switched off the laptop, replaced the original HDD with the new SSD get factory image on 16GB USB drive (I did not need the driver/app back-up in the end, it seems to be included in the first) Install Backtracker 3.0.3 on the HDD with Win 8 pre-installed

OK, I got a little bit impatient and swapped the HDD for the new SSD! And win 8 installation with the Backtracker image went very smoothly! This is the summary of what I did:

Now before you do anything, can you please double check if there is an install.wim in your usb stick created with backtracker? only play with the stock hdd after your ssd runs windows properly. you should swap the hdd with ssd, and keep the hdd for a while. if you do not have a compatible iso image for your laptop, the backtracker should be able to restore the windows into factory state, too. The easiest way to get a working w8 installation on your ssd is cloning via macrium reflect, or perform a clean install. if the limit is up and you try to activate windows online, it will fail. however most of the times, it is because these oem keys have reached the activation limit. Sometimes it might be the case that the key was not extracted properly. a beast like your g75vx surely need it to unleash its true power.įirst thing first: since you're on stock w8, it's best to back the activation tokens up using advanced tokens manager. After this first installation your v6 key becomes a Full key and your v5 key is deactivated.ĭownload a 30-day Trial of Macrium Reflect for Home or Business use.Hi congratulations on your new ssd. Note: You are only required to enter your v5 license key once.
