Sys Prep (Win 7) Thinkpad X60T for X200T

I currently using a Thinkpad X60 Tablet, and plan to give it to my son (going to college), but I just recently upgraded the HD to a 640GB, installed Win7 Ulitmate, programs and etc. I have run SysPrep at work for running Images on Dells. So my question is this..... If I ran SysPrep with OBE on my X60T, took the HD and installed it in a X200T, would the SysPrep configure itself for the X200 Tablet?? From what I have read, the OBE SysPrep, is design for user's that change hardware on thier desktop. Any comments would be appreciated. This is just a thought as have not obtained an X200 Tablet yet. Looking at getting within the next 3 to 4 months, need to save some cash.

Thanks ahead for any comments.

 

While it may be possible to do a sysprep /generalize to move the drive, I'm not sure what it will do to your user profiles. I wouldn't recommend it; sysprep is mainly designed for making a standardized image rather than for moving a drive that already contains user data from one system to another. If you're set on it, I wouldn't try it without backing up your data first.

Don't use /oobe either, that = out-of-box-experience. If you decide to do it, /generalize is what clears the hardware info.

 

For one, moving an activated software from 1 laptop to a completely different laptop will throw off Microsoft's activation, it will detect a new motherboard.

You would also have to update the drivers and everything.

 

the OP's going to have to activate either way. presumably the reason why (i think) he wants to use sysprep is to 'clear out' the original drivers, etc.

i think he's overcomplicating it. i'd just pop the disk into the new machine, let it re-detect everything, supply any drivers that win7 doesn't detect or support and then remove the old devices & drivers manually. running sysprep for something like this somewhat pointless.

 

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate the time.
At work, I have build 3 images for the same Dell, mainly because we found some OS changes, (Local Security, Services, and Programs). So you run OBE, keeps all the user accounts, programs, but does not keep the settings. So, my thinking the generalize would work better, because the sysprep HD would re-adapt to the new X200 enviroment and adjust to the new hardware. Granted, I would have do some minor driver update. But I think this would work alot better then backing up my HD, (which I would do anyway) and reinstalling the OS. I have the HD partitioned into 6 sections for separation of Movies, Music, Files and Back ups. But like I said before, it is just a thought, something I am looking into doing. Just wanted to get some feed back on it. Plus, if this works, it is a good way to change notebook, should you want to upgrade. Thanks again.
