Windows 10 System replace Windows 7 system disk partition considerations Two

1. Convert the GPT partition table format of the hard disk to the MBR partitioned table format in the original WIN10 system

Previous about the new machine pre-installed WIN10 system replacement for the WIN7 system to the need to convert the hard disk's GPT partition table format to the MBR partition table format, the link in the end of the article is described in the detailed steps in the use of the system CD-ROM installation WIN7 case, but my laptop does not have optical drive, You can't use that method to convert the hard disk partition format. At this point, you can use a software called Diskgenius to convert. The steps are as follows:

1. Download, install and run the partition tool Diskgenius (preferably in C drive)
2. Delete all partition volumes. (All partitions of the mechanical hard disk, if the computer has data, be sure to back up the data after operation)
3. After deleting all, save changes
4. Open the hard drive and click "Convert partition table type to MBR format"
5. Select OK in the pop-up prompt window.

2. Make USB drive Boot disk

Then went to the "Windows Boot Manager" interface, because just deleted all the partitions, there is no data, the computer is equivalent to the system is not. So you can not directly double-click the downloaded system image to install the WIN7 system online, you need to use the System CD-ROM installation or USB flash drive installation. Because there is no system CD, I chose the USB stick to boot the installation. Here need to use other computer to make USB drive boot disk, friend recommended the old Peaches U disk start making tools. See link http://www.laomaotao.org/jiaocheng/92/upqdzz.html for detailed steps.

When the installation version of the old Peaches U disk Startup disk after the completion of the need to download a pure WIN7 system image file (http://www.itellyou.cn/) stored on the USB flash drive.

3. Install WIN7 using USB drive boot disk

After the preparation is done, you can insert the USB stick boot disk into your laptop to install it. Since there is no system at this time, can only enter the BIOS, here need to set up in the BIOS USB flash drive for the first boot (F12 or delete). See http://www.laomaotao.org/jiaocheng/92/upzwin7.html For detailed steps on installing the WIN7 system using the USB drive boot disk. It is important to note that if you follow the steps of the link directly in the disk list is not found in the system disk C disk, because we have just converted the hard disk partition format has been removed all the partition volume. At this time, you can directly use the old Peaches PE system desktop Diskgenius to partition the disk, specific steps Baidu. After the Cdef disk, open the "Old Peaches PE machine tool" on the desktop to install. And then basically it's done.
