Hello folks,
I plan to install 1TB SSHD on my Acer laptop. The 320GB has hidden OS partition. This post has 2 questions.
1. To be safe, I would like to copy the hidden partition of the current HDD to new HDD. What is the best and easiest way to do that? I am not smart enough to use Clonezilla (as a matter of fact, command line prompt freaks me out). I was considering EaseUS Disk Copy but open to other easier/better options.
I am not interested in cloning data. It is backed up.
2. I would like to perform clean install and use the key from laptop sticker. I heard that it works but I never got my hands on clean OS copy. There are few downloads available but I wonder if it is still available on Microsoft servers and if it is, can anyone point me to the ISO file.
My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
Thanks in advance.
