moving from XP to Win 7

Post by jlittle »

Hello all.
I've moving from an XP machine to one with Win 7. I do backups to an external (USB) drive and I've made 2 assumptions regarding the move:
1) I can simply plug the external drive into the new machine and use Tools/Open job from backup media to load the files into the new machine.
2) I can move all my files except for the system files.

I'd like to know if my assumptions are correct. (I don't know about Wales, but there's a saying in America about what happens when you assume. :D )

Thanks very much.
John

Restore Windows XP data to Windows 7

Post by Barry »

There are some videos about using AISBackup to restore Windows XP data to Windows 7. You will have to re-install the programs on Windows 7.

Please see Restoring Your Data from Windows XP to Windows 7 (or Vista) on this web page:
