Putting my OS on an SSD without disk?

IntroGamer · Jan 5, 2014

I'm thinking of getting an SSD for my Pc for my booting and some other commonly used programs. I am just not sure how at all to go about putting the OS on the SSD without a disk.

If anyone could help, that'd be great!

This says I still need the disk. I bought this pc prebuilt (but have since upgraded some parts) so I dont have one.

Requirements:

A Windows 7 ISO or DVD [See Where Can I Download Windows 7? for information on getting an ISO image]

You can download a legal Win 7 ISO online.
Then it's just a matter of using the product key found on a sticker on your computer. It's required to be there on every prebuilt. If you removed it, google how to find your windows 7 product key.

Ah, okay! Thank you so much.

Oh wait, can I ask if downloading the enterprise version, then I put my key in, will it switch to my version? Or will it stay as the 90 day tiral? Thanks!

No, enterprise is a completely different beast. You want the exact same version of windows as was installed originally - that's the only thing your key is good for.
