OK to copy Win7 (Home Premium SP1) disk to external hard drive?

The MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS for Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
say:
10. BACKUP COPY.
a. Media.If you acquired the
software on a disc or other media, you may make one backup copy of the media. You may use it only to reinstall the software on the licensed computer.
That tells about backing up the installation media.
What about "backing up" the Windows disk itself, by copying a mirror image it to an (portable) external hard drive, similar to what's mentioned in
According to Malmition's November 12, 2012 Making a copy of Windows disk - Microsoft technical link request
post on this forum:
I work with an engineer that feels he constantly needs to restore his windows 7 drive to its original state.
He does this by have a copy of his c drive - it is not an image and he is not using any imaging software - just a flat copy of his c drive.
When we wants to start over he formats his drive, boot from a thumb drive, and copies the c drive back.
This is working fine for him.
I've watched him do the copy back and forth so I see he's not using anything to image like ghost, acronis, etc
I thought you couldn't just copy your windows drive?
I'd like to do something similar.
Is that allowed by the Win7 Home Premium SW license terms?
Thank you.

Sorry to say: Try to solve real problems.
Major drawback: You have not specified what license you have. Specification Win7 Home Premium is not enough.
1. Do not compare installation content on DVD and that of on hard disk. Installation disk contains packed files for your Windows. Sector by sector copy of HDD is NOT the same as what you can find on install DVD. From the point of law, the backup use (native,3rd
pty or by DD sector by sector) is legal, if you use it for restoration of Windows on HDD for the same computer, if you have ONE license.
2. No one could object the situation, when you are backing multiple times (full, incremental,... backup)
3. You cannot discuss c: drive only, because there is another partition that is important, namely hidden system partition. (Minimum of two partitions). License should cover the whole disk, not boot partition only.
4. There are special rules for OEM, multilicenses, ... I have created system image that I distributed on many computers, because of I used special licenses that allow for multiple use in lab environment (Campus License, MSDN Academic Alliance, Dreamspark)

Upgrading Win7 Home Premium 32-bit to Win7 Home Premium 64-bit

I just purchased a Thinkpad X201 that came preinstalled with Win7 Home Premium 32-bit installed and I would prefer to run the 64-bit version. Is there any way I can inexpensively get the necessary DVD(s) and will the current product key on my laptop validate the 64-bit version? I understand that this will require a clean install but as MS normally provides both the 32-bit and 64-bit version of Win7 with there standard OEM sets I was hoping that Lenovo could provide me the necessary DVD(s) at little or no cost (shipping?).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

alternatively you can download the legal version of the 64 bit ISO from notebookreview forum ('google notebookreview win 7 iso download).
Then use that to install the version of the win 7 you want, and you can activate that OS with the serial key that you have received with your laptop on the sticker under the laptop.

Thak you for helping me.

Recovering to Win7 Home Premium 64-bit version [ L505-S5984 ]

Hi there,
I purchased a L505-S5984 in the black friday sales, comes bundled with 3gb memory and a 250gb hard drive. It's also pre-loaded with Win7 home premium - 32bit edition.
Does anyone know how the Toshiba recovery process works, especially, what factor determines whether a user will be prompted to install the 32bit vs the 64bit version of the operating system?
I'm examined the recovery media and believe, filewise, everything is there for a 64 bit installation. I suspect theres some (config) setting(s) with the recovery image such that it wont give an option for a 64bit installation?
Anyone else played around with this?
Thanks

I believe that there is a post in the Windows 7 forum here that tells how to do this on some models. I don't remember specifically which one it is, but the Subject Line was something on the order of 32bit to 64bit.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Boot camp (vista 64-bit home premium) not seeing both my CPUs

so i just received my mac pro =) base config with 8800GT.
i just installed windows vista 64-bit home premium via boot camp. everything is going fine, it's just when i open task manager, it only sees four cores instead of all eight. is it because i have home premium, not business or ultimate? or is something wrong? thanks!

Programs that support 64-bit Vista (few are being updated or written for Pro) show better performance - cleaning up code base and adding features, that you won't find in 32-bit.
There are Vista and MS newsgroups that deal just with games.

Replace windows 7 home premium 64bit oem

Hi I've a Lenovo g770 laptop from Poland and using in uk. Changing language to uk does not work 100% on home premium edition. So if I buy new windows 7 in uk could I install this as a new oem version on the laptop replacing existing (which would be used as recovery) and therefore replacing the key associated with the machine, or just keep the original oem recovery as is and install new uk version - ending up with two keys one on machine for original and one for the Dvd version. Hope this makes sense.
Thanks

There is something else you may want look at first. Use Anytime upgrade to upgrade your existing version to Windows 7 Ultimate. That would allow you to install language packs and change your current version of windows to whatever language you want.

IS CS3 Production Premium incompatible with Win7 Home Premium 64bit?

I installed CS3 on my new machine with Windows7 Home Premium 64bit on it and it appeared to install correctly.
So when I click the photoshop.exe file it opens a window and freezes.... (not responding) I have sat for an extended amount of time and nothing ever happens beyond that.
If I use after effects or illustrator or flash... nothing happens at all... no windows... however If I open up my task manager, I can see the processes running for those programs... just no applications...
I have run as admin and in WinXP SP2 mode.
Disabled DEP and UAC.
Updated everything in the book.
I dont' get it...
So I am starting to wonder if it just isn't compatible with Win7.
Can anyone shed any light on the subject or direct me to anything that could help out?

Hudechrome,
Can you clarify on CS4 running in Windows 7? My employeer is upgrading to 64-Bit Windows 7 Ultimate (new laptop w/8 GB ram). I can re-install with XP if I really want to.
For Win7 Ultimate, do I just run the 32-bit PS CS4 app for best results or is there something special I need to do?
Thanks!
Please read what I said, excerpted here:
"...and they work fine in all 64 bit OS including Win7...as 32 bit programs."
Now Dec9 has some further notes above which should work fine. Personally, I will change everything when CS5 arrives. Hardware, OS and programs. Since I am still running CS3 (which should also run on Win7 at 32 bits) I am in no hurry to upset a rather well oiled editing system. Yesterday, I did upgrades to my hardware, adding an additional 1TB drive. I needed extra sata connections so I added a PCI sata card, blew out the dust bunnies, installed the HD and the damn thing wouldn't even post!
It runs now.
Wouldn't dare not !!

Is Win 7 OS download available for Home Premium 00359-OEM-8992687-00010

I guess I’d need to find a correct version of my Windows 7 Home Premium OS for my HP Pavilion laptop. Is there any link available I could download it ?
I have tried official Windows 7 downloads (link below). They work fine but I am not able to activate them. I have tried both Home premium (English version) and Professional (Finnish version). The same activation problem always persists. A Finnish version would be of couse more convenient for me if available.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-from-digital-river
Before any recovery attempts I sought the activation code (xxxxx-xxxxx-BC3HD-73CQT-WMF7J-3Q6C9) with this program (the sticker at the bottom of my computer was not readable any more. I really had it on bottom of my computer, not in the battery box like on newer models.
http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder
The whole problem roots from back and fourth installation of Service pack update. 3 months I hoped the problem would automatically solve itself but it persisted. So, first I used the built in recovery possibility from the hard disk of my machine. Soon the problem (back and forth installation and cancelling of service pack update while start up of my computer) appeared again. I tried this 3 times with out any improvement. So I went to seeking for intact OS. These work but I can not activate them! Now the built in Recovery option is not usable any more.
What shall I do ?

Yes, this worked ! Recovery worked after I turned it active
Santa Claus found me even though we have no snow in Finland this Christmas
I assume it will appear activated when I connect computer to internet.
I just had problems to find the "disk management" but I found it with the seek tool. May be my net Win 7 was some how different and I could not recognize the buttoms. Now everything is again as it were long time ago.
So far, I didn't connect that compuret to internet to make the recovery disks later. I need to go and buy, besause I lost the last ones burning the windows intallation DVDs from internet.
Next issue will be how I can avoid mistakes in Service pack installation. Yes, that should happen automatically but last attempts failed and ended up as repeated installation and cancellation.
I earlier tried to run the setup.exe files with double clicks but they did not start to run.
With activation the partition I succeeded !
Thank you

Win7 home premium alternative to SS?

Accepting (though not wanting to) that MS will not roll out SS for win7.
And realising that I as a home premium user I cannot access gpedit.msc
how the ____ can i lock down my pc as i did on xp to stop my kids from screwing it up?
SS was free and I don't really want to be paying for anything unless i really have to.

This probably isn't a feasible solution for you, but still, the easiest way would be to get a separate laptop for your kids, and have them each have their own account without Administrator privileges, with a good free AV/AS solution, like Avast or Microsoft
Security Essentials. Since I am assuming Mom and Dad's machine is important, keep the kids off it as much as you can by giving them their own laptop. You can get a netbook these days for very cheap ($200 - $300) and you can share the Internet connection (most
home network cable connections have a router with built-in wireless, whether supplied by your ISP or sold retail) and keep any malware isolated to just their machines, and not have to worry about them messing with your machine. The kids netbook can have XP
Pro on it and you can use SteadyState on it. No need for Windows 7, if it is just for your kids; of course it depends on what they need it for...
I don't have kids but I do have a wife and this is why I gave her her own laptop. Also solves the problem of "ARE YOU FINISHED YET?" :D

Nano Second generation, windows vista home premium NOT RECOGNIZEING IPOD!

