    Failing Win 10 Hard Drive .. how to reinstall Win 10 on a new HD


    Hi

    I have many sectors failed (1186) and 400 suspect ones according to Sentinal on my Desktop HD

    I am running Win 10 after upgrading from Win 7.
    If I buy another HD, how do I install Win10 on it as I only have the original Win 7 disc.

    Any help or links to follow would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Hard Drive Fail after Win 10 upgrade

    After upgrading to Win 10 through the free option, my hard drive failed. From what I read on this forum, I can obtain a new ISO copy to re-install on my new HD. The problem though is that my backup is on a Seagate Free Agent Drive that is not compatible
    with Win 10. My problem is how do I recover my data on the Free Agent. Seagate does not have a driver or updated software to work with Win 10. My computer had Vista on it which was upgrade to Win 7 Home via a purchased copy of an upgrade, From there I upgraded
    to Win 10 via the free download. How should I proceed: re-install Win 10 and go from there or reinstall Vista then upgrade it to Win 7 and then recover data from Free Agent and then upgrade to Win 10? A dilemma for sure?? Any suggestions would be GREATLY
    appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Reinstalling Win 10 to a replacement hard drive

    I have an HP Pavilon desktop which I upgraded to WIN 10 from WIN 7. The hard drive is starting to fail with a BIOHD-8 error.Before the drive fails I would like to create a set of restore or recovery disks so I can buy a new one terabyte drive to replace
    the current 750 gig drive and reinstall the current version of Win 10. Will creating an ISO disk image work if I used a one terabyte external USB to create the image and then replaced the drive and copied the image back? I'd like to use a set of DVD to create
    an image or recovery drive so I wouldn't have to "waste" the external Hard drive. The steps in Control panel create a Windows System Repair Disk and a System Image but it says its for WIN 7. What am I missing? Seems that the system image created for DVDs (64
    bit) would occupy 14.37 gig or four DVDs.

    Help

    reinstalling windows 7 on new hard drive prior to win 10 upgrade.

    My wife's win 7 computer is experiencing stability issues daily. I've exhausted all possibilities and feel a clean install may be the only option. . She has already reserved a win 10 upgrade. I'd like to install a new hard drive and reinstall win 7, will
    this jeopardize the win 10 upgrade? Actually to maintain my sanity my gut says to install new drive and reinstall win 7 regardless.
