> Before you Take the Windows 7 Plunge ...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Know this:
1. If you're moving from Windows XP to Windows 7, you will need to do a
"Fresh Install" of Windows. This means that ALL your programs will need to
be reinstalled and re-setup AGAIN. If each program is configured a certain
way (example: contacts from your address book via your email program),
you will most definitely want to re-inject this data back into Windows 7
rather than re-enter it manually.
2. Using Acronis True Image 2010 can help you re-inject this data by
allowing you to search for and extract specific configuration files (example:
bookmarks, email contacts, etc) from your backup. This will SIGNIFICANTLY
reduce the time it takes to migrate from XP to Windows 7.
3. Unless you're 110% sure where all your user configuration files are
stored (in random places) on your C Drive, you *really* should backup your
entire C drive before before Windows 7 is installed. Acronis True Image
is by far the best tool to use to do this.
