Windows 7 Upgrade

Thread needs solution

I want to upgrade my OS from Windows XP to Windows 7, using True Image 10 if possible. If I back up everything on the hard drive other than the Windows folder, install Windows 7 then restore the backup file will this work? Or can anyone suggest another method?

You will not be able to restore all of your installed applications this way. They will have to re-installed. You can do a file backup of all your data files and then restore those. I set up XP and Windows 7 in a dual boot configuration first http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/window-on-windows/?p=1728&tag=nl.e064 and then used Laplink's PCMover to migrate all of my apps. Depending on how much you actually have installed it may be faster to re-install. You will need all of your License keys for the re-install of the applications.
