Move Windows 7 From HDD To SSD?

Nov 28, 2012

I have a 1TB drive with win7 installed on it, as well as various other applications. I just bought a 120GB SSD and want to move my OS over to it, but leave all the other files on the HDD. Is there a way I can do this without having to reinstall all my applications?

Cards Don't Move When Try To Move Them

Aug 20, 2011

Win 7 Freecell "sticks" The cards don't move when you try to move them. If you keep trying you get the message "freecell is not responding" or "problem with freecell executable". Could this have anything to do with a recent Norton upgrade? I have tried turning windows games on and off and it doesn't help. If so, where can I get a clean reinstall?

Move Windows 7 From One Drive To Another?

Dec 16, 2011

I have used many cloning software.

- Macrium Reflect
- EaseUS Disk Copy & Todo Backup
- RoboCopy
- Paragon Backup & Recovery

I'd like to move Windows from one drive to another without backing up THEN restoring. This is an extra step that I consider unnecessary.RoboCopy ALMOST did it correctly. But it corrupted the Outlook Registry. Microsoft recommended to uninstall and re-install Office.

Cannot Move Apps Around In Windows 7

Aug 18, 2011

[URL]

You cannot move appp around in windows as windows makes DLL files and registry entry and moving it will break it.Also Microsoft wants people to use shortcuts and moving apps will break the shortcuts of path of the files.

In OS X all files needed to to run the app are glued with the app and in windows you must run the installer to make the directory where it will copy all files to run the app ,make path ,make the shortcuts and DLL files and registry entry .

Moving files around break the DLL files and registry entry .Part of this is to stop illegal copying.In windows people use the installer to remove or install app we never move app around like in OS X .

Also most time apps have to run in system level in windows not like OS X It is not the scopes of Linux ,windows ,OS X security myths but the thread got little of topic of talking about moving appp around in windows and other OS.

Could Not Move Windows 7 Hdd To Dell Box.

Jun 12, 2012

The power supply went out on my Win 7 box(custom built) and so I decided to put it into my granddaughter's Dell box which was running Win XP. I unplugged the XP hdd, plugged in the Win 7 hdd, but it will not complete opening Windows.I've tried using a Win 7 Recovery CD, but none of the 3 I have will boot! So, I used the Win 7 DVD and can get to the install screen, where I've tried the 'repair' option. But, that gives a message that it is unable to repair the computer.

Move Windows 7 Over To My Laptop?

Nov 22, 2011

I have asked in another post about getting my daughters computer working for her whilst she is overseas. I have 2 legitimate windows discs 1 is xp and the other is win 7. I have a new laptop with win 7 on it so I don't really have to have it loaded on my experimental machine. Can I delete win 7 from my machine and put it on her laptop. Or the same with the xp disc. It has become redundant any way and is sitting in a cupboard gathering dust. 2 legit discs and product keys. Can I move them to other machines?

Move Windows 7 From P4 To Pentium D

Aug 25, 2012

About a year ago, our Pentium D died and I was able to retain a few pieces from the machine, enough actually to rebuild it shortly.

My main question is this: I already tried moving Win 7 Home Premium 32bit from the Pentium D to the Pentium 4 and the hard drive crashed and with some heavy research, I discovered that this was not possible without a nuke and restart.

Please tell me there is some way to go from the P4 to the Pentium D when i rebuild it in a few weeks...? I've been reading that it may be possible if I uninstall all the drivers in safe mode and then move the hard drive to the Pentium D. I've also read that this is not possible with OEM versions, I just double-checked and our copy is retail upgrade from XP.

Move Windows 7 From Old Computer To A New One?

Jan 1, 2013

is it possible to move win 7 home premium 32bit from my current computer into a new one onto an ssd (the ssd will be brand new and have nothing on it) and then upgrade it to 64bit?

becuase the new motherboard has UEFI (Gigabyte SKT-1155 Z77-DS3H ) i was thinking if i may be able to do the UEFI bootable usb drive tutorial UEFI Bootable USB Flash Drive - Create in Windows then install with that but im not sure how i would upgrade to 64bit in that process or if it will even work. UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) - Install Windows 7 with and i also want a fresh install but would like to keep some of the files on my system like steam games, skype etc.

