Hi Admin, bought recently new computer With a four-core processor and two guing video card and now I want to transfer Windows 7 with a hard disk from the old computer to a new one. The only thing that confuses, on the old and on the new computer, different motherboards and different processors, still in my Windows 7 there are two users, that is, two accounts are my and younger brother. And my brother has a lot of installed programs, I would like transfer windows 7 to another computer together with existing accounts, installed programs and personal files.
Your article read and now I think to apply this method for Windows 7, since the Sysprep utility is present both in Windows 7 and in Windows 8. I think everything will work out, only I worry - Whether Windows will be transferred and the installed software, all the same motherboard!
And another question - and if I need to transfer Windows 7 completely to another computer with another hDD. How to act in this case?

How to transfer Windows 7 to another computer

Hello, friends! Make it very easily and does not depend on how many accounts you have in the system. To transfer, we apply the SYSPREP built-in in Windows 7 designed specifically in order to prepare customized image of Windows. Together with the installed programs to transfer to another computer (preferably with similar architecture). For those who want to fully transfer the customized operating system to another computer, there are also information in this article.

• Note : If you are interested in the article, visit the special section where they are collected with one hard disk another.
• If you have a laptop, you may use articles.

For example, let's post Windows 7 from my old workflow to a new one with a four-core processor. On my old and new computer, too, different motherboards and different processors. Will Windows transferred? Let's hope in most cases this method It works even if on the computer in which we want to transfer Windows 7, a completely different iron is installed.
In my Windows 7, there are also two ALEX records (Administrator) and "Andrey" (a simple account) and they must both be successfully operated after the system transfer to another computer. Almost all installed programs will be launched and will work. Note: Before starting the process of transferring Windows 7, I recommend you to be reinforced and, if something goes wrong, you can recover from this image.
And even if you have installed programs Daemon Tools., Alcohol 120%, or Ultraiso I recommend to delete them, it would not be superfluous to remove the antivirus, since if you do not do, the Windows error may occur when transferring it. To resume settings, restart the computer. "In some cases it costs to restart the computer and the error will disappear.

So, run the command prompt on behalf of the administrator and enter the SLMGR / DLV command,

A window occurs in it, we can see the remaining amount of Windows transfer to other computers.

System preparation program window.

I exhibit everything as on the symbol and click OK.

1. Translation of the system to Oobe mode - transfer mode operating system Activated with the next system startup.
2. Preparation for use - from the system will remove all data that should not be copied together with the image (SID identifiers), activation information, and so on), but installed programs should be transferred without special difficulties.
Windows 7 is preparing to transfer to another computer for a few minutes, then the computer turns off.

Note:, then deploy this distribution seven can be successful to other computers, the only thing you need to do after installation is to enter license key Systems or Windows will work only 30 days and will ask for activation (all honestly).

We dismantle our hard disk from the old computer and connect it to a new computer. Turn on the computer. Windows 7 operating system updates registry configuration parameters,

Runs service

Sometimes at this stage of transferring Windows 7 an error " Windows could not complete the system setting. To resume setup, restart the computer"In some cases, it costs again (sometimes several times) to restart the computer and the error will disappear. Sometimes this error appears due to the installed anti-virus or Daemon Tools programs, Alcohol 120%, Ultraiso recommend removing them before transferring the system.

binding to new equipment is carried out, devices are installed,

applies system configuration parameters

the computer is prepared for first use. Reboot.

How to implement transferring Windows 7. From an old hard disk to a new one? The fact is that I purchased the Winchester, the volume of 1 TB, and the old one I have 120 GB, I installed Windows 7 on the system section (C :), with all the programs you need, which I installed not one day. The system works well and reinstall her I have no desire. I spoke with the repairmen, the answer is one, it is easier to reinstall, is it so? Vitaly.

Transferring Windows 7.

I will show you how to do everything and very just with boot disk Acronis, which can be done in the program itself in 5 minutes. Vitaly has one hard drive on the computer, there is a system section on it (C :), with installed Windows 7, but even if there were several other local drives, for example with your data, we could also implement transferring Windows 7. To a new hard disk, with all additional volumes using the method below.

Also you need to know that after the operation done, Windows 7 will ask again activation. The described method was used by me many times and always successfully, but just in case, create a recovery disk, it may need, written in two minutes on a simple CD, if you don't know how, read: Creating a system recovery disk, it should not be created if you have a installation disk With Windows 7, read the article to the end and understand everything.
What would you easier to understand how Wi TransfernDOWS 7. To another disc, I will show everything with my computer, especially I left two hard drive in my system unit, one on 120 GB and installed Windows 7, another clean hard drive per 500GB, and if you drop marketing, then 465 GB.
You need to start with whether my dear, can you connect your new hard drive to your system block. To help you, our article How to connect the second hard disk to the computer. If you have successfully coped with this, read on. Turn on the computer, the new hard disk is successfully determined in the system, it is easier here, you need to create a simple volume and assign him a disc letter, let's get it.
Start->A computer, Click on it right mouse and open Control, Further Controldisks, Close on an unallocated space of 465 GB with the right mouse button and choose to create a simple volume.

A simple volume wizard window opens.

Select the drive letter.

In this window do not change anything, file system NTFS and worth a check mark Fast formatting.

Go to the computer window and see our second hard drive already as New volume (F :),

now everything is ready for windows 7 transfer From the old disk with a volume of 120 GB for a new one.
Well, now I reboot, the download of the computer should happen from the bootable media, if you are experiencing difficulty changing the priority of downloads in the BIOS, read.
Main program window Tools and utilities->Cloning disc

Auto

By default, the program must be selected Disk 1. 120 GB, prescribe further.

Target Disc 2.To which we will carry out Windows 7 transfer, the volume of 465 GB is further.

Completion and Proceed.

Operation Cloning disk It happened 15 minutes and successfully completed. Turn off the computer and remove the old hard drive for 120 GB, we leave a new one by 464 GB. Turn on the computer and look what will happen. Windows 7 successfully started,

Quite often, users of computers and laptops occur when they replace available equipment (for example, motherboard or hard drive). Naturally, the old OS new "motherboard" or uninitialized hard drive just like this (as another built-in or periphery equipmentFor which you just need to install the drivers) will not perceive. Some argue that the system is easiest to reinstall. Yes, indeed, it is. But in the old OS, which also works quite normally, the user-needed program can be installed, the re-installation of which can take too much time, or their installation distributions at the user are simply missing. Here it is necessary to transfer Windows 7 to another "iron" or even a new computer, if the old upgrade is not subject to.

But everything is not so simple. The fact is that, as some believe, the creation of an image will not give any effect, since the OS itself, as it were, "tied" to the equipment, which was established earlier. And it's not a fact that it is easy to copy the system from the image to a volume of 2 TB and more, which are not MBR, will be possible. However, to perform such actions, you can use several options for which further and talk, but the main focus will be made to the built-in means of the system itself, so as not to resort to the installation or use of third-party software.

Is it possible to transfer Windows 7 to another "iron": action options

To begin with, let's briefly focus on possible situations, from which further user actions will depend. The most, as it is believed to be a simple option related to the replacement of the motherboard. In this case installed equipment It will be necessary to "untie" from the system to lead it to a state, as if she had just started recognizing new equipment (most often it may be due to the replacement of the motherboard). In the second case, when you need to transfer a working system to a new hard drive 1TB or any other volume, the action is somewhat complicated. But, if you precisely follow the instructions below, there should be no special problems.

Checking the hardware of the new computer or laptop

It goes without saying that the configuration of new equipment should be taken into account, which is installed on the motherboard. For example, what processor is needed for a 64-bit "seven"?

Naturally, only one that has the appropriate architecture, otherwise the system will simply not work. In a sense, this can also relate to hard disks, only here the problem rests on the style of the section. A hard disk with 1TB of memory of any OS seventh version is recognized without problems, but the devices with 2TB and above can only be determined only (not all available disk space will be available) or not recognize at all (not to mention SSD discs). On actions with hard drives, we will stop a little later, but so far I will sharpen attention on some important aspectsconcerning pre-training.

Used utilities

As for the software used, you can use a plurality of utilities, for example, from Acronis or even perform full with the working system. However, if there is no such tools at hand, you can apply the built-in "native" program Windows 7 Sysprep. With its help, the transfer, however, may take a few more time, nevertheless, in most cases, the use of this tool looks most acceptable for any user.

