Windows 10: Windows 7 recovery disk on SSD

Can I use windows 7 recovery disk made on an HDD to install windows on SSD?

Installing Drivers in Recovery M4 SSD

I can't seem to figure out how to install drivers so that can copy my system image to new laptop hard drive. I went as far as to install a new inactivated windows 7 onto the hard drive so I know it works, but when I point recovery at C:\Windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys, I got an error something along the lines of "not relevant to system hardware" (or something like that I forget the exact wording).

I can list the drive in diskpart, and I made sure it is not excluded for copying the image, but after 3 days of fiddling, I still can't get it to work. Where is the driver that I need for recovery to be able to install an image to the new hard drive? I checked crucial website, but they don't seem to list drivers for M4. I assume that since I was able to install a fresh inactivated Windows 7 from a startup disk that the driver I need would be somewhere in that system so maybe I'm just pointing recovery at the wrong file?

 

SSD TRIM on windows 7

Well it was...
As I mentioned earlier we cloned the recovery partition from the HDD to the SSD , installed the SSD and installed windows 7 after that.

You should know it was about windows 7 as already stated in the thread title.... Not sure how you missed that....