How To Move Windows 7 From D Partition To C

Jun 24, 2010

Installed Windows 7 but accidentally did it on the d: drive. Now have dual OS - Vista and Win 7. Want to keep Win 7. Have read many threads on how to get rid of Vista partition by moving boot folder from Vista to win 7 first but after doing so and going to disc mgt it says it's using info from C: when I try to re-format the volume. Essentially here's my issue: I want Win 7 to be on the C: partition, not the D: because D: is listed as a recovery partition with limited space. How can I do that? (or can I?)

Move Folder From XP To Windows 7?

Apr 9, 2011

I have 4 PCs network in Windows 7. A is primary Windows 7. B is win 7 networked. C is XP on Windows 7 network, and D is XP on Windows 7 network. I have a folder on C(XP) that is shared on the network and can be accessed from A, B and D. I want to delete that folder on the XP (C) and put it on A (Windows 7) to be shared on the network. Copied it to USB drive. Copied it from USB to A (Windows 7) HD. When I open the program that uses the files in the transferred folder, A (Windows 7) cannot find the folder/files on A that I copied. It looks for the old networked location on C, which is not there (deleted after copied). How do I stop the program from looking on C (XP) and find on A (Windows 7)? When I try to open the program on A(Windows 7) it will NOT let me go to ANY other folder except the shared folder on the C (XP) PC which no longer exists.

I have a laptop that I bought from a highstreet shop that came with win 7 already installed. It didn't come with the disks or anything though. Now, I am probably going to buy another laptop and was wondering if there was anyway to move the OS over? I will be moving the HDDs across from one laptop to another, will I just be able to boot from the primary HDD that has the OS on it?

How To Move Documents In Windows 7

My 6 year old Dell crashed. It used Windows XP. I bought a new H-P and it has Windows 7. I can't make heads or tails of the video tutorials. I bought "Windows 7, Quick Steps, and it's beyond me, too. I need a: first point cursor at.., then left-click mouse...I had to mark, "Configuration & Customization" but maybe "General Discussion" would have been better. See what I mean, I lack vocabulary.

Looking To Move Windows 7 OS To A New Computer?

Oct 6, 2011

I currently have a MacBook Pro running MacOS 10.4.somethingsomething.I also use BootCamp to dualboot into Windows 7 64bit Ultimate version.Here is where i could really use your help & advice:I am planning on building my own PC this holiday season and, since i am a college kid on a budget, i would rather not have to spend the $100 or so to purchase another copy of Windows. Therefore, I am looking to transfer my entire OS (files, drivers, and all) to this new system. What would be the easiest way to do this?Here is my thought process so far:

1. purchase a 500GB+ external Hard Drive

2. back up (create an image of) my current Windows partition onto said drive

3. assemble new computer and restore the image from the external Hard Drive
(this is the step i am most unsure of how to proceed!!)

Could you guys let me know if totally off-base here as far as how to complete this task as painlessly as possible?

How To Move Files In Windows 7

Jan 10, 2010

how to 'move' files within Windows 7? Shouldn't there be a 'move' choice within the drop down menu? I am using 'copy and paste' to move files now to my desired folder. But then I must go back to the original folder and delete the file from there since it was only copied and not moved.

How To Move Program Windows Uniformly

Jan 27, 2011

I use applications that involve multiple windows, specifically I thought of this while using MathCAD. A common example I can think of for a program like this is GIMP where all your toolbars are separate windows. I also use 2 monitors to work on. So is there a way in general that when I move a main program windows from one monitor to another all the other windows controlled by that program (guess I will call them slave windows) will come with it and maintain their position relative to the main program window?Alternately is there a way to select multiple windows at one time so when I move them they all move uniformly relative to one another. I just really hate having to move 6 windows sometimes when I want to swap monitors with one program.

Use Paragon Migrate To Move Windows 7 From HDD To SSD?

Jul 30, 2012

I've been trying to use Paragon migrate to move Windows 7 from HDD to SSD. Apparently there is something wrong with my "boot records of partitions" according to Paragon tech support and that is why Migrate doesn't do the job. They want me to use the following on my HDD to try and fix it.

- Create Windows 7 Repair Disc (Control Panel - Backup & Restore - Create a system repair disc)

- Select Use recovery tools and then select Recovery console from recovery tools menu

- type the next commands:

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootsect /nt60 all

can that mess my booting of Windows in any way, as thus far my Windows 7 work fine? Is there a way to check the health of "boot records of partitions" without these commands, as I fear it will just replace it and that might cause Windows be unstable.
