[RTTY] QST article about Win XP

All,

FWIW,  FYI,

It isn't perfect, but Laplink makes an XP to Win7 or Win8 PCMover 
Tool that does 95% of the work for you to 'migrate' your 
APPs,  settings, moves licenses (if you had to license a program when 
installed), documents, etc.

They have a discounted price sale for folks moving from XP to 
Win7/8...... you can 'upgrade-in-place' or move to a 'different' 
PC.  Hook is one license per machine.....

I have used the Pro version (4 of them) to migrate 3 desktops and one 
laptop from XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro and most went well......  but 
never is it more true than with this tool...RTFM... carefully, note 
all steps and do them in the right order.....  luckily, I had DISC 
IMAGES of each XP machine before beginning the process.

Microsoft is offering a FREE "lite" version that migrates your XP 
machine data (BUT NOT YOUR APPs) here:
