Best Way To Reload/Transfer W-7
New kid on the block here. I have an HP dc7900 running W-7 home and have my own W-7 Home 64bit disk. I'm upgrading to a HP dc8300 i5 with W-10. These usdt's have one hd that is 500gb. I have an 80 gb drive attached by usb that is my back up. I would like to load W-7 onto that one and put the 500gb in the usb holder and plug that into the the newer dc8300. Then I can go through get all the files I want to keep, format it and use it for my back up. Then put the 80gb in the dc7900 with the W-7 on it and use the W-7 activation code on the computer. I tried installing to the usb connected 80 gb drive but it wouldn't work. What's the easiest way to accomplish this being I am a novice at this..Thanks. GBY