Preliminary actions

Finally, before proceeding to the transfer of Windows 7 to another "iron", it is advisable to completely uninstall all installed antiviruses, as well as applications for working with disk images or virtual drives It seems like Ultraiso or Alcohol 120%, since during the transfer process, their presence can provoke the appearance of conflicts or unforeseen errors.

Just in case, when transferring Windows 7 to another computer, which will use the existing hard drive, it is advisable to create an image of the source system in advance. If something goes wrong, it will be possible to recover quite quickly.

How to transfer Windows 7 to another iron with an existing hard disk?

Now directly about the actions performed. First of all, run the SYSPREP utility (Windows 7 will start the transfer only at the next start).

We call the command line on behalf of the admin, enter the same command, after which you select the transition point to the welcome window (OOBE), mark the preparation point for use and install the completion mode checkbox. At this stage, the running service will delete all equipment identifiers, information about activation, etc.

After turning off the computer, remove the hard drive, replace the motherboard and connect it again (or set to a new PC). After switching on, the system will independently update the registry settings, will launch the necessary services, it will install the equipment and testing it during restart.

Setting the system parameters directly after transfer

After that, as at the first system installation, you will need to choose a language and region, and then create a new user registration.

It is extremely important that it differ from the already existing in the system! Subsequently, this entry can be removed. Next will be required standard procedures By setting time, the Internet, etc. When the system starts, in the welcome window, you must select registration, which was installed in the system earlier (and not the one that was created at the transfer stage) and delete temporary "account".

Note: Please note that the system will need to be activated again. If you do not have a license, use the KMSauto Net utility or similar, although it is considered to be mildly, illegal or even an illegal action.

Transferring System to New HDD

In the case of transferring Windows 7 to another disk, the actions performed are completely similar to those just described, only the disk with the system is connected as an external medium and is displayed first in the BIOS load priority. After starting the OS, you must go to the archiving and recovery section in the control panel and create an image of the system. To save the image, the additional third carrier will be required (for example, external USB HDD). The step of creating a recovery disk can be skipped. After that, you need to turn off the source disk, download the system from the installation DVD, select the recovery partition and specify the recovery from the previously created image.

Then the found image on the external disk appears, which must be used. Next, the start of the process of transferring all parameters will follow, at its end, the computer will reboot, after restarting you will receive the system in the form in which it was on the old Winchester. As you can see, the SYSPREP utility in Windows 7 (or in any other OS of this family) is not as complex in use, as it may seem at first glance.

What should be considered when transferring the OS on the discs of a large volume?

Finally, a few words about the Winchesters themselves. First, if you transfer the system to a new HDD, please note that it may often be necessary for the primary and creating a simple volume (for example, after connecting the old disk to a new computer as an external one).

Secondly, the new disk is desirable to split into sections to leave under the system not all space, but as much as it is necessary. Thirdly, with large volumes (2 TB or more), you should use exclusively 64-bit Windows in a pair with UEFI, and not BIOS. Otherwise, the transfer of Windows 7 to another "iron" will be impossible. In the extreme case, the hard drive of a large volume can be divided by more than two logical partitions (but not more than four) by setting for each of them mBR style, not GPT. It goes without saying, for the correct implementation of the transfer, as has already been mentioned above, it should be considered which processor is used, how much random access memory It is established and what is the discharge of the OS itself. And in general, whether a new or upgraded PC corresponds to minimum requirements portable version of "seven".

Install and configure the operating system an order of magnitude harder and longer in time than to create an image and transfer to another computer. If you have the need to transfer OS along with all programs (the reason may be, for example, the purchase of a new device), you should not panic - this is done quite simple. Carefully read the recommendations below and select a successful way to "move" Windows. All the files you need and utilities will be in place, you will no longer lose weight of time and nerves to reinstall OS. FROM installation SSD. The disk will also not be difficult.

