Manage updates with the Download App
I bought a Sdd and I didn't want to go through the trouble of migrating everything onto there including windows. So I removed the harddrive and installed the Sdd. I then Installed an extra windows 7 onto it and replugged the harddrive into the computer.
<div>Now the problem is I can't get internet for my computer and my screen resolution doesnt match what my actual resolution should be. I have a 25'' Screen but the screen in the monitor would be like 19''. For the internet I tried troubleshooting and it mentioned a network adapter. it couldnt be found.
I am going to remove the os from the other hard drive tommorow, but Im still not too sure what to do help please and thanks
</div>

You'll have to finish the installation of Windows 7 on that SSD by installing all drivers. Until everything works, I would continue using the old one.

drivers?

how exactly do I install the drivers?
No simple single way.
Let's say your PC came with a Windows 7 disk and a Driver and Utility disk. Then you put that in and say yes if it asks you to install the drivers.
Or let's say it came with a set of recovery disks. Those include everything: Windows, drivers, utilities, programs. The user manual says how to use them.
Or let's say yours is a custom made PC. Then you find all driver disks and driver diskettes that came with it.
Or let's say you only had that Windows 7 DVD. Then you visit the site of the maker of your PC or its parts, download all drivers you need, find out how to install them (some might be an exe that does the job, others might be an exe that when run makes a folder with a setup program, some might be a zip-file that includes a .inf file to click on) and do it.
It's all very easy if you've done it a few times.

I bought an oem version so it only includes 1 disk which installed windows onto it. I have no internet so I cant download the drivers. I switched to the hard drive for now and I have internet, so can I download the drivers frmo there and move it onto the Ssd? Also what drivers do i need.
