I think its possible. I used norton ghost when i still used stupid windows then partimage, fsarchiver I think you can try to have a look at partimage. clone/backup/save your old hdd as image to a new partition on same hdd or on new ssd then restore that image to new ssd in best case it works immedia...

I keep win 8 cause it was shipped together with my laptop and only for gaming, and if future work require windows then i have window. Otherwise I would kick it out of my laptop 20 GB for OS, 20 GB for backup sth (dont even know what is inside that partition) If I could i would rather have XP install...

you forgot to mention that linux is boring you hardly ever get the error pop upssssss or blue screenssss of death. it runs too smooth and your day will get bored, no more heart attack sucks :lol: it need less place like the fat ass win vista+ (3GB vs 17GB) --> back up in linux = 90 seconds vs only 1...

I dont know what really was the problem, and i dont really know what solved it all i did was update, copy the rtlwifi onto desktop and using commands from jeremy sudo rmmod rtl8188ee sudo modprobe rtl8188ee swenc=1 dmesg | grep patch then shutdown and start the laptop(not restart, restart = next tim...

when I run that command there wont be anything, tried when wifi on and off
do I have to install something for that command?or should i install wicd network manager maybe ?

yeah I'm using LM17 at this moment and for previous post. AFter that I restarted --> no connection, restarted again now i have connection again. that is why i think i will need 2 more days to check this and also reinstall + update to see if update solved this problem PS: I'm using LM17 Mate not cinn...

I copied lib/firmwarghe/rtlwifi to desktop also updated using mint update since i saw linux driver package there after 2 restart it can connect to wifi, so i made a back up of current os using fsarchiver and restart again twice and both managed to connect to wifi. right now i am in LM17 and it work ...

Screenshot is from LMDE + USB stick which i used to install LM17 also the program I used to create that USB (Unetbootin didnt work so I used that one) I dont see any lib/firmware on it Screenshot-rtlwifi was made in LM17 and ironically it is having internet at this moment. Should I take any informat...

those kernel update happened long ago i dont remember what or why i did them anymore. some was stopped by myself cause it ran way too long. some might have succeed but the hardware or something didnt work like I expected so i just reinstalled (using fsarchiver) also I am kind of lost when building k...

I have no idea, I wanted to update kernel some times in past but never managed to do it (all failed and have to reinstall) This LM17 managed to connect once before(with much slow speed than LMDE) So I think it should still be able to reconnect, but since restart it cant anymore. May be I will try to...
