A friend called today in a state of panic. He had taken his old Windows 7 laptop into Frys and asked them to clone his old drive onto his new SSD drive. They reported to him (I have not seen this myself as I was not there) that they did as requested. However, now, both drives blue screen @ boot up.
They claim that the PCP board probably was on its 'last legs' and failed @ just the worst time imaginable.
I am fairly certain I know the answer to the following question but just in case...
Is there a way to recover his applications from the old drive, move them to the new drive after W7 is re-installed there, and re-install his old applications from the new drive? Providing he has the proper credentials, product codes, etc...
My answer would be 'no' due to the process one must navigate to install an application.
A million thanks,
Mike
