Will this drive allow me to store a complete system image from my Windows 7 computer and then restore if necessary?

As long as the system doesn't have more than 500gb of data on its hard drive.

I think so, as you won't be using is as the boot drive. You should.be able to access any good files.

I wouldn't do that. I'd use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your drive first. If you can.

I would say Yes, but as soon as you have it installed be sure to format the drive. Also, be sure that you have ALL your files backed up, and get ready for a long process of updating the operating system, and your security software, only after that can you reinstall your programs and finally after that you can restore your files. I hope you have tremendous amount of patience. Good luck

It will work just fine. I have Windows 7 pro 64, and it has plenty of storage. After I plug it in and installed the free software for backup, I was ready to go.

Are you talking about cloning the contents of this drive to your computer? If so, yes. It is indeed possible, manually or with the help of freeware. I recommend the latter though. I did the opposite though as I have a 3TB drive. Good luck.

Yes your system supports this drive. It does not come with any software for copying your old drive. You have a older PC, is it worth putting money into it?

I don't know absolutely about the max storage...I only have 180GB but I would think 1TB would be ok. However, it is definitely Win7. it becomes a USB drive, so most OS should be fine.

No it's a blank hard drive. You will need to format to what ever operating system u are using.

It's not an option with this version. You have to wipe the hard drive and install Windows 7 from scratch. So try and save your data off another drive or usb device.

It creates an image of the drive you are copying from. It can not transfer just the OS.

" Yes " It is quite versatile,I used my old hard drive as storage and as backup of my Windows 7, for an easy way to restore my system to original factory condition.

No....you have to put the OS. It was fairly simply to set up using my laptops original restore disks.

You can certainly copy it. I do not use automated backup routines (except for C: drive) so cannot comment on these.
