Read the info above from Ms.

You can't move programs from one computer to the other.

Programs must be reinstallled starting from the original (CD, DVD or downloads).

Simplest is to transfer files to copy files to a Flash Drive > transfer this way.

Or burn data to CD and transfer this way:

    How you would normally do it is:

  • How to back up and restore the system and program files to install new OS

    Hey all,.

    I recently bought a new Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive. My old WD 1 TB HARD drive was giving me the end. occasionally, I get the BSOD. In addition, on occasion, when I restart the computer it automatically runs chkdsk program and reported several bad clusters. However the chkdsk program never seems to report the bad clusters, so periodically, when I restart, it runs and bring back them again.

    I would like to the image or to back up all the files on my HARD drive problem, then do a fresh install of Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit (my current operating system) to the new HARD disk, and then restore the clone or image system and program files on the new HARD drive. I don't want to go through the process of reinstall all again, when everything seems to work very well. Given that the image of Win 7 program makes and accurate picture of the HARD drive, then use this program would cause the new installation of Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit to be replaced by the restoration of the image. Therefore, if there should be corrupted data under a bad cluster of old HARD drive, that data would not be transferred and my existing problem would be transferred to the new HARD drive.

    On the other hand, if I do a clone of disc, I'm not sure that existing programs would continue to operate on the new HARD drive and would require a new install of each program based on the new installation of the operating system Win 7! I would have then lost my time to make a transfer of program/data files to my newly formatted and freshly installed OS.

    Anyone know of any program (Acronis True Image, Paragon, Norton Ghost, Macrium Reflect, etc) that will allow you to image or clone the program and data (including the operational needs of the files such as: Win32 system files, files of activation, etc.) so that they will work properly on the new installation of the operating system?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have a great day.

    "Questionable" disk formatting can hide bad sectors or replaces the original format.  It is not known if / when bad sectors could / will reappear.

    If you have a player that you suspect problems, find advanced manufacturer of the car diagnostic tools.  Go to WD wdc.com website and get their diagnostic tools Data LifeGuard, to 'really' to test your drive.

    How can I transfer acrobat adobe XI on a new laptop computer?

    You do not transfer.  You need to install Adobe applications, using the installation files.

  • Digital rights after the transfer of music files on the new office.

    I'm sure this has been asked before, so I apologize for the duplication, but I don't even know where to start looking.  I recently bought a new desktop computer with Windows 7.  This platform is an upgrade to my previous Vista PC.  This computer has more than 1000 songs purchased through Amazon, old Yahoo and even more old Music game platforms.  No problem burning CDs from the old pc.  However, after transferring my files to my new pc, none of the songs I downloaded play, instead, I get a message do not have DRM.  What I have to go back to my old pc and burn each song on a cd, or y at - it an easier way to put them on my new desktop PC?  Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jcmcn5,

    Welcome to Microsoft Windows 7 answers Forum!

    To resolve this issue, reset the DRM Bank on the computer. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. If Windows Media Player 12 is running, quit Windows Media Player 12.

    2. Locate the DRM folder on the hard disk, and then rename the folder to DRMbackup DRM.

    Note By default, this folder is located in the following location in Windows 7:

    \ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM

    3. visit the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

    http://drmlicense.one.Microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp

    4. follow the instructions on the website to update the safety component of Windows Media Player 12. This procedure allows you to obtain new licenses for media content. You can also reset licenses for purchased content so that you can play that content on a computer.

    Note On a Windows 7 computer, you must run Internet Explorer as an administrator before update you the safety component of Windows Media Player 12. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. click Startand then click all programs.

    b. right click on Internet Explorerand then click run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click continue.

    Note You must contact any third-party stores where you purchased music to reset the licenses for that music. If you copied CDs for protected Windows Media Audio files, the CD must be copied again.

  • How can I move all my program files to a new hard drive?

    Hello!


    I just bought a new 1 TB HDD and I want to be able to move all my program files and documents from my C: drive to my new hard drive...
    How can I do this without having to reinstall? is it possible to make a kind of "shortcut" to the new HDD in C: files so that the internal files and settings are not modified or whatnot...

    You can move all your documents without problem, but not your
    installed programs. This is because there are a lot of references, in the
    Registry and elsewhere in \Windows, where programs are.

    There are a few third party programs that can get to those
    references and supposedly change them for you, but my experience
    try these programs is that none of them are perfect and use one of
    them is likely to create problems with some programs.

    Therefore, it is best to reinstall programs.

  • Why are there two program files on my new Dell with Windows 7 Prof? Program Files and program (x 86)?

    Is there a difference?  What type of programs are each?

    This means that the 64 bit version of Windows 7 is installed on your Dell PC. 64-bit Windows 7 can also run applications 32 bits (certainly not 16-bit!). When programs are installed, 64-bit programs will install under the "Program Files" folder while 32-bit programs will install in the "Program Files (x 86)" folder I hope this explains. samc1

  • Old hard drive files to the new laptop, problem of promise.

    How to move files from my old hard drive to my new computer?

    My old HP laptop dv1010 (Windows XP) has stopped working. The reason why it has stopped working is likely a defective power supply.

    I remove the hard drive from the dv1010 and linked to my new HP laptop dv7 - 6143cl with a Unitek Y-1031 USB2.0 to IDE.

    I have no problem, see the file with Windows 7 using the 'computer' link in the start menu. But I can't open one because of the permissions windows opens.

    Yet once how can I move files from my old hard drive to my new computer?

    Hello

    It is a utility that will add "Take Ownership" to the contextual right click menu.  The download is on the following link.

    Appropriating

    It is a zipped file.  If you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip , which can be used to open it so that you can run the Setup program.  Then just right click the folder zipped, select 7 - Zip and extract the files.  When you're done, open the newly extracted folder and you can find the utility to add "Take Ownership" to the right click menu.  Double-click it to install it and then close the window.  You should now be able to right click on the files you need to access and select Take Ownership.

  • Windows easy transfer. I can't use transfer to move files to the new computer

    I used windows easy transfer to back up my files to an external hard drive before doing a clean install of windows 7, XP.

    I am unable to find any "windows easy transfer" files on the hard drive for transfer to the new computer.

    ALL the files from my old computer are there and I am able to access it from the external hard drive.

    Please tell me there is an easy way to transfer files and I don't have to do it manually.

    What is the error message when you try to restore files in Windows 7?

    Also, did you really use the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard to back up your files or did you use the built in the files and Settings Transfer wizard in Windows XP? If you used the files and Settings Transfer Wizard, that won't work no.

    You must install Windows Easy Transfer on Windows XP, save the files as one. MIG file on your external drive, restore it on the Windows 7 computer. See for instructions:
