I want to know how to transfer my OS to a new hard drive, as I am not keen on having to re-purchase another copy of windows for a new hard drive just because of hard drive problems.
I understand this will require much deactivating and uninstalling, of not only windows, but also other programs such as MOffice, Lightroom etc.
How do I go about achieving this? Ideally, I want to do this all without requiring an internet connection. My computer is not connected to the internet, and I want it to stay that way I am using a public computer to ask this question. If I really need to, I can take my computer to a location where I can get basic internet access, but I would prefer to avoid this.
Another issue is that I may not have the original Windows 7 installation disk I will search my house again to check. I cannot recall if I was given the disk when I bought my computer.
In Australia, computer shops rarely provide customers with the installation disks for the programs that the customer has purchased, if the computer shop has done the installation for the customer which is what happened in my case. Also, I would like to give the new hard drive a letter other than C for example K , as soooo many programs refuse to install to any hard drive other than the C drive. I want to do this so that the OS is totally segregated from all other programs and data. This thread is locked.

Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Of course, your setup will be different. Select the location where the image of your installation will be stored. First of all, choose the source hard disk. You also can clone external hard drive or USB flash drive in Windows 7.
Just choose the source hard disk. Now, just choose the destination disk. AweClone will clone the source hard disk to the destination disk without any loss. You can edit the disk before it clones your hard disk. Or just let it directly clone the hard drive by clicking on "Clone" button. Here, you can follow these steps to clone hard drive partition in Windows 7. Activate Windows 7 or Windows 8. When you begin activation, Windows will try to use your Internet connection to activate online.
If you have problems activating online, you can activate using the phone. If you have to use Phone Activation, read this detailed information about using that method:.

The Windows copying will overwrite all data on it. The whole Windows 7 copying process takes you a few seconds. After that, you'll get a "Successfully cloned" message.
That's to say, you've done the Windows 7 copying work successfully. If you plan to only clone a partition, you can choose the "Clone A Partition" before the first step above, then the left steps as similar to the steps of cloning an entire disk.
It's really a painless job. Try it by yourself now!
