A good way to port the system and software and settings to a new computer

Computer shop news

The festival is a business promotion season, many individual users are buying new computers at this time, but the key hardware upgrade After (such as motherboard, CPU) often have to re-install the system, some software and personal settings in the original system can only give up? Today, we introduce a method to transplant the original system and software and related settings to the new computer!

In addition to purchasing a new computer, you need to reinstall the system. Some users may choose to upgrade some computer configurations. However, after replacing the main hardware such as the motherboard and CPU, it is necessary to reinstall the system, which will result in the loss of software and personal settings. And today, to everyone, "transplant" is not a simple cloning system, because it will definitely appear "rejection reaction" & mdash; & mdash; can not start or blue screen phenomenon! The following is to introduce to everyone is A " martial arts master & rdquo; & mdash; & mdash; Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server (named backup server Enterprise Server Edition, hereinafter referred to as ATI) and its right hand & mdash; & mdash; Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server Universal Restore ( ATI universal restore kit, hereinafter referred to as UR), let them help us achieve the perfect portable system!

love Win7, will transplant the old system to a virtual machine

computer configuration upgrade or purchase After the new computer, many users will choose to install a new Windows 7 (hereafter referred to as Win7) system. In addition to the original system and software settings, some of the software in the original system may not run in the Win7 system. Earlier we talked about using virtual machines to solve this problem, but how to port the old computer software and information to the virtual machine has not been said. Below, we will convert the old system including software into a virtual machine hard disk file through ATI, and then load the hard disk file in the virtual machine, and the hardware information of the original system has been removed at the same time of conversion, so there is no problem in use. .

Backing up the old system Converting the file format

Install and start ATI on the old computer, select “Backup” (backup, interface as shown in Figure 1), follow the prompts. It should be noted that the backup type should select “My Computer” because the entire system partition needs to be backed up instead of the file. In addition, in order to speed up the backup and reduce the size of the backup file, it is best to set some useless temporary files, page files and hibernation files to not be backed up.

backup is complete in order to enter

menu & ldquo; Tools & rarr; Convert Backup To Virtual Disk & rdquo; format conversion, selected to be converted backup file and then select the virtual machine hard disk type (here to choose a virtual machine the VMware) to The conversion speed is very fast and it takes a few minutes to complete.

Run the virtual machine to load the old system

Install and start the virtual machine software VMware 7.0 on the new computer, select “New virtual machine” and follow the prompts to create a system with the old computer. A virtual machine of the same type. In the case that the virtual machine is shut down, enter "Edit Virtual Machine Settings", delete the original hard disk, and then add the virtual hard disk file that has just been converted. The virtual hard disk is added successfully, and there is no difference, just in When adding, a prompt box for converting the hard disk file to the new format will appear. If the version of VMware used is 6.5-7.0, it is recommended to select the conversion, so that the hard disk is more efficient.

Tip: Note that if the hard disk format is converted, the virtual machine of VMware 6.5 or lower will not be able to use the converted hard disk file.

Now the virtual machine can not be started immediately, because the virtual machine hard disk is in the slave disk position, we have to select the virtual hard disk, enter the "Advanced" option, will "virtual device node" & rdquo; Change from “IDE 0:1” to “IDE 0:0”, from the slave to the master, the virtual machine can be started. After startup, it will search and automatically install some hardware drivers. After that, the system and software will be installed. Can be used normally, the same as the original old computer (as shown in Figure 2), and if the host can access the Internet, the virtual machine can also access the Internet.
