I encountered a woman on nextdoor whose computer was malfunctioning. I chose to repair it for free, but the hardware seemed broken and not worth fixing. I removed the hard drive and connected it to another machine, yet the OS fails to boot past the loading screen. I experience BSODs during both normal and safe mode starts, which don’t last long enough to notice a hard reset. Based on this, I suspect Windows 7 struggles more with hardware changes compared to Windows 10. I now have another hard drive in the new system with a fresh Windows 10 installation, and someone recommended using Livedisk to try fixing the older Windows 7 setup. I’m unsure what that process involves, but I think Windows 10 on a separate drive works just as well.
Regarding driver updates for her Windows 7 installation, I’d need guidance on chipset drivers or other necessary drivers. For context, the previous PC was a CompactPCi with an AthlonII AM2+ processor, while the current system uses an AM3 processor. I want to preserve her old setup because she isn’t tech-savvy and any changes should be minimal. I believe keeping things unchanged would greatly improve her quality of life.
*Note: I don’t have a Windows 7 disk available, and Microsoft doesn’t provide ISO files easily. I’m also unsure about downloading trusted software from unofficial sources.*
