  1. Restore old Office from a failed laptops hard drive through USB


    My old laptop failed. I have a new laptop with Windows 11 and the old hard drive is fully accessible including the register files. I also have the original Microsoft Office disks and the 25 digit key but my new laptop does not have a disk drive. I would like to reinstall Office from the z office folder in my old drive through the USB port. Any help,thanks.

    :)

    Free hard drive backup/restore program?

    I am looking for a free (freeware) program that will back up and restore a hard drive. I'm looking to clone a few external hard drives. If the program will backup the used space instead of the whole drive this will be awesome! Thanks for any suggestions.

  3. Free hard drive backup/restore program?

    Obviously you're looking for something besides your Xp Pro utility that does this?

    No Security Tab on hard drive from old laptop

    I doubt that's the drive unless it's 256mb. It also has two drives ganged together there which looks dysfunctional. Have you tried another USB port, preferably USB3 which is blue inside?

    If you choose Safely Remove Device what does it label the Z? How about F?

    Is there a drive power cable included? This could be the issue.

    If you then remove and plug it back in , does it confirm that Z is the drive?

    I've had adapter cables like that fail to work before. You may need to plug the hard drive back into the old laptop, boot the Windows 7 Repair disk or installation media and follow these steps to

    to a USB drive.

    Windows 7 bootable media is available from
    Microsoft Windows and Office ISO Download Tool.
