Move old windows

When I reinstalled Win7 almost everything in the Windows Old folder has already been registered on one hard drive, external, as I downloaded programs or other.  I just moved it from the C drive (a 128 GB SSD - I need all the space it can offer) on this external drive.  Are there potential problems with this?  I read that Windows has programs and programs (X 86, or other) files, no matter all of this old Windows folder is now on an external drive?

It is important all of this old Windows folder is now on an external drive?

No, it isn't, and since you wisely created a backup copy you are safe.

  • Can I move my Windows on a new hard drive?

    Here's the situation:

    I currently have a pretty old IDE hard drive, and I'm looking to upgrade to a new motherboard that does not all IDE ports. So basically I'd copy my current hard drive (Windows and all) in a more recent SATA one?

    If not, is there something I could do to move all my stuff on a new hard drive, even if I have to buy a new copy of Windows?

    Thanks in advance for any help, I'm pretty lost at this point.

    Look for a hard drive that suits. Note the manufacturer. Go to their website and download the software they provide for copying/cloning the old drive to the new. Use the new disk on your upgraded computer. You may need to do a telephone activation.

    Note that to do this and have an installation that can be enabled with the current number of product, your version of Windows Vista should be a commercial version and not an OEM version. OEM, those who come usually pre-installed on a PC, versions are valid only for the equipment on which they were originally installed.

    However, even if your original version was OEM, there are ways to proceed. Do the hardware upgrades. Install a new copy of details of the operating system of your choice. (This could be the opportunity to move to Windows 7 unless additional fees). Put your old drive in an external enclosure that accepts IDE (PATA) drives. Copy your files from the user on the newly targeted PC. You will need to install all the old applications.

    It's a pain in the underworld, but the performance improvements are generally well worth the effort.

    Good luck.

  • How to recover old windows view photoshop cc?

    Hey all,.

    It seems that someone else must have asked this question at some point... but here it is again, because I can't find the answer! The old view of windows PS was exactly what I need. (the option for one or more views of the same file in different windows not floating, located in the menu bar of the Center. Mine is in 5.1). He is not here in PS CC (in view by default or any other that I can find, anyway.) I really need to have it so that I can view and compare several slightly different versions of work of a file side by side, one above the other, etc.. It is also the easiest and simplest way to slide easily content from one computer to another, in my humble OPINION, but it is not the biggest problem. Forced to work with floating as windows only option are not something I'm willing to do. It happened almost to a point where it is the biggest single problem who wanted me to move to the CC.

    Is it possible to bring back this old windows display option? It is difficult to believe that he would not--I can't be the only person who needs it for the best workflow - but who knows... All thoughts and info appreciated.

  • Is it possible to only use the keyboard to move a window on the desktop?

    I have a lot of fun trying to do it all with just the keys and trackpad not.  One that I'm missing and it would be very useful would be to find a way to move windows with just the use of keys.  I expect the arrows would be involved, but to do something about the window I want to move.

    I believe you can use the best tool to touch (http://www.bettertouchtool.net) to assign keyboard shortcuts to move the windows.

  • move the window app with a finger slide

    Hello

    I lost a feature of my OS X (El Capitan) I really like and do not know how to bring it back. This feature allows to move a window from one space to another app just using one finger around any window title bar. He is still working on my Macbook, but not on my iMac. I guess you why. If anyone can help me.

    I never heard of 'one finger '; You can set to hang out with 'slide three fingers' in system preferences - > accessibility-> mouse and Trackpad-> Trackpad Options. Perhaps by comparing the settings that you have here and those in the system-> between your two Mac Trackpad preferences you can understand what is different.

    Or maybe you have a few add-on from third party that is installed on a mac, but not the other?

    Hello

    Method 1:

    In Windows Explorer, open the folder Windows.old.

    Find the users folder and find the username that you used before. If you had a download folder, then take a look at it also. (Downloads\my Documents, my music, my pictures, my videos)

    Browse documents, photos, music files and other downloads you want to keep.

    Tranfer of files that you have decided to keep in a folder outside the Windows.old folder.

    When you are finished, you can delete the Windows.old folder to reclaim the space.  Don't forget and the trash and inspect the files there. Once you have completed your inspection of the files in the trash, which you can click Empty trash.

    Method 2: (if the old files are not important to you)

    Click the Windows Orb-> all programs-> click on Accessories-> system folder-> disk cleanup tools. Who calls a dialog window. 


    Select the drive which contains the .old top files and click OK.

    Once complete the system scan, check the box to clean up the system files at the bottom of the dialog window.

    In the next dialog that opens, select the drive that contains the .old on new files and click OK.

    Your operating system will do another scan and present you with another dialog box containing a list of checkboxes.

    See the list and select the one that says older versions of windows and click OK. Should allow you to find some drive capacity.

    Best regards
