Advice sought

bowser — 7/3/2013 3:40:16 AM (archived)

I'd like to load the contents of my desktop with Vista onto my Samsung laptop, erasing the contents of the Samsung and it's Windows 8.

Is there a way to do this, and have the thing work?

Or should I just buy some Linux system and load it into the laptop and gain some experience with that?

Thanks for whatever attention you can give this.

        Way back when, you had to go into BIOS and change the boot order. - RobVG - 7/4/2013 3:06:51 PM
