    I made it work 2 weeks ago, didn't have time to report.

    I integrated drivers into Win 7 from within the OS using Dism++, then booted from Paragon Adaptive Restore and did automatic adjustment. On new hardware USB drivers worked right away, I installed x470 chipset drivers on my x570 motherboard, network driver manually, the rest via "search online" from Device Manager. Several times got BSOD and Checkdisk forced itself and fixed many issues. I've transferred two systems this way from same hardware to same new hardware. Systems seem stable for now.

    Thank you for support! The only driver missing is for Intel WiFi 6.

    Can you point me to a tutorial on how to integrate drivers into an ISO using DISM++?

    Does this answer your question => Update your Win 7 installation media.

    I hope this helps!

    I guess it does, although I've beard that dism++ can do it as well.

    I got my USB and other drivers for x570 motherboards from this forum:

    Forum - [Solution] Win7 drivers for USB 3.0/3.1 Controllers of new AMD X570 mainboard.

    But they are slow responding and non-native English speaking...

    Does anyone know if drivers they provided can be updated with newer versions? I'm not that much tek savvy... I don't understand exactly how they made those drivers.

    Hi, I'm trying to update my system, but I'm facing problems with Win 7.
    I have a question about the Paragon application. When I have to run the software: before or after I change my hardware?
    Also, it works with 64 bit version of Win 7?

    Best Regards

    When the adjusted os is booted it will install the drivers relevant to the machine from windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository.


    1. attach the hard disk to the new machine

    2. Boot paragon cd and do the adjustment

    2. Boot into the Hard disk on the new hardware

    i noticed the CD BSODs at boot with AMD X570 chipset, i assume i need some drivers, probably storage controller drivers. as far as i know they aren't available on AMD's site.

    Hi there,

    I used this software once which totally saved my life and my mind and sanity.

    Sadly after porting my HDD data back to my HDD and hardware upgrade 4 months later my HDD died on me.

    I still had the same back up image as used initially prior to using the paragon software, my problem is this time after booting paragon up and clicking on the option to adjust the OS. It was saying no OS detected which makes no sense since the hardware was the exact same as when I originally had success making my OS bootable.

    Can anyone help/advise me what might be the cause?

    I am 100% certain the BIOS settings are the same as when I was last able to successfully use the paragon software.

    Cheers,

    Bandit.

    Sounds like it is not the same. Not clear from your post.

    Sadly after porting my HDD data back to my HDD and hardware upgrade
    I don't know what this means:
    porting my HDD data back to my HDD

    Plus sounds like you have changed something:
    and hardware upgrade

    How do you know the image restored correctly?

    What is the hardware? the paragon 2010 is quite old and maybe doesn't work on your "hardware change"
