Yes, clone the operating system.

Can you create a copy of just the operating system from your hard drives? You have several Windows 7 drives that aren’t booting properly due to hardware issues. There’s a way to make a clean clone of the OS so you can start fresh on another machine, like a Dell XPS 730X.

You should clone it only for a clean installation because it’s similar to copying and then removing it.

Another approach exists. Install Paragon Adaptive Restore, start from USB, select "adjust os," and your Windows 7 will become bootable on another machine, initiating driver installation automatically. Make sure the USB has an HDD or SSD connected to the new computer.

Great! It functions perfectly. Appreciate your feedback. The product key didn’t show up, but I’m working on it.

Acknowledged. The issue seems resolved after enabling updates, which triggers a recheck of software status. Everything loads smoothly now. Appreciate your patience!