Ok this has been driving me CRAZY for the last week. I've tried EVERYTHING that apple has on their support site. I've tried anything that I thought would work from this support forum. NOTHING has worked. I recently built this computer. Installed all the drivers for the mother board. Everything is working fine. My mouse, printer, USB speakers. ALL work fine. Just my Ipod and my Cell phone are not being recognized by windows, and my ipod by itunes. I think my cell might be fixed by fixing the ipod problem, as it may be the similar problem.
Anyways, I saw a post about disconnecting your printer and reconnecting your ipod. I hear the printer disconnect ( in the device manager it shows the printer as a mass storage device), but the ipod still dont show.
When I connect my IPOD to my usb cable, it will show on the IPOD that its either trying to charge, or in the case at the moment, that its fully charged ( the battery with the plug in it). But STILL wont show anywhere in my computer. I may take one of my cdroms out of my new build and put it back in my old computer, TRY to see if my ipod works on that computer ( which it did before I built this new computer and had all these problems).
AGAIN, I've done EVERYTHING on the support site (main), this support site ( most of anything I could find for vista, let alone home premium), anything that I could think of which wasnt much else that was already covered. ANY help would be VERY appreciated. ALSO, is it just me or is there no where to email apple and have them give you some FREE tech support? Or do they want more $$ from consumers? Sorry, Im just venting and Im hungry thanks guys

Ok, Update. IPOD still not working. I also recently downloaded Ventrilo (off topic but may have some value here) and tried to run it. Needless to say it dont work. So I went to THEIR troubleshooting forum and found that my new MOBO with Nforce Network manager has a problem with allowing vent to run properly. Im not sure if ALL of you have a Nvidia mainboard with Nforce software on it. But, Mine does and what THEY (the vent forum) say is to delete that piece of the software and everything should work great (vent). My problem is, if I delete the network manager. My internet stops working. :/ Hopefully evga ( my main board) responds to me with a answer to WHY my internet stops working, and how to fix it without installing the network manager. But if anyone here has any tips to solve that problem, Id really appreciate it. since my ipod is basically useless now as it is.
O AND BY THE WAY! I downloaded iTunes 8, same problem. So Im thinking it may very well be that software/driver (network manager) thats causing my problem. Ill let you all know what they say. Also If anyone else who has this problem also uses nforce chipset / network driver, and is having this problem. Let us know. Maybe we can all email nvidia and tell them how they are great at some things but need to fire all their division of network manager creators. Because they obviously are not doing their job.

How to access group policy in windows 8 home premium, not 8.1 to disable snipping tool

how do I access group policy to disable the snipping tool in windows 8 home premium? client has not installed update 8.1. client is trying to save pictures to pictures album, but it also saves a screenshot to the documents folder as well regardless
of what save method is used.
thanks.

You can disable the Snipping Tool by creating the below registry setting
(save as a .REG file)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\TabletPC]
"DisableSnippingTool"=dword:00000001
ref: http://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/Default.aspx?PolicyID=2426
I am not aware of any Snipping Tool feature which automatically saves the snip, as a file.
(there are other utilities available which can perform similar functions)

Freezing on Win7 Home Premium x64 with Flash Player 11.5.500.85

I have the same browser freezing problem with both 11.4.402.278 and the 11.5 beta on two identical HP DV9700T Laptops running Windows 7 Home Premium x64.   Loading pages with flash cause the browser to hang. If I kill the flash process the browser resumes. Note: When I am on a page with flash there are two flash processes in TaskManager. I am using FireFox primarily, but the same freezing behavior is observed in IE. So far, in IE, I have only seen one Flash ActiveX process.     Significantly older versions of of Flash work fine.
Both systems have AVG Free edition. The problem still occurs when I "Temporarily Disable" the realtime scanner. Both systems have nVidia video cards.
When it freezes the cursor behaves normally, just the browser window is 100% unresponsive. I can ctrl-alt-del to bring up task manager or I can use the Windows Flag (start)->Run   (yes, I have "run" manually turned on in my windows 7...I can't operate without it.)
Both systems have HP All in One Printer drivers installed as well as: Office 2007, Media Player Classic Home Cinema set to default for all media types, 7-Zip, Adobe Reader, CCleaner, Spybot S&D, CDBurnerXP, Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 (12), Java, .NET, Various Visual C++ Runtimes, iTunes.     Those are all the common software programs.

I'm not sure there is anything unique about my configuration. Months before this problem, I would continually get the prompt that the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player needed to be downloaded. I would download it but the message never would go away. I do get this error every time I reboot: Error in C:\Windows\system32\nvsvc.dll Missing entry:nvsvcStart. I did notice these errors in Device Manager: AGEIA Phys X100 Series PCI Express Card - this device cannot find enough free resources that it can use (code 12). If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system
and
Network Adapters - Microsoft ISATAP Adapter: This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device Code 31.
I added two new user accounts, on the both the DLL error comes up. Then it asks to set up Internet Explorer 9 with the choices Use recommended security and compatibility settings. SmartScreen Filter helps protect you from malicious websites and software by sending some web addresses to Microsoft to be checked. ... If I select this the problem occurs. On the other new user account I did not check this and I did experience Internet Explorer pages that use Adobe Flash Player loading at a crawl. Does this indicate SmartScreen Filter has issues or is having compatability issues with my antivirus\antispyware software? I appreciate any suggestions.
