CLONE LENOVO HARD DRIVE TO SSD INSTALL

CLONE LENOVO HARD DRIVE TO SSD INSTALL

IF it is because you bought a OEM Windows 7 Install disk and you have lost your key there are ways to find your key and then reinstall windows and you are in every right, even under OEM, to reinstall windows and activate which will NOT be an issue (You only run into those issues with new Motherboards).īut yes you CAN do a fresh install of windows 10.

Not in any easy way that is.įirst of all if you have a STORE bought OEM PC then you may be able to get away with just cloning over the Boot (100MB) and Restore partitions and then do a system restore back to factory defaults. Please help me guys, I am kind of lost.īecause you have Bad Sectors you won't be able to clone it. This is the first time I have tried to use a new drive and transfer over the old data. Am I missing something here? Sorry for my ignorance. Would I be able to use that iso for a fresh install and still be able to get the data off this HDD?Īlso, when I check device manager, the ssd shows up, but I don't see it show up in 'Computer' next to my HDD. Windows 10 is coming out tomorrow and I think I'm supposed to get an ISO in the first couple of days of release. I can't do a fresh windows install because I don't have a disk and the key that this computer is under is an OEM key (oops). Is there any solution for me here? If I give it to the guys at Best Buy (where I bought the HDD) and have them replace it and recover the data, will they have any success? Keep in mind that I reduced the stuff on the HDD to the point where it would all fit on the SSD. My issue now is that I can't clone my old hdd to the ssd using Samsung's software because it said that the HDD has bad sectors (or something along those lines). I was able to get enough money to buy a 500gb Samsung 850 EVO by selling an old graphics card on craigslist. So my current storage device has had some issues.
