Install Windows on one computer, run it on another

February 8th, 2020

I haven’t got a 8GB USB nor a DVD Drive on the PC I want to equip with my new SSD. I’ve found this tutorial for installing it directly from the drive itself: http://www.instructables.com/id/Install-Windows-7-without-USB-or-DVD-without-upgra/ but the problem is I have 32-bit CPU in my laptop and 64-bit CPU in the target PC. Is there a way to install Windows 8.1 x64 on my laptop and then transfer that SSD into my PC. I know I’ll have to configure drivers manually but will it be able to boot from SSD and run the HDD I currently have in PC without problems?
Answer #1
I don’t think so..If the system do not detect 64 bit CPU..It will not install 64 bit Windows…
You just have to settle for the 32 bit version..
Alternative you can buy yourself a USB Pen..They are dirt cheap now..
Answer #2
Try to boot from network
Maybe work with 8

Just download Rufus [free. Just google] and All-in-one window iso file from Apps section and Google for tut how to make USB using Rufus and what option to select in Rufus app while making USB portable. The all in one iso of window will have windows for both type CPUs. You will need a USB drive over 8GB ofcourse
