You can do that, certainly. So what type of strategy should you have? We recommend making a system image immediately after installing Windows 7, or as soon as you can, thereafter. This way you know you have a clean, virus-free image you can always revert to. Put this copy in the closet and leave it there. Next, get in the habit of creating image backups routinely.
If you create an image at least every three months, you know going forward you have most of the security patches and latest downloads and programs installed. Having only one backup is fine, but creating these images routinely is the best option.
You will be taken to the Backup and Restore section. Check them out and then choose one based on your needs. Then, you will get into Backup and Restore utility. Here you should click on Create a system image. Here you can start to create a system image. Choose the just inserted USB drive, and click Next. Once the backup completes, it will display a message asking if you want to create a system repair disk. And indeed, you will need the system repair disk in order to reimage the computer.
Thus, you need to follow the hints to create a system repair disk. When you finished creating system repair disk, disconnect the power from the PC to complete the new hard drive installation. Choose the option to format and repartition hard disk. After all the operation, your computer will be reimaged. This way is kinda complex for Windows users especially for beginners.
It is no doubt that using the third party software can save a lot of trouble sometimes. If you want to replace failing system hard drive, or upgrade hard drive without any data loss or reinstalling everything on the current hard drive, you can use AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional. Moreover, you can boot your computer from the destination hard drive after clone. My hard drive failed in my laptop. I put a new hard drive in and realized that I do not have my product key. I have the 'Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity' sticker, but there is no product key in sight.
Is there any way to give these numbers under the bar codes or something, so I can retrieve my product key? Any help in this matter would be appreciated. I have no way of getting my product key now that the hard drive is gone, and I don't want to buy 7 again. Search titles only. Search Advanced search…. Everywhere Threads This forum This thread.
