How To Install New Operating System Without Having To Reinstall Applications by sammy4emy: 8:47am On Aug 29, 2012 |
It really becomes cumbersome and time taking when you want to format [to install a new operating system or want to reinstall the existing operating system] your operating system and you have to install all your applications once again,but have no worries solution is here! STEPS Open the drive in which your windows is installed. Go to program files, click open and you get a list of software installed (applications) on your computer. Now the software folders which start with "windows" caption are system files and need not be moved as they come pre-installed with the operating system. And the softwares which require a certain registration or key's can't be moved directly as that of those which don't require any type of key for this you require a software named "SymMover" and its free (Google it and download it). with the help of software you can move these applications to non windows hard drives. In symmover you add files from your windows hard drive to non-windows hard drives and shift it. Once you move all your applications. format your system and install your new operating system. After installing your windows operating system install symmover onto your new operating system and restore back your applications files from your non-windows hard drive to windows hard drive folder (in programs folder)using symmover. NOTE Make sure you use the software instead of doing things manually. Learn how to use software before hand however its easy to use. Windows hard drive is generally denoted by "local disk C". For 64bit operating systems there are two program folders one is x86 and other is normal program files.So move both of these program files while using symmover. Move the applications to a non - window hard drive only. Install your new operating system in old windows hard drive only and not in the one you moved applications to. |
