Harddrive upgrade question

post #1 of 4

Hi,
I have a question and Lenovo's website doesn't seem to want to direct me to their tech support page. I have a ThinkPad T61 just over a year old with an 80GB HD and running Windows Vista Business. I want to upgrade the HD. When I install the new HD I will need to reinstall windows correct? Lenovo didn't offer discs for Windows Vista Business. If I take my notebook to a professional (i.e. my university) they should be able to install windows for me, right? Is there any way I could do this myself? Thanks for your help in advance.

you could use a program such as Acronis MigrateEasy to move your data and operating system to your new hard drive, or a professional can do it for you.

A professional electronic shop within the university? Sure

Thanks! I'm going to see if the university computer shop sells this software and how much it costs for the university staff to do it for me and weigh my options.There are several colleges in the area and I know they offer educational discounts.
