upgrade to Windows 7

‎03-27-2012 11:11 AM

I want to upgrade to Windows 7 using custom install but would like to keep the Cyberlink preloaded program. Is there a way to do that?

Compaq Presario CQ50

Hi:

 

Do you still have the SWSetup folder on your C:\ drive?

 

If so, click on that and you should see a bunch of sub folders labeled spXXXXX whereXXXXX is just a file number.

 

Click on each of those folders. They contain the program and driver installation files installed on your PC.

 

You'll have to seach each folder to see what's in there and hopefully you will find your Cyberlink install files.

 

Copy the whole SWSetup folder to a DVD or portable storage device and use that to reinstall whatever software you want.

 

Paul
