    Transfer apps to clean windows version


    Hi, i dual booted Linux and windows.


    I wanted to uninstall Linux and grub, so I mounted the EFI partition.

    Instead of deleting the Ubuntu folder I deleted the whole EFI folder.

    I made the Windows boot folder with a live USB stick.

    Now I can boot my computer but it can't hibernate and fast startup, so I want a clean windows install.

    But I have license codes and I don't want to install all my apps on the new installation.

    Can someone help me with transfer apps and license codes?


    My first plan was making a system image but that includes the EFI partitions so that is not an option anymore


    Sorry for my bad English

    :)

    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.

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
