Clone Drive to New Machine
Good morning everyone, I hope someone can help me understand if this is possible. I have two laptops. The newer one is an HP dv6000 with W7 Pro and the older one is a Dell Inspiron with an XP sp3. What I would like to do is upgrade the Dell to W7 for my daughter, but as part of that process I would like to first clone it's C: drive then restore that image onto a blank partition on the HP machine. The HP doesn't meet the requirements for virtualization so that's why I'm wanting to dual boot it with W7P & the XP image from the Dell. I would then reformat the Dell & do a clean install of 7 before I pass it on to my daughter. So here's my questions:I think I can acomplish this with a new install of XP on the partition and an Easy Transfer. I guess I'm just looking to save a little headache and a few bucks.
- Is it possible to "copy & paste" so to speak, an image from one machine to another?
- Would I be in violation of the EULA?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice.
