3. Record the product key (installation serial number) of the Installation File with paper ).
4. if possible, use a driver backup tool (for example, driver genie 2004 V1.9 Beta.exe) to back up all drivers in the original Windows 2000 to the hard disk (for example, F: \ Drive ). It is best to write down the model and manufacturer of the main hardware such as the motherboard, Nic, and video card, and download the driver for backup in advance.
