How can I move my computer from Windows Vista to Windows 7? Custom or upgrade?
Hi, I have a Dell XPS M1530 with Windows Vista 32 bit, I bouht a Windows 7 Family pack upgrade, my computer has this partition of the hard drive C: 220 GB and RECOVERY D: 10 GB.
I want to know that if I do the install as upgrade, it will keep the same partition of hard drive?
If that's enough, this partition of Windows 7, or should I do a large partition?
If I copy the D: RECOVERY files, do a factory image restore in the future?
I have some other doubts that I ask after this ones.
Thanks for your help.
Hi Walter,
Dell has not yet, I bought the W7 dell family pack,
Let me tell you what I did, I opened the D: RECOVERY and copy all the content in an external hard drive just in case where I don't know (I don't know how to do the recovery disc).
I copy all my files on the same portable hard drive, and then I make an original image to restore.
I update W Vista until Service Pack 2 and now I try to install the Windows 7 upgrade, but I don't know how to do and if I do which is how I had to do.
I have the reistalation W Vista 32 bit of dell DVD.
Let me ask you something when you said: ' make an upgrade should keep the same data programs and settings, etc ", do you mean that when I do the upgrade of the partition of the factory will be the same after the upgrade?
copy the files from an external hard drive recovery and create a disc from there will not allow you to use them to reinstall vista
Ask how to do recovery dell discs
read my 1 answer
and make the windows 7 upgrade was referring to the installation of windows 7 as an upgrade to vista on partition of 220gbs
for any other installatiion windows 7 questions to ask in the Sub forum to install windows 7
"Download Windows 7 installed and activated on your PC."

good luck with it

I just migrated my PC Windows XP "Outlook Express" to "Live Mail" and the migration went really well - the progress of conversion migrated without any human intervention my thousands and thousands of emails, my many Email of OE, my address book files.
I have however a problem and are not top-of-now a solution for this.
With Outlook Express, files of Windows XP with my emails were on another Partition of Disk Partition c. It is important for me, for all the 'application data' (for example, all emails) stored in another partition of the disc the C partition. Because if trouble with newly installed software (for example a beta Version of the software), I can use a backup of my C Partition and restore it without losing the data of the application (for example without losing everything new emails).
Question 1: With "Live Mail", can I keep my emails to another folder of Windows XP as the standard C:\Document and Settings\... file? If Yes: How can I do this?
Question 2: Is this whole "C:\Document and Settings\nom of utilisateur\Local settings\application data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail" folder that I can move to another location?
Where can I get information on these topics?
Thank you for an answer.
My apologies. I was finally able to find a description on how to move the folder containg XP on the Web e-mail "Live Mail".
In the event a reader is interested in the solution, I included the link to the Web page containing the answer:

I would like to have at least one of my toolbars that are displayed at the BOTTOM of my browser open screen. How can I move a toolbar from the top to the bottom of the page? I don't want to do this by using an extension, and when I read about the extension, I really have not seen how it would move the toolbar to the top-down any browser page open.
Thanks in advance for the supply, the answer and the procedure to get this accomplished.You can't drag an entire toolbar to the bottom of the window. The Bar of the Addon is a "toolbar", drag whatever you want from the Palette to customize or a toolbar up to the bar of the Addon.
