TI Home 2010 & Windows 7
I currently have Vista SP2.
When I install Win 7 (will most likely do a reformat of the drive and then a clean install) will there be a way to easily and more quickly transfer/copy Apps from a TI Home back up to Win 7?
Or should I do a (re) install of all my Apps and programs (like Office 2007, Eset security, Firefox, wireless adapter software- for connection to my home network, etc) ?
thx

Thanks- thought as much (using the partial back up of folders versus an actual image)
Follow up though -
your comment on "perform a semi clean install of W7" are you referring to the Upgrade install? As I understand that that will create a Vista.old folder.
What do you mean by " and then use USMT from Microsoft to transfer all registry details to W7."
In other words, what is a USMT?

Ahh, thats why I have not heard of the USMT, I am not a IT person.
Oh and regarding "semi clean install" that is the same as "Upgrade"?

To my way of thinking no! :) An upgrade is over the top of your existing OS and a semi-clean (new term I'm copyrighting here and now) is one where W7 actually performs a clean install, in the same partition as XP/Vista, but backs the OS partition to a special folder.
A clean install wipes everything and starts from new.
Probably me being pedantic, but there you are. :)
