• How to use a system image to restore my system Windows 8?

  Windows 8 has a feature that can create a system image, or a snapshot of the hard disk, which can be used to restore a system to the date and time that the image was made.  This may be an alternative method to the system recovery that leads him to an output of the State of the box.

  This new video will demonstrate how to create a system image and how to restore a system using this image.

  I hope this information is useful to some.

• When you try to restore the system using the system image, Windows 7 does not find the USB HDD.

  I have 3 computers backed up with their images of system on an external USB drive.

  However, when you try to restore a computer using system image, Windows 7 fails to find the USB HDD.

  I think it would be probably due to the fact that the WindowsImageBackup folder is probably not in the right place or a superfluous folder. Here's an example of how my disk backup has arranged record...

  Root for example E: /.

  -Computer #1

  - WindowsImageBackup
  -ComputerName #1

  -202348 backup 2016-05-29

  -Catalogue

  -SPPMetadataCache

  -MediaID (file)

  -Computer #2

  - WindowsImageBackup 
  -ComputerName #2

  -202348 backup 2016-05-29

  -Catalogue

  -SPPMetadataCache

  -MediaID (file)

  -Computer #3
  - WindowsImageBackup
  -ComputerName #3

  -202348 backup 2016-05-29

  -Catalogue

  -SPPMetadataCache

  -MediaID (file)

  I realize that the WindowsImageBackup folder should be at the origin, so I moved this computer folder #1 a less E:\

  However, restoration is unable to find it and can't even see the USB HDD.

  Can anyone offer advice on what I can hurt?

  Original title: restore the System Image

  Thank you all for responding with your advice and suggestions but the failure has been a bit of my doing (?).

  When I went to another port for the USB, everything worked fine! Simple solution, that I should have tried first - duh! :-)

  My USB 3.0 4TB drive was originally on a port USB 3 (which was either missing or not recognized by my Bios) and when I changed my old disk ports USB 2, everything has worked well!

  Thanks again, all...

• Try to use the System Image to migrate from Windows 7 for SSD for boot upward

  Hello

  I have a new computer Windows 7 operting.   I'm trying to migrate my OS to SSD for faster boots, etc..

  I first tried various 3rd party applications such as EaseUS Partition Master and Reflect, all futile for unknown reasons.

  Now I'm having problems using the built-in tool "Create a System Image" Windows 7.

  The Image of the system seems to be created properly and is listed in the appropriate folder.   The next step is to use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to save the ISO file, then use this ISO on the DSS file.

  Unfortunately, despite all that I've read to the contrary, the file created by windows wasn't an ISO... it saved as a VHD file.   The download tool cannot copy VHD - only ISOs.

  Microsoft technical support suggested that I have post the question.   All the patches?

  Thanks in advance!

  What happens when you boot the system repair disc?  If necessary, you will need to enter your BIOS Setup utility and make your optical drive the first boot device.

  You have created the system image includes everything: the files of your operating system, your application to the program folder and your data.  Assuming that you have already used your system for awhile and so Windows, your installed programs and files total user more than 128 GB, the image does not fit on the SSD.

  If everything except your totals of less than 128 GB user files, then a possible scenario would be to backup all your files from user to some external medium data, confirm that the backup is valid, and then delete the files from the current hard drive.  Then make an image of system of what's left (which is now less than 128 GB) and restore that image on the SSD.  You create a new user profile and then copy your files from backup data on disk 1 to and link to your user profile in the user data (see tip below).

  Another alternative, especially if you have more than 128 GB used even without your data, is to do a clean Windows 7 on SSD install, reinstall all your application files, specifying as much as possible of the facilities is located on the 1 TB drive and your profile link to the data of the user on the 1 TB drive.

  This trick of sevenforums.com can help with the problem of having windows on the SSD and your data on the disk rotation:

  If you are simply wanting to save files HARD disk space in your user folders, you might consider this below in order to access the files in your library with the actually located files where you want to place. This way you won't have to worry about the potential problems that come with mobile user folder locations.

  • Create a new folder to any location you want.
  • Move all the files you want in the new folder.
  • Include the new folder in a library of your choice.
  • If you wish, you can also set the new folder to be default 'save' for the location for the library as well

  To do a clean install of Windows 7 on your SSD, follow the instructions here to get a file ISO of Windows 7 to the same version of Windows 7 that is preinstalled on your computer: https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/67-microsoft-windows-and-office-iso-download-tool burn the image on a DVD (Note: you can not just copy the files, use the built-in tool to burn dvd of Windows 7 or free third-party tool like ImgBurn).  Use the product key from the label on your computer (not the key retrieved by using a key finder program) to activate Windows.  See https://techingiteasy.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/how-to-activate-windows-7-oem-license-using-a-retail-disc/

  If this all sounds complicated - it is, and I haven't provided all the details - you can consider getting the help of a local independent computer repair shop (not a chain of stores).  Just make sure you get a real installation of Windows 7.

• Updates to Windows System Image after restoration.

  I recently did a restore of the System Image on my XPS9100.

  The restore worked perfectly, but it set the return system 7 months and now I can't get Windows updates. Normally I use the setting: check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install. When I choose verify Windows Update I get the loading/control screen, and I have that let it run for at least an hour before finally changing the Windows Update settings never check updates and then close the computer just get the process ended. I realize that there will be many updates to install from the last 6 months, but it should it will not take long.

  Information system: Win 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1.  Intel Core i7 CPU - 960 3.20 GHz.  64-bit operating system and I currently have 1.72 free TB on the C: drive. My download speed is a fairly consistent Mbps 60.

  If I check under the put option to update installed, everything is up to 15/07/15 (when I did the disc from the System Image).

  Someone at - it any help?

  1. my computer had been black projection after idle for an hour session. The message on the screen says to press F1 to start, but has nothing else to scroll to the bottom of the screen with the same message. When this happened, the fan was very strong. The only way to stop the process has been to make a hard stop with the power button, or disconnect the whole system. Chrome has been loading slowly - nothing major, but noticeable...

  My efforts to remedy by restoring a system image backup failed.  At this point, I'm ready for a new clean install if I have to buy a drive to do.  My question is whether a professional Ultimate upgrade will or will not fix these bugs.  In addition, what is the cause of restoring the system to fail?  I never turned off or cannot create regular restore points.

• using a system image

  Hi guys,.
           
  I have a laptop ACER using windows7 ultimate, I took a picture of the laptop ACER system and stored on an external hard drive.

  I have a laptop DELL also System.* windows7 ultimate, can I take the image to an external hard drive and put it on the laptop of DELL (yes/no)? the ACER image cannot be used on the ACER laptop(yes/no)? Please let me know,

  Thanks for your time guys, bluesfloyd.

  Hello

  N °

  You cannot use the Acer Image on Dell machine.

  If Acer Recovery disk or the Acer System Image machine that you did is only for this Acer computer

  1. it is forbidden to transfer preinstalled OEM license to another machine.

  2. it would not probably start anyway due to the different motherboard drivers installed in the Acer System Image that the card mother Dell.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  If the machine came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

  The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

  License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  All that is in your partition recovery or recovery disks, most likely Windows 7.

• Detail of computer Vista Business 32 lost in hurricane. How can I reinstall and activate Vista to the new computer and use the backup image to restore files and programs on the new computer?

  Home built computer with Vista installed detail. I always have backups who intend to reinstall on the machine even if the HDD or MB went bad. Full image backup was on the hard drive of withdrawal which do not damaged. Never planned to lose computer any wave of sandstorm. I reinstalled on the same computer successfully before but never tried to migrate to a new computer.  Cannot uninstall Vista from your old computer, because it was submerged in salt water and died. I am not very well informed, but I can follow directions.  Thank you.

  You don't have to worry about uninstall on the destroyed computer, because it is not usable.

  And no message is sent when you uninstall any computer anyway.

  When you perform the Activation on the new computer, if you have problems of activation to the phone option I have included and do not take the road to auto answer, but brace yourself for a real person to talk to you.

• XP system backup and restore for XP Mode in Windows 7 Pro

  We have many customers finally replace their XP computers with new systems, but some require old software XP can easily be upgraded or replaced.

  We can always clone their slow HDD to a new SSD in a new system and repair the hard disk controller, but then they still run XP.

  Does anyone know of a Windows XP backup procedure (NTbackup, System Migration tool, Acronis image of the system, etc.) and then on a computer installed Windows 7 Pro with XP Mode, restore the backup to the computer in XP Mode?  In this way, they have Windows 7 for new software and can easily "initialize" their virtual XP machine?

  Would seek essentially to restore a mirror image of XP so that programs are intact.

  We could do something other than XP mode too - VirtualBox or VMWare would be nice too.

  Thanks in advance for your ideas.

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

• is there a way to restore a computer on which windows is it came with, if you go to another?

  If I have windows 7 starter edition on my laptop and a copy of windows Ultimate edition that I do not want to install. is there a way to roll back the windows Starter 7 if I don't like it?

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  I suggest before doing an upgrade Express of Windows 7 Ultimate, backup of your installation of Windows 7 Starter:

  Yes. Some updates are needed for the 8.1 update, so I would just leave your computer install what it needs.

• Upgrading laptop with ssd. Can I use a Windows 7 system image to install the new ssd?

  Bought nww laptop with Win 7 Home Premium 32-bit and the other pre-installed software. No records have been provided. I want to replace the hard drive with ssd. No other changes. I can create a system image on a dvd and physically swap the drives. I can then install Win 7 using the system image, I created? What other software (Microsoft and elsewhere)? If this is not the case, how can I do without having to buy new software?

  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.