The image of the system. Transferring Windows 7 without installing utilities

Perhaps the easiest and fast option. The system has a backup tool - go to the Start menu, select "All Programs", then "Maintenance" and "Archiving and Recovery". Next, you need to create an OS recovery disk and create an image. We carry out the following actions:

1. To create an image, you need to specify the path where the archive of all data will be created: Select the disc, optical or outdoor HDD. By the way, you can create an image and store online, but about it later. Choose a disk with a sufficient place to implement this process, better if it is still logical or external disk. Archive.

1. After the process is completed, you load another device, insert our media with a copy and load the system.
2. Click on "OS Restore", specify the carrier with a way.

1. The action is executed, reboot the device.

Note! To boot the system, you must install in the settings BIOS Download From a hard disk.

In principle, the method is quite simple and does not require installing any utilities. However, the archive is created not so quickly and there is no possibility of its compression. There are more efficient programs.

Create a clone OS. Paragon Drive Copy.

The following Windows transfer method is via a backup application or virtualization. You can run the operating system without installing.

To complete the cloning of the old PC disk, you need to download and put the application. This program will easily help carry out the migration of Operations from one device to another. The utility is quite functional, has many options for creating an image and storage.

So, in order to transfer OS using this utility, you must perform a number of actions:

1. Click "Archiving a disk or section".
2. We mark the cloning disk.
3. Mark the checkbox to "change archiving parameters".
4. Next, select the option "without compression".
5. The settings should be noted the possibility of direct access to the sectors of the section.

Archive data. Create a new section

Now that we have created an image that transfer it to a new device. It often happens that there is an outdated operating system on the computer (for example, Windows XP), but the user wants to put a modern OS there. In this case, you need to do new section In the already existing system and select it in the system boards.

What do you need to do for this?

1. We put the application to a new device.
2. IN additional features Archiving The program will present the disk sections. If the area required by volume is available (the size of the partition being created should not be less than the archive with Windows XP), create a new section.
3. After the process of creating a section, click on it in the "Backup & Recovery" utility, restore the logical disk. Following the applications of the application, complete the settings and copy a copy to the new Operation.

The image of windows in a virtual environment. Annex Live Skydrive.

If you have a good connection speed to the network, you can store backup Operations B. virtual storage. The advantage of this method is that you not only migrate the system from one device to another, but also easily restore any data in case of failure. In addition, if you own a laptop, such a method will allow you to restore all files when the device is loss. If the laptop is stolen, you will not lose important documents and programs, and you can restore everything to another device. However, do not forget about security by placing an image into a virtual storage.

The first thing to pay attention to is the presence of free space. If you want to place a not high voluminous disc, you can use the free resource - Windows Live Skydrive. The amount of information can be up to 25 GB.

The tool allows you to create 3 types of folders that are stored online:

Folders that are only available to the Creator,

Folders for which the creator can make a list of persons for access,

All available open folders.

This utility Opens such features:

• Ability to store data by up to 25 GB. Access can be carried out from any device, even with mobile phone. A simple interface helps without difficulty download information to the server.
• File storage free. Today, many similar services allow free to store files on the network, but some may require a fee for expanding functions.
• The ability to create a folder of your own structure and store any files. You can create direct links to folders.

How to safely encrypt information?

Some services provide the ability to encrypt data online. But still, it is better to take more than once with caution and fulfill this action on your computer, excluding the opportunity to infect files.

To encrypt information, follow these steps:

1. Install TrueCrypt utility.
2. Click "Create Tom".
3. The selection of encryption power is too highly desirable not to encrypt, otherwise the download speed and boot may change. Optimal option - average power.
4. Move the data to the ready-made container, mount and enter the password. Perform encryption by following the tips of the utility.

We carry the OS Operation on a new device (OS OS)

The most typical option when you need to transfer OS to another device with a similar system. In this case, the migration is quickly carried out by creating a backup backup protocol.

"My Documents" and Other standard folders Do not differ in windows versionsThis simplifies the task - you only need to designate the desired copy in the program and perform the installation, following the prompts.

Note! Use Default Access Permissions Function must be activated, otherwise the new OS will not receive rights to access files.

We carry the OS Operation on a new device (Windows OS)

Free windows program Easy Transfer allows you to transfer the system and all settings on Windows of another version. Do not forget about the features of certain systems. For example, profile information is saved in different folders.

