Windows 7 Installation - Transfer to a New Computer

Last post before mine was like a week old so didnt expect quick reply. Thanks.i went ahead and turned pc off. Will it even boot with the old hw still intact? It been doing one of "installing updates" 20 min. Seems stuck on update 12 of 12.

OK, it finally finished updating. Should I turn it back on with old hw?

Replying to self... (it does appear like you are on the other side of the world and probably in bed)...

I turned it back on and it booted OK. Will try sysprep again with admin priv in cmd prompt.

Last thing that happened is sysperep seemed to end prematurly when I closed the error window. Then turned PC off. Now its back on again and desktop seems normal.

Installed updates when I turned it off.

OK I got command prompt set to run as administrator. Woo hoo got windows media player networking service to stop! Now to redo sysprep.

No error this time. It ran for a couple of minutes, went black and came back up with different screen resolution then tuned off. I think it worked.

I'll tear down the PC now and build it back with new MB and CPU. Thanks for being there! Now get some sleep!
