Is it possible to delete all of the windows 7 operating system components and all of the updates to windows 7 from a Macriums Reflect image of my hard drive that has been updated to Windows 10. This, so I can transfer the Macrium Reflect Image to a new Computer?
or
Is it possible to install a copy of Windows 7 (W/serial number) on a new computer and then just transfer everything but the Operating system from Macrium Reflect? Then upgrade to Windows 10.
A couple of explanatory notes: Don’t think that I believe that I know a lot about how computers work, I don’t and I don’t. I got the new computer because the other (I hesitate to say old) computer’s hard drive was getting loaded to the point of slowing thing down. I like to say that is why I had to get a new computer. Not true, I just wanted one. The dross on the HD was all of the old Windows 7 stuff that I don’t think (but I am not sure) that I need. The difference between the cost of 50 gig SSHD and a 1 Terabyte SSHD is 3times.
Notwithstanding that when you go on a trip you take just the things you think you will need. You don’t take everything that you own. Carrying that stuff around will slow you down. Every time you start your computer you go on a trip. Please pardon the metaphor, I know it stinks.
