Image your system with free Macrium

Good deal. This lappy has quite some muscle. I really don't use the laptops which are mostly used by my wife. I prefer the big 22" screen of the desktop.

I have a little Nexus 7 tablet which works very well. My use of the tablet is very different than the use of the PC.

I use it mainly on trips for navigation, trip planning, phone calls via VoIP (I have no cell phone), checking the mail and some diddling on the internet. Although I have a bluetooth keyboard (mainly for the wife), I would not attempt to do any serious work on a tablet - too finagle.

I like the 7" form factor because I can stick it into my jacket pocket. Those 10"+ devices are too big for that. And the Nexus was only $230 for a 32GB model. The quadcore Tegra 3 in combination with Android is very fast.

Hey,

A quick question about this software, my current set up is that i have an SSD as my OS drive with a couple of different software programs installed e.g. Word and 1 or 2 games and i have a 1TB HDD with all my data. I moved the default location of my user files, My Documents, Temp folder and Program Files over to this drive. What i wanted to know is if i image my drives would i be able to just restore the images to other drives (Example a new SSD and HDD) and everything will go back to being as it was? A friend recommended Acronis as well.

Regards

How did you move default location? By using junction points? Or just by changing registry values and drag and drop?

For the Temp folder i followed http://forums.overclockersclub.com/i...owtopic=184591 and for everything else SSD Tweaks and Optimizations in Windows 7 and http://www.overclock.net/t/1156654/s...-for-ssds-hdds

So you just redirected TMP and TEMP environment variables.

How did you move the other folders exactly?

You did modify TMP and TEMP environment variables. Maybe created junction points as well for other folders. Maybe modified registry settings. Maybe changed the explorer libraries.

No matter what you did... all is working now I assume. Assume it's pointing to disk F now.... you can backup and restore F to any disk you want without issues. As long as the correct drive is called F in win7!!! You can change drive letters using "disk management".

Do you mean this Kaktussoft?
