Move Windows 7 64Bit From 128GB SSD To 256 GB SSD?
Nov 7, 2011
I have Acronis home plus. In order to move everything from my 128GB SSD would I just use Acronis to backup the 128GB and then use an Acronis startup disk to restore the backupimage to the bigger SSD?What about programs that rely on "hardware" id for licensing?Or would it be more feasible to just move only FSX to the bigger SSD.?Wouldn't there still be problems for programsaddons such as aircraft.?There is that pesky registry. If I remove FSX from my "C" drive I regain ~75GBs of space. Right now I have 28GBs remaining.
1) move all of my current "C" to the bigger SSD
2) move only FSX to the bigger SSD
3 just reinstall FSX on the bigger SSD and,re-license everything again.( not what I want to do )What i am trying to avoid is reinstalling FSX?

Although I'm presently running with Win 7 32bit I want to move to Win 7 64bit. I have the upgrade disks (both 32 & 64 bit) I purchased to upgrade from Vista. I now realise I'll have to re-install Vista before I can then try the Win 7 64bit upgrade. So far I've tried booting my machine with the Vista recovery disk I have from the OEM, and at the point of "install" (when it came to the point of re-installing Vista)swapped it for the Win 7 64bit. I then hit the buffers with the install procedure not recognizing the drivers for the CD/DVD drive ........ which I found has an enormous thread all by itself on this site.I do have 2 other external drives (J: and L: ) and a partition on the disk K:, for users and data; will I need to copy the contents of the disk to one of these ?? Has anyone any experience of using upgrade disks to move from Vista 32bit to Win 7 64bit? Will this difficulty with the unrecognized CD/DVD drive be a showstopper ? Can the upgrade from Vista 32bit to Win 7 64bit actually be done? Is there a tutorial for this type of upgrade?

I purchased two 128BG USB Flash drives from Ebay that came from China, so i know they are not the best quality. But this is really weird. On one of them can only play four movies, if i copy a fifth movie or more, none of them or al of the rest will not play. The other USB is the same, but that one can hold and play nine movies not more. I tried formatting them the fast way and the long way.

I've got a Lenovo T410s with a 128 gig SSD & I want to create an image to then put straight on a new 256 gig SSD.I've tried Macrium Reflect (paid for version), but when I then put the drive in, it doesn't boot. Macrium only lets you select 1 partition at a time, so I tried going through it selecting the system drive, then the O/S drive (C), then the D Drive (data) and then the Lenovo recovery partition, but still when I remove the 128 and boot from the the 256-no joy.

My Dell XPS 8500 has an MSATA slot in which I have a 64 gb msata board which acts as the system and boot drive. I have just purchased a 128 gb msata board I want to install in place of the 64gb unit. My system also has a 1 tb main hard drive. I have tried a system restore DVD and Back/Restore, neither has worked at all. All I want to do is find a way to do a complete copy of the 64gb msata now installed and then replace it with the 128gb unit and copy over all of the data that was on the 64gb one. This way all I have done will be to have more storage available on my system drive, the msata drive.

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?

Windows Mobile Device Center doesn't work with Outlook 2010 if installed as 64 bit. Microsoft says to "fix" this by uninstalling Office 2010 and installing the 32 bit version!My question is are there any 3rd-party sync programs that will work with Windows 7 64 bit and Microsoft Office Outlook 64 bit and Windows Mobile 6.5 devices? I don't need to sync email but I do need to sync calendar, contacts, and tasks. And yes, I am aware that the iphone will sync with it! Silly Microsoft. I have 1.5 years left on my mobile contract with my Windows Mobile 6.5 phone?

My computer got the BootMGR is missing problem, which I have had in the past which is not that big. I insert the Windows 7 64 Ultimate disk it starts up everything fine, press repair my computer and it finds the installation. But when I press on it and next it has an error pop up saying "This version of system recovery options is not conpattble with the version of windows you are trying to repair. Try using a recovery disc that i compatible with this version of Windows." If I dont select anything but press next it allows me to look at the screen Im supposed to, but if I go to command prompt or click autmatically repair nothing will be saved or changed. This is the same disc I installed Windows with and repaired it several times. But I did have to reset BIOS earlier so this may have affected something.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

A friend upgraded from Vista to Win 7 last month using MS Upgrade (download). He now has the chance to move to a new(and better) pc. Can he use the Lic Key he got with the upgrade and install win 7 on the new pc? His present pc is an HP Desktop and I assume the original vista was OEM.

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.

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?)

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?

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.

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?

have an old 250GB HD with XP PRO on it and ALL my programs.
I have a NEW PC with win 7 PRO, now I want to ad the XP drive to the win7 box and boot ether from XP or Win7 from the boot screen (select ether XP OR Win7). I have google for hours all I was able to find was information on ONE Drive and then portion it and reinstall an OS.
I do not want to portion anything or reinstall any OS I just would like to DUEL BOOT. Both HD are Sata Drives. I do not have Win7 CD as it is in on the recovery portion. I would like to know what files are needed and were to put them (what Drive) in order to duel boot.

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.

I have my taskbar on the right side of the screen. I have gadgets (network meter, and CPU usage) to the left of the taskbar. I added the Drives Meter gadget and it popped to the left of the taskbar, top of the screen. I want all my gadgets at the bottom of the screen, stacked to the left of the taskbar, but they won't move.
