How to install Win7 on SSD if recovery partition remains on old HDD?

Question

Windows

Hello,

I was thinking about upgrading the hard drive in an i7 laptop to an SSD.
I don't want to order a recovery CD for my HP ENVY 15t-3000 for money.
I don't want to install warez Windows either.
From the recovery partition, Microsoft Office Starter is installed, as well as Adobe Photo Shop Elements 9 and Premier 9, the laptop is clean in terms of software.

The question is, after buying a 256MB SSD, how can I install Win7-64 and MS Office Starter on it, which come from recovery? Can I somehow transfer this recovery to an SSD? I understand that this is a loss of 20GB, but I can put up with it for the sake of copyright.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Use the special utility Paragon Migrate OS to SSD , it works great.

Install SSD, plug in USB CD drive and install. (you can install without a CD, from a USB flash drive after preliminary preparation, search "how to install Windows from a USB flash drive").
Judging by the presence of the recovery partition, you already own a legal licensed Win7-64. So there is a sticker with a serial number on the carcass of the laptop. Stupidly, download the trial version of Windows W7-64 from the Microsoft website (pay attention to which edition - Home, Pro, Ent) and install, during installation it will ask for a serial number (or you can skip and there will be a trial) enter the one from the sticker, and trial Windows will become 100% legal and will live.
HighlyBefore that, I recommend that you take care of the drivers from the beech manufacturer's website, and roll the complete set onto a USB flash drive. Win7 "out of the box" supports a bunch of hardware, and what it does not support is downloaded from the Internet with an update. But in order to have the Internet, you need at least a network card driver.

This nonsense is not worth the trouble with its transfer. Install a NORMAL clean OS and the software you need. And not this advertising (or stuffed with advertising, depending on what else was “customized” by the guys from HP) shelter.
