Help with HP and Windows 7 install
I have a friend who wants to replace the old 5400 RPM Seagate hard drive in his netbook. He got an SSD and asked how to install Windows 7 because he has no DVD rom.
I have done the copying of files and formatting a USB, but that's on a single license disc that I have.
He has the HP mini and the restore discs. What files do we need to copy from the HP restore disc to the formatted USB stick so we can use the USB stick to reinstall on to the new SSD?
Are they different files than from a retail license disc? A little guidance here would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I am not sure if this matters but I did help a friend with his Dell. Bought a new hard drive, installed it and then stuck the restore disc and Window XP was installed just fine. But I am not sure about HP and if it works like that too. Again, thanks
