Migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7 According to Microsoft’s Technet Website, “there is no Upgrade option available when installing Windows 7 on a computer running Windows XP. The task involves using Windows Easy Transfer to migrate files and settings from Windows XP to Windows 7 on the same computer. To do this you must first copy files to a removable media, such as an external hard drive or UFD, or to a network share. Then, you will install a fresh copy of Windows 7 on your existing hardware and then migrate your files back from the removable media or network location, onto your computer. When you are finished, you must install your software programs again, but your files and settings will have been copied from Windows XP¹”. Since this can end up being a multi-step process involving many trips to the desktop, Scalable Software can offer you an alternative solution to performing your upgrades with a zero-touch process in mind. This Webinar will show you how by combining both Scalable Software’s Survey product and WinINSTALL Desktop Availability Suite; you will be able to determine first, what machines meet the minimum requirements for Windows 7 and then be able to target those machines for your Windows 7 Migration using WinINSTALL’s zero-touch process |
