Recover data from Windows XP professional to Windows 7
I have Windows XP Professional on my computer. I want to upgrade to Windows 7.
To do so I must unintall Windows XP and then install Windows 7. How should I save the programs and data before I uninstall XP so that once I install Windows 7 I can bring back all my data and programs

There is some software by Laplink, that is one time use, that advertises it can migrate systems to W7 or W8. I have not tried it, as I prefer to start from scratch when changing OSs.
There is a further problem in that some software may well require different components to be installed in order to work properly with W7 or W8 including where they live in registry. So although it may with difficulty be possible to migrate, the software may still not work until reinstalled. Of course data files and databases can be imported into a new OS with no problems, but it is always best to reinstall the software that 'owns' them.
