Migration Assistance

[ruffkidd]

Hello all

 

I was wondering whether someone would be able to provide me with some assistance.

 

I have recently added a new SATA HDD to my PC and have installed Windows 7 on it as a clean install.

 

My old HDD had Vista installed on it with all the drivers for the various other bits of hardware (printer, webcam, Wi-Fi dongle etc.) with a lot of software installed on an external HD.

 

The problem I have is two fold:

1.) None of the drivers have migrated across to enable me to even access the internet from Windows 7, even though I used the Easy Transfer Tool.

 

2.) The apps that were installed on the external HD will not work because of missing drivers and, I'm assuming, missing entries in the Windows registry file.

 

 

Can anyone offer any assistance on using the old drivers to at least get my internet to work and, perhaps more importantly, allow me to continue to make use of the software that I have already got installed on my computer without reinstalling?

 

Your help would be greatly appreciated and would save an immense amount of time.

Hello and welcome.

 

The first thing to do is go to the computer makers website and under there support tab input the computer make and model and it will give you the drivers to download.

 

They can be downloaded and saved on another computer and transfered and installed by using a USB pen drive,external hard drive,floppy disk or CD/DVD disk.
