Worldstart Computer Tips 8-18-2010 Oh The Horror! Microsoft Leaves XP & Vista Users Out In The Cold!
XP Users Can't Upgrade To Windows 7! Even Most Vista Users Can't Do A Direct Upgrade! Sure, You Can Use The "Upgrade" Disk But... You'll Kiss Your Programs Goodbye -
Yikes! - And Your Files Are "Relocated"! We Have A Solution - And It ROCKS! Upgrade To Win 7 - And KEEP Your Programs And Files! You'd Have To Be Crazier Than An Outhouse Rat To Miss This Deal! Well, this is disturbing... OK, you would LOVE to upgrade your XP computer (or Vista) to Windows 7 - After all, Win 7 is much more secure, easier to use, and is without question the best version of Windows ever. Heck, it's had record-breaking sales with 150 MILLION copies sold - that's seven copies a SECOND since its release!  Only one problem - if you're running Windows XP, you can't really upgrade to Windows 7. (And Vista users even have issues - see the site for a chart)Sure, you can buy an "upgrade" disk, but none of your files or programs will make it to Windows 7. It's a new install, not a true upgrade - you know, the kind where you keep everything. Kind of a "you can't get there from here" deal. OK, you technically get to keep your files - but that doesn't even work right! See, once you're upgraded, your files aren't where you'd expect them to be! You look under My Documents, but - hey - it's empty! Instead, the Win7 installer dumped them in a folder called "windows.old" in the root directory of your boot drive - yeah, good luck finding what you're looking for! Oh, and then it's up to you to restore them to where they belong. Then there's your software - Think all those program you rely on every day are going to survive the upgrade? HA! Sorry, they're toast. You'll have to reinstall each and every program - hope you still have all the CDs and download files (I know I don't). Just think - hours and hours of rifling through boxes and drawers hunting for CDs, searching for registration codes, downloading updates, negotiating with publishers that you really DID buy their product - yeah, sounds like a real blast... Should only take you a few weeks to get things back to normal. If you can. Oh, and forget any ideas of just copying the folders your software is in to the new operating system - that never works - too many support files are scattered around Windows. In fact, nine times out of ten the program won't even run. And the tenth program runs, but doesn't work right. Hmm... Maybe this upgrade thing wasn't such a hot idea after all... Laplink To The Rescue!
They have an amazing program called PCMover Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant and it's going to save your day (and your sanity)! This incredible software does what Microsoft refuses to - and it's made SPECIFICALLY for moving from XP or Vista to Windows 7! It allows you to upgrade to Windows 7... AND keep your FILES and SOFTWARE intact and where you'd expect to find them! How cool is that????? And it's SOOOOOOO easy! Let's say you purchased your copy of Windows 7 Upgrade and you're ready to take the plunge. It's a quick 3 step process:
1. Simply insert the Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant disk and follow a few steps on the easy to use wizard. 2. Next, pop your new Windows 7 CD in when prompted and install. 3. Once Windows 7 is ready to go, pop your Upgrade Assistant CD back in, and restore your software and files! It's that easy! We tested this, and let me tell ya - it just plain WORKS! It's so easy... After the first couple screens, it will ask you about the files you want to migrate - you just uncheck anything you don't want! If there's stuff you don't need anymore, just uncheck it. If it missed something (say, a file you keep in a weird folder someplace), you can manually add it!
Another screen or two brings you to software. You'll get a list of software you can migrate over - and what's really cool is that YOU get to pick and choose which programs follow you over to Windows 7! So, if there's a few you never use anymore, just leave 'em unchecked! It's like a clean-up and move all at once!
From there, it backs up your files and data, you install Windows 7, then reinsert your PCMover Upgrade Assistant CD and restore ALL your stuff! Files will be where you expect to find them and your software will survive the trip too - all ready for your next command! You'll be rockin' Windows 7 - and have all your stuff too! Instead of days or even weeks, you'll be good to go in an hour or so! Oh, and I'm not the only one who thinks this is fantastic. Look at the rave reviews!
