Instructions for using Windows Easy Transfer from Vista computer to a new Windows 7 computer.
I bought a new computer today that works under Windows 7. The old computer is running Windows Vista 32 bi my new computer is a 64-bit Windows 7 computer. So dumb I didn't find instructions for using Windows Easy Transfer to transfer my files from the old computer to the new. I already have a USB data transfer cable and the disk that came with it does not work with Win 7 However with Windows Easy Transfer that wouldn't do not necessary anyway. So my need for Instructions bo accomplich the task.
I gathered al records original program that I need to install the necessary programs on the new computer.
Any help or URL available covering my needs transfer will be much appreciated.
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.

If you have any general questions about reinstalling Windows , please see this site:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-WindowsInstallation - 'upgrade' means what?
Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:Back up any files and settings you want to keep
Install Windows 7
Reinstall all your files
Reinstall all the programs you want to use.
These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.
