Hello everyone.

I had an HP Pavilion g6-1014sa laptop, which malfunctioned quite a while back; its hard disk drive had Windows 7 Ultimate x64 installed on it. I had a few yet important URLs bookmarked within Mozilla Firefox, while the said laptop was alive and in use; I now have a necessity to salvage those bookmarks, and was consequently wondering, if this is possible?

If so, is it suggested, I swap the existing internal hard disk drive of my current Acer Aspire V3-551 laptop with the aforementioned hard disk drive; or, can I retrieve the bookmarks, if I use the hard disk drive within an enclosure; which is its present circumstance, albeit I have not altered the default structure?

I await your valuable replies, and thank you all for your patience.

Copy the Firefox profile folder whose default location is C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox.It should have everything incl bookmarks,recent sessions history,saved form data like username/passwords etc.Simply paste the contents of profile folders into the profile folder of new firefox install in another system.

@whitestar_999; thank you very much for the suggestion, I will attempt it when I am at a leisure. I take it, I can do the said, using the hard disk drive within an enclosure (as a portable device); right?

Thanks for your patience, as always.

backup your data. start windows 7 installation by cd/dvd or usb pen drive, choose custom installation and format the win 10 install drive. If you want to dual boot then let us know.

You first have to be clear on whether you want to downgrade from W10 to W7 [OR] want to dual boot W7 along with existing W10.

It is either a spam or some person posting everywhere for some solution as IP indicates user registered from singapore,confirmed from Hong Kong & posted from China & it also indicates a solution in english might not be the best option(as chinese editions of win 7 differs a bit from standard english editions).

Just curious, is Microsoft still allowing to upgrade Windows 10 for existing Windows 7 users free of cost?

Actually that is not the case.MS allowed/allowing anyone with "properly activated" win 7/8.1,whether genuine or not,to free upgrade to win 10.

Yeah,missed that point.
Actually,proper activation can be done by using cracked versions also.
