Taking system image from win 200o to win 7 x64

hello,funny question but i need asistance with making complete system image from windows 2000 32 bit service pack 4 to windows 7 x64,can someone tell me which tool is the most reliable and is this possible at all?thx

 

This doesn't make any sense to me. The purpose of a system image is to make an exact copy of an OS installation. If you make a system image of W2000, it will still be W2000 when restored, nothing else.

Or are you looking for software that will make system images on various Windows versions, including W2000 and W7?

Are you sure you're not talking about upgrading?

 

Not going to happen. 2000 image will reimage to 2000 windows not a Win7x64. What your asking is a upgrade or migration to Windows 7x64. Also Win7 most likely will not work on Windows 2000 hardware and there also be no drivers for it. That O/S is far to old for a Windows 7x64 installation. Also 32bit doesn't upgrade to 64bit never has and never will. I requires a complete x64 to x64. And then you have the problem of CPU - when Win7x64 install if it check and the CPU isn't x64 chipset it will stop installation.

 

Yeah, good luck with that

Okay thx for answers

 

It could possibly work with Windows 7 X86, since it was only in Windows 8.1 that the requirement for CPU features such as PAE and SSE2 were introduced. I'm pretty sure Windows 7 had fairly lax requirements. I remember installing and running Windows 7 on a single core, Pentium M Dell Latitude D600 (Which is from the XP era and about 11 years old now IIR). I'd be dubious as to whether that system has an x64 bit compatible processor so you will probably require the 32bit version of 7.

As to how well it will run... It could be interesting. I know my grandmother uses my old Dell D600 with Windows 7 on a daily basis to email and 'surf over the interwebs'. Her minimal requirements are well met by the single core Pentium M and 2GB of RAM. I was actually rather surprised to find that she's become very, very proficient at web browsing - turns out she's made good use of that system.

Almost no chance that Intel will provide decent graphics drivers so you will be stuck on a gimpy screen resolution and with no fancy Aero transparency but the chipset graphics won't be up to providing them anyway. I suppose there's always the chance that there's AMD/ATI graphics in there, in which case there are hacked drivers to get them working (As my D600 did) but it's so old who really cares?
