How to do a clean install of windows 10 on a different drive?

Hi all. Today I decided to make the switch to windows 10. I want to do a clean install, however, because I recently got an SSD and want to install the OS on that instead of on my hard drive. First off, do I even need my product key to do a clean install onto a new drive? I made a clone of my C: dirve just in case something goes wrong, just FYI. My SSD is 100% empty and has 110GB available on it but my main hard drive has about 400GB of stuff on it, so cloning my drive to the SSD is out of the picture.  So basically what I want to know is this: 1. Do I need to have my windows key to do a clean install of windows 10 from windows 8.1 onto a different drive.2. If not, how do I do a clean install onto a new drive3. If I need it, how do I get it? Thanks all

The easiest solution would be to back up the data you wish to keep on an external hard drive then delete that data and programs from the old hard drive so that only the OS remains.  From there use migration software from your SSD manufacturer to clone the old drive to the new SSD using a USB to SATA cable. The Windows key is embedded in the BIOS and will be recognized by the computer on any installs.  It would be advisable to retrieve your key, just in case, using Belarc Advisor which gives you all sorts of info about your computer.  Do this before doing anything.http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html  Swap your drive and be sure it is operational.  Now you may perform a clean install of the Windows 10 upgrade using a bootable ISO.  See step 5 or 6 from this tutorial:http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2267-windows-10-upgrade-installation.html#step3

    I have a new SSD drive and need to either migrate my old HD data, including the Windows 8.1 OS or do a a clean install.  I have obtained the ISO, prepared the boot for the flashdrive and downloaded the install software.  It asks for the product key.   I used the suggested BIOS reader and obtained "a" product key off the BIOS and used that it but (as above) it does not recognize the image.
    How id I get my single Windows license onto my new SSD HD?  Reload, clean install, ???
    How do I get the proper product key or confirm it is correct? 
    It is a new system with little data that I need to copy. I just want the operating system.  I have the driver disc that came with it.

  • How to do a CLEAN INSTALL of Windows 8.1 with a Windows 8 OEM Key

    I have recently purchased a new C540 that has Windows 8 already installed on it.  I would like to perform a clean install of Windows 8.1 on this computer.
    This is what I have done so far:
    I disabled 3 things in the BIOS: IIRC, they were secure boot, quick boot, and something about "optimized" startup
    I have changed my boot priority to put the CD/DVD drive first and any flashdrive 2nd
    I have figured out my OEM Windows Product Key (this is for a Windows 8 Core/64 bit OS)
    I have setup a flashdrive with Windows 8.1 on it
    I tried to boot from the flashdrive...when I get the option to install windows 8.1, I click on it and very quickly get the following error -- "The product key entered does not match any of the Windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key."
    I added a PID.txt file with my OEM product key in the Source folder of the Windows 8.1 install....I don't get the above error message immediately, but a screen comes up that asks me to enter a Product Code...my OEM product code (being for W8,  not W8.1) does not work while using a generic key (for Windows 8.1 Core) yields the same error message as above and exits the installer.
    I then added an EI.CFG file that sets the edition to core, the version to OEM, and the Volume to 0...unfortunately, when trying to install Windows 8.1 it still asks me for a product key before installing...I cannot get past this screen even though (to my understanding) the EI.CFG file should cause the installer to skip asking for a product key...
    It is important to me that I get to perform a CLEAN install of Windows 8.1...I do not want to upgrade through windows store...the only keys I have are a W8 Pro Retail key (for my laptop) and a W8 Core OEM key (that came with the new C540)...I am using a flashdrive to perform this since I knew I may have to add/change files like the PID and EI.CFG....
    I would appreciate any help I can get in solving this problem...I am also willing to try burning an .iso with the PID and/or EI.CFG, but I'm trying to avoid trial and error with that since it is time consuming, requires an ADK, and may waste DVDs...I'd only make an .iso if (for whatever reason) that would work where a flashdrive woud not...

  • How to do a clean install of Windows?

    Is there anything I should know before doing a clean install of Windows on my laptop? It's a GS60 Ghost. I got my product key using Magical Jellybean KeyFinder, but from what I've heard I won't need that since the key is stored in the BIOS. So I guess all I need to do is put the right version of Windows on a USB and install it, right?

