Moving a Windows 7 Installation
Hi folks,
For Christmas I bought myself a new Lenovo laptop. It came with Win7 Home Premium 64-bit. For my mobile computing needs, I prefer Ubuntu for most stuff that I do, but like to have Windows on my desktop. As standard practice seems to dictate these days, no installation disc was sent with the laptop.
I would like to know the best way that I can setup my desktop with the copy of Win7 I have on my laptop. I won't be using 2 copies simultaneously, and I don't want to just LOSE out on a copy of Win7 that came with the laptop.
I am concerned because the Lenovo tools to do backup state that the backup cannot be used on another machine. I was wondering if any of the tools included in Win7, whether it be creating recovery discs, making backup images, etc., have the same problem. I want to do everything legally, but don't want to shoot myself in the foot and lose out on a copy of Windows that I purchased.
Thanks and happy holidays!
