Upgrade laptop HDD and OS
Hello all,
I'm looking for what would be the most appropriate way and product to do following
a) upgrade the laptop hdd from 100 to 320. But the laptop hdd has a EISA partition which I would like to be migrated too to the 320Go target HDD
b) upgrade from Vista U 32 to Win7 U 64.
Can ATI 2010 be reliably used for step a ?
Can the migration assitant be used for step b ?
Best regards

There's an upgrade version of W7 that can be used on Vista although you might have probs with some progs. With an OS, it's best to start with an empty disk, install the OS then install your progs. Ime, it's actually faster to do things from scratch (which also means starting with brand new Registry) than to deal with all the upgrade issues.
ATI can be used to restore your data (as opposed to program or system files) documents, pics, mp3s, etc. once you have your new disk set up with W7 and the programs. For this you would select specific directories/files to be restored.

Hello all,
Yes, the way suggested by Scott is correct too.
Sometimes it's better to install the OS from scratch just to make your registry clear from third part products, it will increase system performance. Also, right after the installation I would recommend you to create the complete system image using our product, so you will be able to recover this clear system anytime when necessary.
Anyway, please feel free to ask me or any moderator for assistance, we would be glad to help you.
