Solve : How to install an SSD and transfer Windows Vista to it.? |
|
Answer» Hi, Basically I bought an SSD to use for my OS and games. I currently have a 465GB hard drive that has my OS on it. I would like to install the SSD and put the OS on it and only use it for games, and use the HD for everything else. What would be the easiest way to do this? Thanks in advance for any help. http://lifehacker.com/5517688/how-to-upgrade-your-tiny-hard-drive-to-a-spacious-new-one-and-keep-your-data-intact I would draw your attention to the title of your post. ``How to install an SSD and transfer Windows Vista to it.`` The 2 members that have answered you have addressed exactly that desire. Now you are intimidated by the process and are changing the question. Yes you can do the `new`option you suggest but it is NOT without it`s own risks.If you do the reinstall on the SSD it may not work due to some user error and if you had already wiped the old HDD that could create issues with formatting and partitioning etc. Both methods can be used but one does not necessarily guaranty success over the other. If i may suggest why not stick with your original intent and read the articles that were offered. BEFORE implementing them come back and resolve any parts (if any) that you find confusing and members will be glad to try and clarify them.truenorthI guess if you feel that the links provided are simpler than the method I asked about I'll GIVE it some more THOUGHT. Just be prepared for alot of questions, haha. truenorth hs given a very good response. Someone should mention that Widows OS prefers to be on a Hard Drive and has been optimized for that kind of hardware. This link below is about Windows 7. But the concepts apply. Storage - Windows 7 gets a thorough SSD optimization guide OK, time for an UPDATE. After reading (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/149969-ssd-install-transfer-operating-system.html) I chose to go the "easy" route of purchasing the Paragon "Migrate OS to SSD" software. The only file that I migrated was my Windows file. Everything seems to be working fine, except for a couple things. When windows loads I get an error saying "User profile was not loaded CORRECTLY. You have been logged on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off. Please see the event log for details or contact your administrator". My other problem is none of my internet browsers can connect to the internet. My internet connection is good, and my computer can download updates through windows update, but I can't get the browsers to work. Thanks in advance for any and all help.Did you try re-installing rhe drivers after this operation ? ? MBoard chipset drivers go 1st.
