Hi all, not sure if this is the right section but anyways.

I was wondering if its possible that i can create a virtual environment of Windows 7 x64 and install drivers and create a backup of it so that i can take this with me and restore it on my neighbors computer?

he is haveing alot of issues install programs (Google earth, Itunes) and his PC is cluttered with Virus / Malware (currently running malware and anti-virus software at the moment) but im afraid that the OS is too far damaged that i think a total redo of the OS would be better.

If i cant use the VM can i clone my own harddrive? i use a SSD with windows on it and i need his drivers for his motherboard.

or should i just get a windows CD and format it and start from scratch and make a proper backup with everything once im finish on his computer
 
You should use his version of Windows 7 with his legal license key. Reinstall the OS and drivers, then create a backup on a spare partition for him so there is an image that can be restored.

If he has no legal copy of Windows 7, he needs to buy one.
 
Alright well i hope malware and anti-virus find results to take them out

google earth freezes up every time he starts it and he is always getting Error 7 in itunes and i did a repair install of Netframework 4 and that didnt do anything.
