moving from XP to Win 7
Posted: Sat Jun 26, 2010 7:44 pm
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. )
Thanks very much.
