Dead hard drive
Need some help here all!!.. I have a HP IQ804 that originally came with
Vista. I then installed win7 asap as Vista was killing it in performance. I had tried to up it to win 8 when it was released but it would not work (graphics issue). I kind of put the computer in a closet for a year or more as I really did not have room for it anywhere. (26" touchsmart) For s**ts and giggles I thought I would give win 10 a shot as it is of course free. Lo and behold it works great on that computer and the wife was going to put it in the new kitchen and use it for recipes and media etc. Now the hard drive has taken a dump and needs to be replaced. I ran all the diagnostics in the world and yes it is dead. My question is, I did not manage to get a backup done before it crashed and I do not really care as it was gonna be wiped anyways and then put win 10 on fresh. I can replace the drive no problem but I am not sure what to do after plunking in a new drive. I have always had a op system to start with then clone or whatever. How do I get one on the drive as well as any other software/drivers needed. |
