Hi All As part of our Windows 7 promotion I am offering forum users the chance to migrate an old XP computer to a new Windows 7 computer WITHOUT: Data Loss Having to reinstall XP applications Your data including ALL documents, programs and settings are simply transfered from your old XP machine to your new Windows 7 machine. And in no time, you will have a fully functional XP machine, within your Windows 7 machine. Interested then please reply or PM me. Regards
So whats so great about it? Microsoft has launched such a software, I saw it on their site days back. Available free for download.
Yes MS provides XP Mode but there are some requirements and conditions such as: XP Mode requires Hardware Assisted Virtualisation (HAV) - ours does not Only available in Pro, Ultimate and Enterprise - ours available in all versions You have to reinstall ALL your XP applications - ours is automatic You have to fully reconfigure your XP VM - our is automatic You have to reconfigure networking - our is automatic XP Mode is limited in HDD size - ours supports drives greater then 128 GB Plus other benefits Regards
How long it take? I on dialup 56kbps. I have the original windows 7 ultimate retail version with key. How much you charge?
Hi There As you have the ultimate version you could take a look at XP Mode. However if that doesn't suit you then I could do it over the internet for you. Which migratation scenario are you interested in? Moving XP from an old machine to a new Windows 7 machine or Upgrading a single machine from XP to Windows 7 Regards
Whoa, this is pretty awesome! I'm getting a Win7 laptop for Christmas, and would be very interested in your service (the "Moving XP from an old machine to a new Windows 7 machine" one). How can I contact you?
i realy don't get get acronis back up, make a image of your xp machine, install vm ware on win 7 load the the image there , works for me!! how is yours different!!
Hi There I see your point and that is a good idea but what is the software cost for your method? Does Acronis True Image Image Home do this? And does the free VM Player support this? Regards
Hi There Would be excellent if the FREE versions of Acronis from Seagate / Maxtor / WD supported converting backup images to VHD but sadly they don't. Regards
VHD is no good at all - it doesn't support HDDs larger than 128GB (I'm talking total space, not used space). And are you going to give VMWare Player to end-users? They'll never be able to work that thing, too complicated! VMWare itself markets their product to power users / techies... Unless you have some magic user-friendly VM that no one knows about
Hi There If you would read my OP carefully you will realise that I'm NOT offering VHD's or VMWare. The previous poster said that he used VHD's and I agreed it was a good idea but it does have limitations and requires a certain degree of skill. Regards
