  Remails a question. My venus of cable data transfer with a disc Intelemover with Windows Easy Transfer is that the disc is no longer necessary with WET?

  It has nothing to do with Windows Easy Transfer (Intellimover that is).

  You can probably use the cable - if you wish.  I prefer to use a large external USB drive or share network - this way, that I have a copy of all that I could move to multiple computers or almost as a backup at low cost.

• I am trying to install windows 7 64 bit on my laptop. I have Vista 32 bit and 7 32 bit out there, but when I try to load the easy transfer from the dvd, he says it is not compatible.

  I would agree with everything destroyed and, if there is a way to get windows 7 64 bit on my drive.  Transfer easily gets a «not compatible...» "answer, as does the dvd when you try to start it.

  To switch from Vista to Windows 7 see the following download link (you will need the 32-bit version): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-easy-transfer

• Move from vista to windows 7 on the same computer. Is it necessary to make a "transfer"?

  I'm doing an upgrade on my computer from vista to windows 7.

  Am a little confused about the need to "transfer" of data to an external source.

  What is a precautionary measure, used to retrieve the data if something terrible happens?

  Or is it that, after the upgrade to windows 7, the data is then "transferred", back on the computer newly improved?

  Windows Update has nothing to with the upgrade of Windows. Please post future questions about the upgrade in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

• Questions about the use of Easy Transfer from XP to Win7

  I looked at some of the information on the use of passing Easy Transfer from XP to Win7, and confusing; so, I am confused and hope that someone out there knows the answers. (1) I downloaded the program and he ran; It seems to be different from what is in Wn7 and a tutorial: are they?  It simply shows the user files and shared are saved but does not show me what files.  And it doesn't seem to be any way to look at in the. MIG file to see what is there.  (2) after a new install of WIn7, ITI said to run Easy Transfer to restore files, but I don't see anything on how to do?  (3) in addition, each report I've read, but one said first do the restore and then install the necessary programs.  This seems to be doomed to failure; a program can create a nrew shirts, overwriting the data was placed in the same, old files.

• Currently I have the two ("FreeCell" and "Spider") to 99% of victories and want to keep the TWO scores is going when I go from Vista to Windows 7.

  Original title: spider solitaire

  OK, this may sound stupid, but I play a lot of solitaire in the form of "FreeCell" and "Spider". (thousands of games scored, both were copied from XP to Vista)

  Currently, so 99% of wins, and here to keep the TWO scores will when I go from Vista to Windows 7.

  Is it possible to transfer the scores as well as two games?

  I moved/copied two games on a secondary hard drive (the two files of game of the C; \program files\microsoft games\ freecell) (& spider solitaire) including hidden files.

  I'm just worried, scores can be kept elsewhere in another folder & I'll lose them... two .mui is copied to the new folder as well as the rest of the files (in the case of assistance)

  Someone tell me if the scores will transfer more once I have switch to Win7? Or do I have to look elsewhere?

  Thank you.

  You run Easy Transfer on the Vista installation, and then restore from Windows 7.

  Easy transfer should should be on the files that contain the stats but I don't know if they will be compatible. Since they resumed their XP to Vista, I do not see why they not well with Windows 7.

  Regarding Windows Mail, what I understand, it can be done, but it is not taken in charge and there may be unforeseen problems accordingly.
