  1. Is there a way to do a clean install of windows between two laptops?


    I am wondering if it is possible to connect a laptop to another pc and install a clean copy of windows like that. My laptop at the moment turns on but nothing comes up on the screen and externel monitors only work if the desktop is on, they dont show anything during installation screens. I think I might have somehow bricked the device ehile trying to install from a USB, as it powers up but nothing else at all comes up anymore. It immediatly turns off it I press the power button. Is there anyway I can fix this at all?

    :)

  2. Clean Install Workaround for Vista

    You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:
    • Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
    • When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
    • Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
    • When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
    • This time enter your product key
    • When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
    • Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it
    Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
