Move windows in Windows 7

I have a new HP Pavilion p6240f I used for about a week.  I discovered that Windows 7 is a new feature which is really annoying.  When you minimize a window and drag it to the top or the side of the screen so you can watch another window, the window moving automatically 'fixed' on the edge of the desk and expands... usually a lot bigger.  I want to know how to disable this feature.  When I move windows autour, I want to stay where I put them, and if I want them more, I enlarge them myself.  (I usually hate it when my computer thinks he knows what I want better than I do and change stuff without asking me.)

Thank you.

Thanks for the info.  I didn't know what the function was called, so I couldn't do a search for it.  I didn't notice the part "shake".  I love how the minimized windows piling up under the IE icon, and when I move the cursor on the icon I get these small preview windows.  I'll play with it some more, but I have a feeling I'm going to turn it off.  I guess I'm just a guy a bit of gear.

I see there are a few other videos covering the other new features of Windows 7, so I'll be watching for those too.  I had XP on my old desk, and I'm getting used to 7 pretty quickly.  I like better than XP, and it's much, much better than Vista.  I have Vista on my laptop, and I will definitely be upgrading.  Win7 is much more intuative.  I have very little trouble to know where things are.

Thanks again.

    I have to manually install the driver for Aspire ZC-102, updates when I move Windows 8 to 10?

    I was struggling with this ACER for more than a year. I have do it I have back when it was still under warranty, 14 months ago. Now I've updated free online through Microsoft for Windows 10 back in early August. I had hoped that my mess was a stack of the operating system, but unfortunately, it's still a piece. However, there is no virus. I run Malwarebytes Pro full time with it has quarantined of PUPPIES as well as McAfee Anti Virus full time. I use cCleaner to keep cut up. I NEVER garguillo or browsed porn.
    I've got max 16 GB of RAM. I have very few applications other than Office 2013.

    Even if this thing was a room at the time where it was running Windows 8 and 8.1, so I want to try to make it work on Windows 10 without having to start over with a clean install. That's why I asked about the drivers.

    your ZC-102 will not have a direct drivers updated from Acer support, which means you have to rely on Windows Update by itself the drivers or get them by yourself.

    Let me give you 3 Tips:

    1) never use Registry cleaners Windows 8.x and above all, they are no longer needed

    (2) uninstall McAfee, he kills the performance of your machine, use the antivirus windows integrated, it is good and very light

    (3) If you require loading time fast on programs, think about an SSD upgrade

  • How can I move windows 7 (not OE), to another machine after upgrade to windows 10?

    I have a machine that has Windows 7 Ultimate installed on it, as a clean install from a CD with a code.  I upgraded this Windows 10 machine and I want to spend the nec plus ultra 7 to another machine.  How to "Uninstall" or "Turn off" Windows 7 in the computer being upgraded so that I can activate it on another computer after a clean install?

    If you upgrade Windows 7 Ultimate edition free update of Windows 10, you cannot move Windows 7 Ultimate edition to another machine because the free update used Windows 7 Ultimate edition as an eligible basic license.

    Only if you have installed a full version of Windows 10 license would you be able to transfer the license of Windows 7 to a new computer.

    Otherwise, you will need to purchase a new license of Windows 7.

  • How can I move Windows 7 on a disk with data on it?

    I am running Windows 7 with 64 bit.

    My C: drive is a 223 GB SSD;

    My E: drive is a 931 GB hard drive.

    I want to leave Windows the SSD to the larger hard drive to free up the SSD for the exclusive use of my photo software.

    I found the instructions on moving of Windows on a NEW drive, but not to move it to a drive with the data on it.

    I can do this and if so, how?

    Thank you for your suggestions, you can offer.

    Very respectfully,.

    Larry

    You will not be able to move it to a drive with the data on it. You will need to save everything that is on the E: drive to an external hard disk, uninstall the SSD and reinstall the HARD disk as the default drive and then restore a backup image of the installation on the SSD hard disk.

    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:

  • Satellite A100-216: can I move Windows.old for drive external HARD

    Hello

    I got my satellite A100-216 almost 12 months, (and I'm pleassed with it, incidentally), and bought with XP, but she has the option (taken) to get the upgrade to Vista Home Premium.

    I have finally plucked courage to Vista and have a question.

    In the book, it says that the hard drive will be completely erased, and all must be safeguarded. OK - did this.
    It lights up during loading to say that only a full upgrade is possible and that the old windows will be stored in a folder called "Windows.old" even if the operating system will be unusable.
    There seemed no option but to agree with what is happening and lo and here is the record + Windows.old + is here, and it's * Gb * 6 in size!

    After saving everything, can I really keep this large amount of things on my HARD drive. I can move it on my external hard drive?

    The capacity of the HARD drive, (nominally 100 GB) but showing 93Gb shows 24,6 now used by Vista without other programs or drivers installed.

    If I remove this 6 GB, I'll have a more reasonable 75 GB to play with.

    The other option would have been to start on an OEM XP disk, opt for delete and re-create a primary partition and load Vista from there after the format. Would it be: r: work and B: use less space.

    If the 6 GB file is all that it would save, I'll just save it on my external HARD drive.

    Thanks :)

    Hi Dave,.

    The Windows.old folder is a backup of your files/folders/settings of your XP system etc.

    It is automatically created during the process of update for Vista and is designed as a quick way to return to the earlier version of the operating system if you need to do. \obviously its value will decrease over time, once you start using Vista, because different files will become obsolete with the use.

    The normal procedure is to remove these backup files "shadow", once you are happy that Vista is not working properly and there is an option to do it for you in the utiliy Vista disk cleanup.

  • Move Windows 7 from one computer to the other.

    I installed Windows 7 on my desktop, but would prefer to have on my laptop.  How can I disable on my desktop to install on my laptop?  The Office has been an update to XP.  I have so that I can boot XP as a dual boot.

    If it is a license to retail - Yes, you can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time. The previous installation of Windows 7 must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turn on the second computer will automatically deactivate the license for the first computer. The key works with 32 and 64 bit, but can only be installed at a time.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses are bound to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer.

    I have so that I can boot XP as a dual boot.

    For a double start requires a full Windows 7 license, not a license upgrade.

  • Add a hard drive (SSD) and move windows with partition

    Hi all

    I'm running Windows 7 on a new PC, I built.  Current record
    Intel i7 3.5 GHz
    16 GB OF RAM
    HDD WD 1 TB
    I added a 256 GB SSD and another 1 TB HARD drive to the system (they will be here Wednesday), and I'm looking for more articles on how to move the operating system for the SSD.  It seems that most people replace their HDD rather than add to their systems, so I'm not the answers I want exactly.
    I want to move the operating system for the SSD (and partition such that I can also install Ubuntu 12.10 on it, which was also a giant headache for me today... but this isn't the venue...)  while keeping many programs (games, mainly) and storage on the HARD drive.  I saw some instructables on how use a 3rd party backup/restore to move everything...  My question is, what is lost by simply reinstalling windows for the new SSD and then uninstall the old HD?  Is this all simply impossible to install two instances of windows on a single computer bootable?  Or that would result in all my programs does not not on the new installation?
    Otherwise, the windows7 install disc will allow me to reinstall it on the new drive as a replacement/installation action?  I was under the impression that everything would be kept and still accessible in old "windows" folder after such facilities.
    Thank you.

    Hi spectrum,

    Thanks for the reply.

    As suggested above, to create a Windows 7 image and save the image on the external drive (do not save in the new hard drive). Once you install windows 7 on new hard drive, you can restore the windows image 7.
