How do I recover software on a new SSD
Hello
After days of work I finaly have my system working.
Windows 7 was installed on a HDD and I want to replace de HDD with a SSD.
Now, my system is running, win 7 64 is installed on the SSD and up to date. Also some programs like bitdefender and firefox are installed.
Because I have lots of programs installed on other drives (flight sims on drive G and games on drive H and office on drive D) I want to restore to the situation on my windows 7 HDD.
Before I replace the HDD by a SSD, I made some backups with Acronis 2011 and an Image of the complete HDD.
Now I want to restore only the software part of the HDD installation to the SSD. Not windows and hardware drivers because those are ok. Further I hope, that the registry is also updated with installed software.
Is this posible?. I have read al kinds of kb articles but did not find answers so far.
Trying to restore within widows does not work, I get lots of erros like can not replace about.exe.
Thanks in advance
