HP系统应该有系统分区.

给分区做镜像, 保存. 其实你可以留着那个分区, 以后激活就可以重装win8

记得把win7装到另一个分区, 不要格盘.

Another method of image win8 live disk is also fine. Just it is not a 'system' disk that can be installed somewhere else.

However, I tried to use one win8 live partition on three machines, runs directly without re-installation ...
