Looking to purchase Windows 7 Home Premium x64 OEM Disc

Each system will have unique drivers, so no. At the least you'd need the Lan Driver.

Of course, that's why I didn't want the drivers because I figured it would just blue screen moving it from one computer to the other. Looking into sysprep now, looks interesting.

SysPrep generalizes the customized install so that upon first startup drivers are loaded from the Win7 driverstore just like during an install, also removing activation, HID and SID so the install can start on any PC. So does Acronis and Paragon Virtualization Manager.

Most of my installs need no more than 2-3 drivers at most after all Important and Optional Windows Updates are done which is why Gary's point to have the LAN driver standing by is so important. Win7 is mostly driver-complete in the installer and via Updates after enabling Automatically deliver drivers via Windows Update (Step 3) .

The author of the SysPrep tutorial Kari can advise you further.

I use Acronis Universal Restore for imaging, backed up by Paragon Adaptive Restore CD to PNP Adjust to new hardware and which can also apply Win7 backup images. PAR is now integrated into Paragon Virtualization suite, which our expert SIW2 can help you with further.

I haven't heard much lately about slipstreaming the post-SP1 updates into Win7 SP1 ISO but let's see if someone comes along to advise on that. It would be interesting to know how it works and what else can be added. In the past this has had mixed results. You certainly wouldn't want to remove anything from the leanest Windows ever.

We OC's actually find other computers to install on, too. More of a challenge. I've always got a couple dozen spread around the country so I get to travel which is half the fun.

I'm practicing so I can get a job at it some day, maybe with the circus.

Would this copy drivers also? This would be used on top of the line HPs to lower end acers. Don't really want to narrow myself to only certain computers.

Sorry, I guess I misunderstood you.

Telling by this Statement it appears you have a Pirated copy why else would you need to re-install to make sure it is working could be wrong but in case ......

I think if you are using a Pirated copy just go to the store and buy a version can't be no more then 89.00 dollars

If you want full updates well throw it on a dummy machine and let it update till they are a hundred percent then back it up on a double layer disc

I have no clue how you got that assumption but you are so off it's not even funny. I did not ask about any sort of activation or anything, we use the CoA under every computer that is brought to us. If I wanted a pirated copy, why do Home Premium? Why not Professional for the networking features or mayne Ultimate for the language pack? Simply because 99% of computer that were shipped with Windows 7, had home premium.

well sorry for being brash but it was kinda vague explaination

Greg the rocker gave you the best way to do that
