Need Help Installing Windows 7 on New Hard Drive
I have a single computer at my business that is still working but it has a corrupt windows component store and I have tried different Microsoft FixIt’s, Sfc /scannow and I even tried doing a repair install of Windows 7 but it failed multiple times.
I know I could just do a clean install BUT I only have 1 computer at my business and the software program and sql database that is required for the software is the only thing that keeps the business running.
Is it possible for me to buy a new hard drive and put it in a hard drive enclosure and install Windows 7 and the software program that I use for my business and then just swap the hard drives so I don’t experience any downtime?
I also have the exact same model computer at home with the business software installed already so is there a way I could make an image of that computer and then install that image on the business computer and then enter my Windows activation code that I have for my business computer?
I greatly appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks
