• Install Windows 7 on the new hard drive with USB operating system recovery?

  I have an Alienware 2015 15 which does not come with a CD player. I install a new hard drive (SSD 2280 m2), so the question is how to install WIndows 7.

  While Microsoft offers an OS IOS for WIndows 8 download that you can put on a USB (with dell, I think that it automatically pulls the product key of BONE off the coast of the motherboard?) this IOS download is not available for Windows 7.

  So the question is the recovery USB OS offered by dell will allow me to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new hard drive in the laptop even USB from recovery of the BONES came with. My last resort is to buy a new copy of windows 7 and a USB external CD/DVD drive.

  TLDR: OS Recovery USB offered by dell will install Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

  The factory restore USB will work on another drive. I did this procedure with the media created from the latest version of Dell backup and restore on my Inspiron 13 7347 and demonstrated the creation of media and installation on a new SSD:

  Since you are using use Alienware Alienware Respawn. Alienware respawn is very similar to Dell backup and restore.

• Upgrade to Windows 8, but I need to install a new hard drive first

  Hello

  I'll be upgrading my laptop's current (under Windows 7 Pro) to Windows 8 Pro for $40 on October 26. Before you install Windows 8, I'm going to install a new hard drive in my computer. I need some help on how I can do this...

  Is it possible for me to install the new drive hard while I am upgrading. I plan to do a clean install anything. If so, how should I go to?

  Thank you very much for your answer.

  Mike

  Create the backup of the image that your computer is now (with Windows 7) before installing Windows 8. If anything should go wrong then just restore Windows 7.

  I would like to disconnect the LAN cable and any other unnecessary internal or external device before the upgrade. If all goes well then connect the local network and activate Windows 8.

• Windows 'Easy Transfer' to new hard drive?

  I have a desktop computer Inspiron 530 with XP Pro and you need to install a new hard drive.
  My question is can I install the new hard drive in the empty under my old hard drive, plug it in and run Windows Easy Transfer directly from my old HDD to the new HDD? Then I could delete the old and move a normal nine until the slot C:\.
  Or, what I have to do it with an external media such as a USB device?

  Windows Easy Transfer can read files in Windows XP, but may not restore on Windows XP.  And no, you can't run it on a disk that is installed, but not on Windows.  Anyway, the answer is no.

  I have a gateway that I bought at wal-mart about two years ago, it was windows vista Basic.  The hard drive is failling and I am wanting to install a new hard drive but the laptop didn't come with a cd of the operating system.  Is it possible to copy the old drive to the new so that I don't lose all the files and I didn't buy a new operating system?  Also I can do this with a USB key, do not know how to connect two internal hard drives at the same time.  I would like to as cheap as possible but need to do anyway.  Thank you

  Hey rcfball66

  You can always buy a gateway vista recovery disk to reinstall vista back to the factory with the new drive settings

  They provide at a nominal cost

  manufacturers of hard drive normally supplies free software to their Web sites for the movement of the operating systems of the old hard drive to the new hard disk cloning you buy home

  You can also use programs third 3rd to do this, or upgrade Vista Home Basic vista full for pc full upward

  but you can normally buy 3rd party programs

  read below information about such a program

  Original title: new hard drive

  Please forgive me if this has been requested, however I have a new hard drive sent me as mine is a failure and I will need to reinstall Windows 8 on it. Now, I know that I have to reinstall first 7 victories but my question is that I have to install drivers after that or I can just install windows 7 and then continue to the windows installation 8.

  6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  You can pass it to install the drivers.

  The same key will work.

  Option 2:

  First, create a backup of your installation of Windows 8 on an external hard drive:

  http://techingiteasy.WordPress.com/2012/10/29/how-to-backup-your-Windows-8-installation/

  Then, create a repair disk:

  Once the restore is complete, you will be asked to reboot.

• Install the new hard drive - how to proceed?

  My hard drive has bad sectors which (according to Spinrite) is not repairable.  I also ran all the HP utilities who tell me that the hard drive needs to be replaced.  So, I bought a new one that is the same size and the brand as what exists currently in my laptop.

  Laptop is HDX16 that came with Vista.  I upgraded to Win7 before realizing that my Imaging backups were a failure due to bad sectors.  The last good picture I have with Shadow Protect is the system with Vista and is now 3 weeks old.  Meanwhile, I use Norton Security backup feature to back up all my files on a daily basis.   I noticed yesterday that Win7 has a built-in backup feature imagery so decided to see if she would complete successfully and he did.  So now, I have a picture of the Win7 installation as well.

  I did system recovery disks for my laptop.  If I read information of HP correctly, when I run the restore, it will automatically create the partitions C & D on the new drive, install the recovery disk D environment and continues to run since that installation of Vista hard disk?  If so, once the operating system is running on the hard drive again, I think I can then move to Win7 yet and then use the recovery feature to copy the image, I made yesterday to the laptop.  Is this correct?  Am I missing something?

  Otherwise, my other option would be to run the recovery discs, then use the Shadow protect recovery disks to copy the old image of 3 weeks, then switch to Win7 again and somehow find all the files I have created/changed over the last 3 weeks I want to keep and they copy to the laptop?

  Any suggestions appreciated because this is the first time I installed a new hard drive.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It may be faster to simply restore the image of Windows 7 that you have created the new hard - to do this, you'll need to the Image and a Windows 7 repair CD (you should have been prompted to do this after you have created the Image of the system).  The link below is a guide detailing how to restore an Image of Windows 7 on a new hard drive.
