  By definition, means a 'upgrade' (as opposed to a new installation)
  that all data, programs, etc. are kept intact.
   
  There is however no guarantee that it always works perfectly.
  However unlikely, it is always possible that something can go wrong.
  That is why he is careful to make sure you have a backup of anything
  You can't afford to lose before you start.

• MS complete PC Backup and Restore for Vista Ultimate backup programs and files?

  I'm new to computers and there is still a lot to learn, I have an OS Vista Home Premium and I think to upgrade to Ultimate and I read that the complete PC Backup and restore can be used with MS Virtual Server to back up the computer. But what I read didn't specifically tell me if she saves some programs I downloaded, it says full backup but computer language being what it is I don't quite mean it as programs and files, which is what I'm interested in. So I can save my programs and files with this system? I don't want to go all the time, trouble and upgrade costs if I can only do half of what I want to do. Thanks a lot for any help on this idea.

  Hello

• Transfer programs and files from vista to windows7 diff computers?

  How can I transfer programs and files from my previous laptop running windows vista on my new one that works on windows 7? I have a 320 GB external hard drive... someone please help cause I have a lot of programs on my previous laptop which i have already paid and don't want to lose them or have to buy it again...

  You can transfer data and settings using Windows Easy Transfer files

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/Windows-easy-transfer

  Programs need to be reinstalled. If you can reinstall the programs without having to pay for them still depends on the license agreement. Some programs allow you to transfer to another computer if remove you it from the current computer. Some programs allow multiple installations. Some programs require buying a new copy.

• Need to backup all programs and files without the System Image

  Hi all

  Recently, I myself in a dilemma. I installed 4 additional disks with the intention of creating a RAID volume supported by the BIOS. To do this, I need to change the BIOS setting of the controller which includes all the volumes, including my boot drive (that I don't intend to RAID). The problem I have is that when I pass the UEFI to RAID controller, Windows Recovery will not use the System Image I did. He said that the volume was created under a different arrangement (Bios vs. EFI).

  What are my options? Is there a different backup setting, which allows to keep all my installed software? I am not concerned with the data that I can copy it to an external volume, but it would take several days to get all of my software reinstalled. I would like to avoid this. I guess I'll have to reinstall Windows Pro 8.1 and then use a backup program to restore everything. If this is the case, then I need to know which backup program will work. If there is a better way, I would like to know. I see my options in the form, get another backup program, get a map of controller for the boot drive or the RAID volume or just reinstall.

  Thank you

• How come back initially on an editing session without closing the entire program and start again?

  How come back initially on an editing session without closing the entire program and start again?

  Hello

  There are two answers to this. If you have not saved the image since the opening, you can restore the file Menu-Revert or F12 and that will bring back you at the beginning. A more elegant solution is the historical Panel.

  Photoshop has a history panel (Windows Menu-history) that keeps track of everything you do on an image and allows you to go back in the flow of work and in effect then go ahead if you change your mind. The original image is always registered as a snapshot and then subsequent action recording. So you can come back not only the original image, but any previous change after opening. You can even take your own snapshots which is a useful feature.

  Hope that helps

  But I still don't see them on eventhrough network I can access by this method. Please help me solve this problem.