    The OEM DPK stored in the BIOS only activate the same type of Windows. For example, most of MSI laptops were preloaded with Windows 8.1 standard (PS: "standard" won't be shown in the "System" window) and planted with OEM DPKs for Windows 8.1 standard. If you install the Windows 8.1 Pro version, it won't be activated by the key.
    However, if your Windows 8.1 Pro is bought from the shop, you'll need to enter a key provided in the box when installing. And then it will automatically activate the OS by connecting to the Internet. In this way, the OEM DPK in the BIOS will be ignored.

  • G505 How to do a Clean Install Windows 8.1 Core instead of Windows 8.0 Core?

    Hi,
    I have G505 with Widows 8.0 core installed. I would like to do a clean install of Windows 8.1 core. So I installed but it ask for the activation key which I do not have. I thought we can use the same activation key for Windows 8.1 core. How do you activate it if it is possible.
    Or do I have to install Windows 8.0 core and then upgrade to Windows 8.1. Unfortunately I do not have a copy of Windows 8.0 core.
    Thanks for any help.

    hi magi44ken,
    This might be because the WInodws 8.1 installer you used is a retail version and not an OEM from Lenovo.
    The path should be Windows 8.0 then upgrade it. this way the Key inside the BIOS will be recognized and reactivated.
         Try Doing a Onekey Recovery and see if the Recovery Partition is still active to revert the system back to Windows 8.0. Turn off the computer and hit the Movo button , see if recovery will be available.
    If not, you will need to call Lenovo Technical Support to Obtain a copy of the Windows 8.0 install, (fees may apply).

  • How save factory software on T400 and reinstall after clean install of Windows 7

    Hi
    I have a Thinkpad T400  2764-CTO Running Vista Business 32-bit  and want to do a clean install to Windows 7 Pro.
    Sounds like I can get all the drivers via System Update 4.0, but I'm concerned about how to save/re-install some of the software that came on the machine.
    In particular, Intervideo WinDVD and Roxio Media Import. If I go to my Programs folder and copy the folders for Roxio and InterVideo onto a flash drive, and then re-copy into the Programs folder on the C drive after a clean install, does that work?
    I've never used Rescue and Recovery on the laptop, and am not sure how it works. Any advice is appreciated.
    I'm not sure I even know all the stuff that exists from the factory. Anything else I should be concerned about? Thanks! - Kathleen

    Please review the HP software and driver download page for drivers/software that are compatible with Windows 7. Also note that there is a BIOS update for Windows Vista that improves the system's ability to function with WIndows 7. Also read "Alerts" and other information regarding this product and Windows 7.

  • How backup/save software installed on T400 before doing clean install of Windows 7?

    "In particular, Intervideo WinDVD and Roxio Media Import. If I go to my Programs folder and copy the folders for Roxio and InterVideo onto a flash drive, and then re-copy into the Programs folder on the C drive after a clean install, does that work?"
    As Maliha said (or implied) that doesn't work.  Just copying installed programs doesn't set up the registry entries or any data folders and files they may use in your user files.
    You might consider copying your entire user directory to large flash or DVD or external hard drive as a way to preserve your personal data and program data files.  Things like Thunderbird mail or Firefox bookmarks are in C:\users\kathleenklein\appdata\... (which may not be visible unless you make them so) and can be plugged back into your Windows 7 install.
    "I've never used Rescue and Recovery on the laptop, and am not sure how it works. Any advice is appreciated."
    First, have you made your factory recovery media?  That ensures that you can revert to factory Lenovo setup if you ever want to.  To give the machine to your little brother, for instance.  It will burn a pair of CDs and one or more DVDs.
    You can/should also use R&R to save a current whole-disk image to external media.  That lets you fall back to your current setup if necessary.  This is likely to be fairly large.  An external hard drive is usually required.  Use advanced R&R to set up the target and start things off.  Once you are sure that Win 7 is going to work for you, you can get rid of the saved Vista image and use the drive for your Windows 7 backups.   You do make backups...
    R&R can't (AFAIK) save your Vista user stuff and restore it to WIn 7.
    Is this a clean install using Lenovo media or is it Microsoft vanilla?  I just did a MS Vanilla 7 install.  Since the service and recovery partitions in the Lenovo Visa drive configuration will be useless in a WIn 7 install (if MS vanilla) I used the advanced option and had the Win 7 install delete all partitions and just do its thing.  It created a small boot partition and used the rest of the drive for C:
    After installing '7, install the latest TVSU and let it pull down the basic/necessary Lenovo drivers and apps.  After that you may choose to install the latest R&R.  Surprisingly, it can be used to make backups even without the Lenovo partitions present.  I've verified that by making a full image and restoring to a bare drive.
    It's handy to Install '7, do a MS update, install TVSU, do a Lenovo update, install R&R and then burn a recovery set of CDs and DVDs so you can rewind to a sort of base-usefull-initially-updated condition should that be necessary.

  • X100E clean install of Windows 7

    I got an X100E nearly a year ago and have never been happy with all the extra 'junk' software that came pre-installed with it.  Sure there are a few useful items, but like many business users, I'd much prefer a clean installation of Windows so I could install the programs I've found from experience work well.
    I've currently got a problem that's going to require reinstalling from the CD that Lenovo's sending me and this would be an ideal time to get the clean install I need.  The problem is, this will be an image for the entire drive that will leave the machine in the state in which it shipped originally including all the unwanted bloatware. 
    It's not really feasible to uninstall all the unwanted stuff - I tried this several times soon after getting the machine and had serious problems.  Not all of the stuff is uninstallable and even the items that do uninstall don't do so properly.  After resetting to factory two or three times I gave up.
    How can I get the clean installation I'm looking for?  I can see from the support pages that this isn't an unusual requirement and all of the extras are available for download and installation if needed so where can I find details of how to do a clean install?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks again for your time and patience with this issue.
    Even though it looks like it's much more involved using ABR, most of the procedure is just good practice even if you're not using ABR (backup etc.).  Anyway, I thought I'd give it a try last night as I'm sure going to use this again so best to get familiar.
    Actually, I did download the W7 Beta file, what I meant was that the instructions are for Vista - same with the guides for Lenovo.  Also they are several years old.  This shouldn't be a problem, though as it's mostly just stepping through the installation procedure.  However, the X100e doesn't have an optical drive and I'm not sure how to get 'round this (share a drive on another PC or make a bootable USB drive and force the X100e to boot from it?).  Anyway, I thought I'd go through the preparation steps, but then I had a number of problems:
    1.  First I went to the Lenovo site to manually download the drivers as listed in the procedure, but couldn't find the chipset drivers for the mobo.  Not a disaster as I have a backup of the latest drivers from running Driver Genius backup (also all the old ones replaced by it), but I'd still like to know where to find it on the Lenovo site.  There's also mention of a 'Turbo Memory Driver' and a 'Matrix Storage Manager Driver', but since I could see no drivers of this type listed, I assume it's not relevant to this machine.
    2.  I then tried to delete the hidden partition following the steps in Hypertrophy's Diskpart Guide, but at the final step "delete partition override" I got a message saying the action couldn't be performed.  The guide assumes this will work and gives no further details of what to do if it doesn't.  I was logged on to the proper Windows 'administrator' account and also tried running it '..as administrator', but just got the same result.  There's also a message at the start of this article saying "Make sure you have backed up your OEM keycode before deleting the hidden partition."  What's the OEM keycode?  Surely not the activation key as the guides say to delete the hidden partition BEFORE running the ABR utility.  Does it just mean to write it down first or is the OEM keycode something else?
    3.  Lastly I tried to run the ABR utility itself (downloaded the ABRbeta.exe) file, but when I ran this I got this message "Can not open file 'L:\Downloads\ABR Beta\ABRbeta.exe' as archive".  At this point I gave up, but tried again this morning on a different machine and got the same result.  However, downloading it again today it works fine so at least that's one problem solved!
    All I need now is a way to delete the hidden partition (formatting the whole drive is fine as there's nothing of value that hasn't been backed up) and a method of installing Windows, either from DVD, bootable USB drive or from a mounted image across the LAN. 
    You've already been very helpful and I can't thank you enough, but if you could give me some help with these problems and the earlier questions regarding drivers, I might have a chance of getting this job done.

  • Any recommendations on how to do a clean install of Win 7 Pro OA?

    Hey Guys, I just got my new x201 and I'm looking to do a clean install of windows 7 pro (oa)
    any ideas on how to do it without using the rescue and recovery? im trying to avoid all the factory programs being installed, so i dont want to use the rescue and recovery option. my main concern is activation, but im also wondering what CD/DVD i would use to install the OEM/OA version since it didnt come with any media. does lenovo provide this if i need? i can already see performance decrease in some applications, and in just general use of the computer. any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    i was also wondering if it would be a big deal if i got an SSD for this laptop, would thre be any activation issues with the OEM/OA version? 
    thanks in advance
    nick

    Another note Rescue and Recovery can create OS only disks instead of just factory reset and can also create as is which copies exactly how the PC is now. Not sure why no one on this forum knows that or atleast does not tell anyone. weird. Those options are under the create disks tab. Great for like what your needing to do. Install all the programs and make the as is disk to put on all 99 other PCs. Cheers! EDIT note: Nevermind my useless info posted above. I just confused R&R with OKR AGAIN. Does someone know how to use R&R that could post info. Can R&R create disks of the system as is like OKR can?

  • Clean install of windows 8 crashing with BSoD: "attempted execute of noexecute memory"

    I recently bought this computer (sorry for hyperlink, but it is much easier than trying to list all the components):
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227593
    I added a Samsung 840 EVO 250gb SSD to it, and then I attempted to do a clean install of windows 8.1 onto the SSD from
    the reinstall DVD that came with the system. Windows 8.1 appears to install correctly, but when the computer restarts to load windows for the first time, I get a BSoD with the error "attempted execute of noexecute memory". I tried reinstalling, but
    got the same error.
    Note that for testing purposes, I installed windows 7 on the SSD, and it works great. Unfortunately, I do not have a windows
    7 key, so this is only a temporary solution. I would like to figure out how to get windows 8.1 on the SSD and running on the my computer.
    Thank you in advance for any help or advice that you can give me.

  • How to do a clean install with lion after it is already installed?

    how to do a clean install with lion after it is already installed?

    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • Clean install of Windows 8

    I am about to perform a clean install of Windows 8, however I don't want to lose my copies of Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 and Premiere Elements 7.0. These programs were both pre-installed on my Sony-Vaio so I don't have a media disc for them. How can I retain these programs and activate them on my updated PC?

    A clean install of Windows 8 will wipe out your other files by definition as will the recovery disks. Fortunately, Windows 8 has some new Maintenance options not seen in prior versions. You can try an OS "refresh" which will install new Windows 8 system files without disturbing your data or settings.
    http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2410848,00.asp
    You will want to back up your important files before you do this as there is a small chance it can go awry.

  • Clean install of Windows 7, product key failed

    I wanted to do a clean install of windows. I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 product key on the bottom of the laptop. So I made a windows 7 usb boot drive from an iso file from Microsoft's website and formatted the hard drive. I installed Windows 7 with no problems. I go to type in the product key and activate Windows and it fails. Microsoft support says the product key is blocked and that HP is responsible for supporting pre-loaded Windows laptops.
    Why is the Windows product key written on the bottom of my computer blocked? And how do i fix it?

    Actually HP would ask you to contact MS. And MS would advice you to get Recovery media from HP. This is what is going to happen. You can try your luck with MS first.
    MS withdrew all the Windows 7 ISO support, especially to OEMs 2 weeks back.

  • Could anyone of you please who has a clean install of Windows 8.1 on the SSD drive look at some settings of certain services (below)?

    Hi everyone,
    could anyone of you please
    who has a clean install of Windows
    8.1 on the SSD drive look at some settings
    of certain services (below)?
    Thank you.
    Prefetch and Superfetch. In registry located on way
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\ Control\ SessionManager \MemoryManagement \PrefetchParameters.
    I am interested in EnablePrefetcher and
    EnableSuperfetch REG_DWORD value.
    Just a number in parentheses.
    ReadyBoot. In registry located on way HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Control \WMI\Autologger\ReadyBoot.
    I am interested REG_DWORD value of
    Start. Just a number in parentheses.
    Run dfrgui command. Go to Change settings and have a look if SSD on which is the system installed is included in regular optimalization schedule.
    Registry can be accessed running regedit command.

    Hi,
    Prefetch and Superfetch means that most commonly used files are stored to disk to be more quickly accessed later.
    For Prefetch:
    Disable Caching: 0
    Cache Applications Only: 1
    Cache Boot Files Only: 2
    Cache Everything (default): 3
    For SuperFetch:Disable Caching: 0
    Cache Boot Processed Only: 1
    Cache Applications Only: 2
    Cache Everything (default): 3
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\Autologger\ReadyBoot\Start value means:
    disable: 0
    enable: 1
