With respect, I would not recommend PCmover. It seems like a good solution for upgrading but we have experimented with it in our shop with some, shall we say, unpredictable results. Results that would certainly stump the average user.

If you do try it, backup your data first.

I recommend a clean install of Windows 7 for best results. I say that after thousands of hours spent installing and configuring operating systems.

Once you have your system configured the way you like, then use a disk imaging software to take a ‘snapshot’ of your drive for easy system recovery later.

Windows 7 will be around for a while and the malware situation is worsening so your recovery disk will come in handy going forward.

Are you sure you’re meaning Application Mover (fundac software)? I’ve used it and had problems with it.

But, I’ve not had any issues with PC Mover by laplink.

As with anything, YMMV.

I have a machne that came with VISTA installed- it sucked so bad I spent 2 weeks finding drivers to make XP work on it. It runs about two or three times faster.

Any idea how Win7 runs on a machine like this?

Ok, I see what you're talking about now. I mistakenly referred to it asPC Mover, when I should have called it Upgrade Assistant" Which mean I screwed up the thread! ;( Geez, I went to the closet and pulled it out and out came the blue connector cable. Instantly I understood the mistake I had made. Sorry.
