Possible To Install Laptop Hard Drive Into Desktop Then Move Windows Install To SSD?

Jan 15, 2016

I'm about to build my first desktop, and I have a laptop with Windows 10 (upgraded from 7 which it came with). I don't plan on using the laptop anymore, so is it possible to install the laptop's hard drive into the desktop then move the Windows install to an SSD? If not, should I just buy a Win10 key or would it be possible to contact Microsoft about transferring the OS over?

Installation :: Cannot Install Windows Update And Install DVD Won't Boot (to Repair)

Nov 14, 2015

My computer is trying to install Update to Windows 10 Home, version 1511, 10586, but can't. It claims there is no system reserved partition, but there is. This computer was upgraded from Windows 7 to 10, and immediately after doing that I installed a Samsung SSD and migrated the system to it using the software that came with the SSD. The migration went well and I've been using Windows 10 for months.

All of a sudden, when trying to do some updates it claims it cannot update the system reserved partition. The partition is there, it's 100MB in size. So I tried booting from the install CD, which I burned to do the upgrade (so I know it's a good disc). My computer recognizes there's a disc in the DVD drive, but no matter how I set the bios boot order it will not boot from the DVD, so I can't do a repair on the SSD.

Cannot Install Windows

Feb 2, 2016

I try to install a clean Win 10 Home 64bit from a USB-stick. When I point to the partition where I want to install Windows I get the following error message: ' Cannot install Windows on that disk. The selected disk has GPT-partition mode'. Do I have to convert that drive to MBR, if so how can I do that?

How To Install Windows On Same PC But Different Drive

Nov 18, 2015

I have a prebuilt computer that came with windows 8.1, it didn't come with an installation disc, or if it did i accidentally threw it away. So to find my windows product key i had to download magic jelly bean key finder. Now i right now have only a 500GB HDD, so i plan to add an SSD to run windows, and a few programs from. I don't want to copy the OS from my current drive over, i want to do a clean install of windows on the SSD. How would i do this?

Windows Does Not Detect HDD During Install

Apr 25, 2015

Instead of doing an upgrade of Windows in place, I am trying to do a install from the ISO using EasyBCD.The ISO launches fine as the setup starts but Windows refuses to see my HDD.I have an Elitebook 9470 laptop.

It uses the Intel storage drivers for AHCI and the HDD itself (Intel SSD)Bios is set to use UEFI Hybrid (With CSM).

BIOS can not use UEFI (without CSM) mode as the system does not boot.Tested using Legacy mode and still unable to see HDD. BIOS version is F60 (Jan 2015) and is the latest.

Windows Won't Boot Or Repair Install

Nov 21, 2015

Windows won't boot, and it also won't repair install, refresh, reinstall (Windows 10), chkdsk, boot repair etc. I have tried all these so unless anyone can think of anything else I will have to do a clean install and upgrade. I suspect the hard drive has failed though.

Installing New SSD With Clean Windows Install

Nov 9, 2015

When I got my computer in 2012, I used Windows' own mover to move all files and settings over. I didn't know that that was a bad idea, and so ended up with a corrupted profile and some bad settings.

I am finally ready to do something about it.

Here's my setup:

* Windows 10 (which I am loving, by the way)
* Two drives, C and D. C is my boot drive.

I want to format a new SSD drive with a clean Windows 10 install and then replace my existing C drive with that new drive. I know this means I will have to reinstall everything that is on my existing C drive, but I'm fine with that.

Here are my questions:

1. How can I format my new SSD drive with Windows 10 and get it set up as my new C drive? I have a USB connector for the new SSD drive so I can access it from a USB port first; can I use that connection to install Windows on the drive? The new SSD came with software to clone my existing C drive, but of course that is not what I want; I want a clean install to get away from the corrupted install. Can Windows recognize and format a drive connected through a USB port?

2. When I put my new drive C into my computer, how do I tell my computer that I want that to be my boot drive?

3. Once I get the new SSD installed as my new drive C, how do I format my old drive C as a drive E with Windows 10? Again, I am fine with wiping out everything on that drive once I have a new C.

4. I have a lot of programs installed on my D drive and want to keep them there. Will I need to reinstall them? (Again, if so, I'm fine with that.) Or would symlinks work?

No Install Button On Windows Store

Jul 30, 2015

So I've just upgraded to Windows 10 and I can't seem to install any apps from the store, there is no Install button? I click on an app(facebook for example), the facebook app page loads but no Install button appears. Also the blue loading dots just keep spinning and then the app crashes after a while.

I've tried everything from wsreset.exe to cleaning out the C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution folder. I've also tried refreshing the pc and deleting and re creating the user account with no success.

Failing To Install Windows In General

Nov 29, 2015

So I've had this computer for about a year now. I made it from used parts but in very good condition. Recently, I just turned it off, and when I turned it back on, an error popped up, something like winboot.exe, it doesn't really matter.

I tried to do a clean install of win 10 and win 7, and both times my SSD didn't have a partition.

I didn't delete it beforehand so it was weird.. And when I try to create a new one, an error pops up and I can't create it.. I did a clean install on a new HDD and the windows works, I just miss the boot speed..

How To Install Drivers Onto Windows 7 To Get Internet

Apr 3, 2016

as said above i own a windows 7 key and don't want to waste the time to get a 7 iso just to upgrade to windows 10 and i also will have a difficult time since i don't know how to install drivers onto windows 7 to get the internet for a z170 motherboard (it looked difficult) since windows 7 is legacy for the z170 chipset and it isint as simple as popping a disk in from what i saw(more of a glance).

Is There A Simple Way To Move Windows Install To SSD

Sep 28, 2015

I'm currently on a 1TB HDD (roughly 700GB used) and recently picked up a 120GB SSD for the OS and whatever game I am playing at the time. I've gotten mixed messages regarding the most efficient method to do this. I'm just thinking of creating an usb installer of Windows 10 and just installing it straight to the SSD and then deleting the windows files from the HDD.

Is there a simple way to move my windows install to the SSD? I can't clone my HDD since it is much larger then my SSD and I don't have enough storage to move enough data off of the HDD to get that down under 120GB.

Updates :: Will Windows Activate Itself If Do Clean Install

Sep 14, 2015

If I understood this : clearly, then does it mean that Windows will activate itself from some Windows activation servers that are somehow written into my hardware even if I do a clean install deleting everything in my Windows partition?

Also, since the built-in "Create a Recovery Drive" will take forever or display an error when ''Backup system files to the recovery drive' is checked", I'm trying to create an Installation media. But I'm stuck with which ISO I should download. Now, there's Windows 10, Windows 10 Single Language, Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Home N. I'm running Windows 10 Home at the moment. Which was upgraded from Windows 8.1(I think there was ''Single Language'' written after "8.1", not sure though). Which Version should I download. And if I install the wrong version by chance, will Windows still activate after I find out and install the right version? Please clarify these.... I'm really looking forward to do a clean-install to get rid of all the errors and bugs with drivers and just start over.

*DETAILS: Windows 10 Home Build 10240 [Upgraded via free upgrade, had an OEM version of Windows 8.1 when first bought]
