  If you have Windows 7 with an OEM license agreement (it came pre-installed on the computer is the most likely scenario for this, but you can buy OEM copies so) or you have a license to retail (upgrade or full version) - the way your question is worded is very specific - you * can * install Windows 7 costs/clean on this same system as much as you wish.  A new hard drive won't stop you activation - well that at some point, you need to activate by phone, as opposed to over the Internet.

  Now - if the motherboard is replaced and it's licensed OEM and replacement was not that of the OEM that probably set up your computer...  Then you have a problem.

  Unless you happen to have a license of Windows 7 retail sales, so it is not related to the computer (motherboard).

• Move from Vista to Windows 7 AND transfer on a different hard disk operating system

  I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit and in the same movement of time the OS Vista Home Premium 32-bit & a Seagate 80 GB HARD drive to two 250 GB hard drives in a RAID configuration. I intend to replace the 80 GB HARD disk with a faster drive Windows XP, so I find myself with a dual-boot system.  Apart from the exchange of small hard drives, the system will be unchanged compared to when I activated Vista.  Since it seems I have to reinstall all the programs on W7 in any case (damn and the breath), I wonder if it will be necessary (for reasons of product activation) or useful (for operational reasons) to first clone Vista to the larger players. I am aware that Seagate provides cloning software, also free that 250 GB seems a little bit today - but he will do well while this PC is still working. In case it is relevant, the Vista is OEM (I built the PC and I bought Vista with the motherboard), but I will get the retail version of Windows 7.  Most experts with thanks...

  Hello
   
  We cannot move the operating system from one hard disk to another. However, we can install the operating system on another hard drive or take the whole operating system if necessary system image backup.
  NOTE: You'll have to do a custom Setup to upgrade to the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
  Windows Backup gives you the opportunity to create a system image, which is an exact image of a disk. A system image includes Windows and your control panel, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working. When you restore your computer from a system image, it's a complete restoration; You cannot choose to restore individual items and all of your current programs, Control Panel, and the files are overwritten.

• Move from Vista to Windows 7 - partitions

  Hello!

  I just got my new Thinkpad SL500 at home - with Vista Home built in. I think to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, but I have to ask about partitions.

  There are 3 partitions on my hard drive:

  C: partition system "SW_Preload".

  Q: "Servicev003 system boot partition."

  S: recovery partition "Lenovo."

  I don't know that I can get rid off the coast to keep my Lenovo features intact while changing Win 7 (I've seen change, because the real change would be not an upgrade, but complete reinstall with deletion of the old system) partitions.

  Can I delete the partition q: "Servicev003?" Is - only used for Windows Vista or the only some features of Lenovo recovery? And the score of "Lenovo"?

  All drivers are already available for Windows 7 Lenovo utilities?

  Thank you for all advice.

  George

  Hello

  The Q score is to begin rescue and Recovery in case your partition C cannot start. Then you can restore your system to the image of the factory of the partition of S. The S partition will contain your Vista Home image, so it's not useful for you once you upgrade.

  First thing you can do is to generate these partitions recovery media. You can use R & R to do. You will get a bootable CD with R R & Q score and two DVDs of the partition of S containing Vista.

  Personally, I then removed the two partitions and installed Windows 7.  You can then use R & R to generate a new image of the system on a DVD. I recommend waiting until you have all you apps installed and the system set up. If you need to recover, then you start from the R & R CD and recover from the DVD.

  I believe that it is possible to keep the partition Q but the boot sector will be replaced by Windows 7 so it needs to be restored to allow to boot in S. As I have never done this, maybe someone else can help.

  The only way to get a full range of partitions is to use an image of Lenovo. I do not think that Lenovo offers these?

  Personally I prefer for other alternatives of R & R like Acronis True Image, but the principle is the same, a bootable CD, then the image of an operating system on another media such as DVD or a network drive.

  10 + years that I've never had to do a full restore so the convenience of having R & R available on the blue button does not for me outweighed the loss of space on a small SSD (80 GB).

  However a "of System Builder (OEM) version of Windows 7 is related to the first motherboard install you it, so if this CPU upgrade also requires a different motherboard / new then the Integrator version will be more usable (will activate not)."

• can I use my profile of windows 7 on windows 8 on the same computer

  I've been using tb for years, now I'm on windows 7, but when I'm editing I use windows 8 same computer but on a different partition. I don't want to copy files, as when I go back to windows 7 they wont last updated on any new email I received with windows 8. Can I simply use form profile tb windows 7 on windows 8?
  Can't do anything in TB until you add an email address, I have, but when I told him to get the windows 7 partition profile I got a large list appear but not my emails or accounts.

  am I want to do simply not possible, I see several articles re multiple profiles, but not on multiple windows operating systems

  As long as the profile is when Windows 7 and Windows 8 can see (and write in it!), then it should work.

  However, the default location is inside the users and this may be limited. Users has been implemented to be accessible from both systems?

  Otherwise, you have created a shared folder accessible to both Windows 7 and Windows 8 to host profile?

  The trick for the implementation is, once you put the profile where the two installations of Windows can see, is to edit the files respective profile.ini two systems to refer to the new location. You will certainly need also the IsRelative value 0 (i.e. false) and use of backslashes instead of slashes in path names.

  A caveat is that both facilities must use the same version of Thunderbird, or they can bicker about version of add-on levels.

• Vista next to Windows 7 on the same computer

  Is it possible to 'downgrade' to, or install Windows Vista, along with Windows7?
  It would solve my problem of username when FrontPage 2003 publishing.

  Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade or downgrade from Windows. Please post future questions about upgrading or downgrading in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads

  That being said...

  Yes, you could install Vista on a separate partition or in the Virtual Machine, but you would need a full retail version of Vista to do. And even in this case, you may experience problems with FrontPage 2003 under Vista if you install IE8.

  All in all, you would be probably better to use Publisher 2007 SP2 (or Publisher 2010, once it is beta) or even Expression Web 3 instead of FrontPage 2003 these days. It would probably be a cheaper option, too.