The program has a fairly simple interface and functionality. There are several restrictions: the utility will not allow migration if the localization of the system on devices is different, difficulties may occur with the transfer of the OS, if one of them is 64-bit, and the other is 32x.

In the seven, this utility is already there, so you can easily and simply transfer with the help of the Master Tips.

Carry OS on SSD disk

How to transfer windows with IDE or SATA on SSD?

Information on hard disks Usually saved on tracks that have sector separation. SSD is distinguished by the lack of such a breakdown. When you install a seven to the drive, it independently defines the memory storage characteristics. However, when importing copies of the old device, the disk is twice the speed of operation, the reason for this is the preservation of the copy, according to the sectors of the breakdown.

OS route utility on SSD

There are quite a lot of programs, consider one of the most popular and functional. This is Drive Copy 11 Professional Production of the Paragon brand. This utility makes it possible to transfer the image to the disk. What is the advantage of this program?

Solid-door discs perfectly perform their functions, they work almost silently, however, the price of larger volumes is quite significant, and all the necessary information is often not placed on discs of smaller volume. So the main functioning of the utility is the exclusion of all extra. Thus, you can not spend a lot of money on the larger disk, and simply eliminate the program that absolutely no need.

Problems arising when using 3TB disk

Buying a disk with a capacity of more than 2.2 TB, many often face a problem: the operating system does not want to use the entire volume of the disk - it simply does not see it. The reason is simple - the standard MBR markup option does not allow such actions. However, there is a way out of the situation and it is simply - to take advantage of the DRIVE COPY 11 Professional utility already known to us, it will provide the opportunity to read the entire free amount of hard disk.

Thus, transfer the operating system is quite simple. It is only worth installing the desired utility and use the prompts of this article.

In case of replacing or buying a new computer or laptop, when replacing your motherboard, you will have to either install the system from scratch or use the method of transferring all data and installed programs using the utility Sysprep.. This is a built-in Microsoft utility to help the user prepare your system to transfer to a new iron without rearranging the operating system.

When starting sysprep. Your operating system clears all the information about the installed, also resets the unique information about the installed OS. The main thing is that you are interested in users in this method that all data and installed programs will remain not touched. That is, you will not have to make backup, and on the new install all the software on the computer. Microsoft warns that in addition to information about drivers and devices, information about activating your Windows will be lost, so you have to activate your licensed Winodos 7 or by phone, or via the Internet (OEM exception). OEM version binds activation to the gland, so it can be made only by phone.

We begin to prepare our OS to transfer.
To do this, launch (already installed) utility sysprep. on the computer with the help of the command (in command line On behalf of the administrator, enter the string (Start - Run - CMD)):

% WINDIR% \\ SYSTEM32 \\ SYSPREP \\ SYSPREP

A window must open with the settings of the utility with the following items and settings:

In point System cleaning action Choose Switching to System Welcome Window (Oobe) And put a tick Preparation with use.
In parameter completion of work Select item Completion of work. You can choose and restart the system if you want to remove the image of this system booting with a DVD or flash drive.
Do not load after the SYSPREP procedure on the same computer, because it will have to reinstall this procedure before transferring to a new PC.

Press OK. And we wait until the system is shown in the initial view. After the process is completed, the computer will turn off. Now you can change the motherboard on the computer, or transfer to a new computer.

When starting operational windows systems 7 The installation and definition of devices will be performed.

It may be possible to restart the system (this is a normal phenomenon) Well, at the end of the installation, you will need to select a language and configure regional parameters.

We enter by the Puncons the date, standard settings, mode automatic update Systems, etc.
At the end of the installation, enter the system for the user test, complete the session and can be found under your accounting Under which they always worked. It remains to adjust the new drivers and work in normal mode on the computer.

Transferring Windows 7 With the installed programs, not such a complex procedure, which is carried out using the SYSPREP utility much faster than the complete setting from scratch. But there are also their nuances in this method. Microsoft does not guarantee 100% of work this method When transferring, for example, different chipsets, such as Intel on AMD or vice versa. But in practice there were cases that the system was raised and worked without failures. If you transfer with similar models and chipsets, most likely there should be no problems and conflicts.
