Its not a laptop, its a desktop and I am running Win7 upgraded from WinVista. I forced a backup and it turns out I do not have enough size to backup the image on Win7. Gateway assembled my computer and placed a factory sized 10GB Recover partition which was enough for WinVista, but not enough for Win7. I just need to upgrade. Ill make a restore disk just in case and then install the new HDD and clone to to it. Then ill delete the Recovery, create a new partition that is larger, and set my computer to recover to that new partition.
