How can I re-create the Win 8 system after getting a new HD

Hi,
I plan to buy a T530(with small HD 320GB) with Win 8 PreInstalled from Levnovo, and then buy a bigger 1TB HD to replace the original 320GB. Is there anyway to still use the original license of Win 8 that comes with my purchase to re-create the system?
If yes, How? Can anyone tell me what the steps are?
Thanks a lot.

Bill's link seems to be in error.  See http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=HT076024 instead.
Also keep in mind the product key used for activation is embedded in the system and married to it.  If you lose a drive and need to reinstall Windows 8, you can use matching media and setup will install using the embedded key.
By matching media I mean if the machine shipped with Windows 8 Pro, you should use the Pro media (DVD or USB stick) for the install.
Developers with MSDN subscriptions have access to the .ISO files for creating media.

    Hello, Everyone,
    I have a question again.
    How can I automatically create the file with a serie-filename?
    e.g. I have a program, it will repeat 5 times, and every time it will create a bmp-file, and I want to let this program automatically save these 5 files with a Serie-filename like File001.bmp, File002.bmp, .... File005.bmp.
    How can I do it?`
    Thanks a lot.

  • How can I exchange all the images in a slide show with new ones

    I have 18 slide shows each is a different competition for our camera club. How can I exchange all the images from each slide show with new images as our club competitions commence? I am reluctant to just delete the slide show because I will have set it all back up. I want to leave the size shape and format of the show as is, but just exchange all of the current images with new ones. I am hoping there is a quick way to delete and replace all images for each show? Each slide show has around 40 images and I have 18 shows
    thank you for your help

    1. Activate "thumbnails" in the configuration panel
    2. Select one Thumbnail.
    3. Rightclick and choose "Select same"
    4. Press "backspace"
    5. Open the configuration panel and load the new images.

  • How can I auto-update all book file links after making a new copy of my project?

    Using Indesign CC 2014,
    Windows 7x64.
    I've created a catalog, using a book file (.indb) which connects 20 Indesign files (.indd) together (so page numbering is continuous, etc).
    Each of the 20 Indesign files all have numerous art asset links and cross references. In total, ~200 files are involved.
    Once finished with the whole thing, I made a copy of the entire folder structure and placed it elsewhere, because I now need to create a modified version of this catalog project for a different company.
    In the end I need to wind up with 2 different, but very similar catalogs.
    Here's my problem: when I made the copy of the entire project and opened the copied over book file, I've found that it's still referencing the older 20 Indesign files back in the first folder structure.
    It's not using the new stuff.
    Same goes for all the art asset links inside each Indesign file.
    Looks like absolute paths only.
    What's the standard operation procedure here? What can I do to avoid having to manually re-link numerous art assets, etc?
    Surely, this is a common need among Indesign users.

    Hey, Peter!
    I've delayed my response here.
    Been dinking around, trying things.
    That's a smart suggestion, but the Package command will round up all assets into a nice compact folder structure ready for production. It's not really what I need.
    I need to keep things as they are, fully editable and unaltered - my folder structure is carefully crafted as is, and I definitely don't need all the fonts dumped into a folder.
    Here's what I'm doing now - I make a complete new copy of the folder structure in question. It includes all InDesign files and linked artwork, etc. Everything.
    I then CHANGE the name of root folder of the folder structure I initially copied. This breaks all the absolute paths of the copy.
    Then I open each InDesign file and the CORRECT links are still automatically found because it looks inside the new folder structure I just made by creating the copy. So all links get "fixed".
    Thank goodness InDesign is far more intelligent about finding missing links than Illustrator.
    This is the best solution I've found. It's not perfect, but nothing ever is.

  • How can you rename your iMac owner's name after migration to new iMac?

    I bought a new iMac and after the migration of old files etc to new one, it retained the owner name of the old one and I can't find out how to change it.

    Never mind, the solution came up after I submitted the question and all is fine.

  • I have a fifth gen Ipod and have changed computers. I was not able to transfer all the music over when I created an itunes account on the new computer. How can I save all the songs on my ipod and upload new ones? It wants to sync with my new account.

    I have a fifth gen ipod classic. I switched computers and was not able to transfer the songs and pictures over. When I connect my ipod to the computer it wants to sync with it which would delete all my songs and music. Is there a way around this?

  • How can I revert to the earlier version of Firefox? This new version has me completely bewildered. I can't find ANYTHING!!!

    I functioned extremely efficiently with Firefox for years. Now, suddenly the new version lacks the conveniently accessible functions to which I have become accustomed. I would like to re-install the earlier version so that I can resume my customary productivity, but I can't find the earlier version to "update" to ("downdate?") Please help me because I don't want to resort to one of the other browsers, but may have to if I can no longer figure out how to use Firefox. Nothing seems to work the way your instructions specify. You are making me feel like a gibbering idiot.

  • How can I add to the options automatically appearing in Get Info window?

    Can anyone please tell me if there is a way to change the options in the Get Info window to show more of them? For example, as well as Album Name, Artist, Composer, Genre, date I'd like to have Grouping and Comment come up each time. At the moment, for each album I import I have to go to Edit>View Options and then add them. It is getting to be a drag. I tried ticking them in Library>Show Columns but that doesn't seem to bring them up in the Get Info window. And yes, I do regularly want to add the same comment to every track on the album!

    Mike,
    Thank you, your info has been very helpful and I think I have followed you (wouldn't it be nice if English were less vague?) - selecting multiple items had me a little stumped - do you mean that I go to, say, Library, and highlight an album and then CMD-I means I that exactly all the things I wanted come up? I did this a few times and it works fine. But I'm not sure if that is actually what you meant. Maybe there is another way of selecting multiple items that I haven't yet cottoned on to? You can tell I'm not very good at this, I really appreciate your help.

  • How can I permanently delete the default bookmark toolbar items (getting started, most recent, etc.)?

    I can't seem to permanently delete the default bookmark toolbar items. They show up frequently on start-up, even after manually deleting them in a previous session. I use 3.6 x_32 on Linux (for Flash) and 4.0 RC 1 x_64 (for non-flash) sharing the same profile.
    I use the X-marks extension and I thought that was the cause the problem, but the problem keeps happening even after deleting all of the the default items in each version and then overwriting my x-marks server data with a forced upload both times.
    I'm guessing that x-marks will be most people's prime suspect. I just want to make sure that firefox isn't recreating the items as a default behavior.
    I know it's a minor annoyance, but I keep my bookmarks toolbar pretty full. Thanks.

    Does it still happen if you temporarily disable Xmarks?
    Doesn't it work if you hide the Bookmarks Toolbar?

  • HT1338 i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created.

    i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created. As i dont have the access to the earlier id anymore.

    You cannot. The apps are assigned to that Apple ID and there is nothing you can do to change that. You could choose to download them again with the new Apple ID, any paid apps will need to be purchased again.
    Hope that helps.
