Installing win 7 from a hard drive to a new hard
MY girlfriend broke the lcd screen and key board on a Compaq laptop that I bought her it had win 7 home premium. So I put her hard drive in my hp laptop that I am running vista on, I took out my hard drive installed hers and booted it up. It booted fine but I had to call microsoft and reregester it The problem I run into was when I tried to update the drivers and software they would not install I had no sound no usb ports and no dvd/cd drive I tried downloading the drivers from the original venders and they wouldn't install and hp said that my dv9627cl is not supported for win 7 upgrade and they dont intend on suporting it in the future. My question if I move all the files to an external harde drive how can I install them on a new hard drive on my desk top that is supported by hp for win 7. My desk top has 3 500 gb sata drives. I want to install win7 on one of the satas on my desk top and have a dual os vista and win7 I moved all the files off of the laptop drive that has win 7 on it to a external drive that I share with both of my computers.
