IntroductionWelcome| 00:00 | (Music playing.)
| | 00:03 | Hi! I am David Rivers, and welcome to
Migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7.
| | 00:09 | Windows 7 is the largest operating
system software update from Microsoft
| | 00:13 | since Windows Vista.
| | 00:14 | So in this course, I'll show you
everything you need to know to migrate smoothly
| | 00:18 | and efficiently from Windows XP to Windows 7.
| | 00:21 | I'll begin by showing you how to
prepare for the migration in Windows XP,
| | 00:25 | like checking to see if your computer is
ready for Windows 7 with the Upgrade Advisor.
| | 00:30 | We'll look at backing up your
important files and installing Windows Easy
| | 00:34 | Transfer and using it to simplify the
migration of your files and your settings.
| | 00:39 | Then we'll walk through the Windows 7
Installation steps, exploring various
| | 00:43 | installation options such as
installing on a new partition or replacing XP
| | 00:48 | altogether with Windows 7.
| | 00:49 | Once Windows 7 is installed,
we'll explore using Disk Cleanup to
| | 00:54 | remove temporary files.
| | 00:56 | We'll explore options for connecting
your peripheral devices and drivers.
| | 01:00 | So if you are ready to migrate from
Windows XP to Windows 7, let's get started.

| System requirements| 00:00 | Before you attempt to install Windows 7
on your computer, you want to make sure
| | 00:05 | your computer can handle it.
| | 00:06 | There are certain system requirements for
installing Windows 7, so let's explore them now.
| | 00:12 | We're also going to be checking out a
cool utility for making sure your PC
| | 00:16 | is Windows 7 ready.
| | 00:18 | But first let's take a glance at the
minimum requirements for your PC to run Windows 7.
| | 00:22 | We'll start with the processor.
| | 00:25 | Whether it's a 32-bit processor, or a 64-bit
processor, it needs to be 1 gigahertz or faster.
| | 00:33 | Now, when it comes time to install
Windows 7, you want to install the right
| | 00:38 | version for your processor.
| | 00:40 | So knowing whether your processor is
32-bit or 64-bit is very important.
| | 00:46 | Here is how you can find out.
| | 00:48 | First, you'll click the Start
button and then choose Run.
| | 00:53 | Next, you'll type in winmsd.exe.
| | 00:57 | Once you've got that typed in, click
the OK button and System Information will
| | 01:02 | appear on your screen and with System
Summary selected, you'll see all of the
| | 01:06 | details on the right-hand side.
| | 01:09 | Next to Processor, you're
going to see some numbers.
| | 01:13 | Now, if you happen to see x86, like I
have here, you'll know that your processor
| | 01:18 | is a 32-bit processor.
| | 01:21 | If you see something different like x64
for example, or even amd64, then you'll
| | 01:28 | know, you are using a 64-bit
processor and you will be able to install the
| | 01:31 | current version of Windows 7.
| | 01:34 | When you are done viewing your System
Information, just click the Close button
| | 01:37 | in the top right-hand corner.
| | 01:39 | Now let's get back to our system
requirements and we'll talk about
| | 01:43 | Random Access Memory or RAM.
| | 01:46 | You'll need at least a gigabyte for
your 32-bit machine or at least 2 gigabytes
| | 01:51 | for your 64-bit machine.
| | 01:53 | Now remember, these are minimums, so
having more can really improve your performance.
| | 01:58 | When it comes to your hard-drive,
you'll need 16 gigabytes available on your
| | 02:03 | 32-bit machine, and if you have got a 64
-bit processor, you're going to need at
| | 02:07 | least 20 gigabytes of free space.
| | 02:10 | This is just for the operating system itself.
| | 02:12 | You are going to need additional
space for other programs and the work you
| | 02:16 | create with those programs.
| | 02:18 | So keep that in mind.
| | 02:19 | When it comes to your graphics device,
it needs to be a DirectX 9 graphics
| | 02:23 | device with WDDM 1.0 or higher for a driver.
| | 02:28 | Without this, you are not going to see
any of the cool graphics in Windows 7.
| | 02:32 | In fact, you probably
won't see much of anything.
| | 02:34 | So knowing these requirements is one
thing, but how can you know for sure
| | 02:39 | that your computer meets these requirements
and is actually compatible with Windows 7?
| | 02:44 | Well, one option is to check your
System Properties from the Control Panel.
| | 02:49 | To do that, click the Start
button and choose Control Panel.
| | 02:54 | Now from here, we're going to go
to our System icon and double-click.
| | 03:01 | Right away with the General tab selected,
you're going to see certain information.
| | 03:05 | For example, under Computer, you'll
see exactly how fast your processor is,
| | 03:10 | you'll see how much RAM you've got.
| | 03:13 | What you are not going to see are
things like how much hard-drive space you
| | 03:17 | have left for example.
| | 03:18 | There is also other information that
could come in handy, for example,
| | 03:23 | your graphics capabilities.
| | 03:24 | We don't see that here either.
| | 03:26 | Now we could dig deeper into the
Hardware tab up at the top here if we wanted to.
| | 03:31 | But just so you know, there is this
great new utility that will help you
| | 03:35 | learn whether or not your machine is
compatible with Windows 7 before you
| | 03:40 | actually install it.
| | 03:41 | It's called the Upgrade Advisor.
| | 03:44 | So what we're going to do is just
cancel what we are looking at and we'll
| | 03:48 | close up our window here for Control Panel,
and we're going to install the Upgrade Advisor.
| | 03:54 | So let's launch Internet Explorer.
| | 03:58 | Next, we're going to go to the
Microsoft site, and under Download, you're going
| | 04:02 | to find the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
| | 04:05 | Remember it's the Upgrade Advisor for Windows 7.
| | 04:07 | What we want to know is will our
machine handle Windows 7, so it's important to
| | 04:12 | choose the right Upgrade Advisor.
| | 04:14 | From here, you can click Download.
| | 04:17 | Then choose Run, and it doesn't take
very long, depending on your Internet
| | 04:22 | connection, to get the Upgrade Advisor
downloaded and ready to be installed.
| | 04:27 | Click Run again to do that.
| | 04:29 | You'll need to accept the
license terms and click Install.
| | 04:34 | Now, this is not a huge program.
| | 04:36 | It's just a utility.
| | 04:38 | So it doesn't take very long for it to
complete the installation and with the
| | 04:42 | check box next to Launch Windows 7
Upgrade Advisor selected, you can click
| | 04:47 | Close, and the Upgrade
Advisor will launch automatically.
| | 04:52 | Now, depending on your system and the
components, the check could take several minutes.
| | 04:58 | In the bottom right-hand corner of
this initial screen, you'll see the
| | 05:01 | Start check button.
| | 05:02 | So give that a click and it will start
checking your compatibility going through
| | 05:07 | each of the components, the hard-drive,
the processor, your memory, and it will
| | 05:12 | report to you nicely, exactly how
compatible your machine is with Windows 7.
| | 05:17 | It's also going to give you some nice
instructions on what you need to do if
| | 05:21 | it's not ready for Windows 7.
| | 05:23 | So let's let that take
its course, and here we go.
| | 05:28 | You'll notice when the Upgrade Advisor
is finished, you'll see the number of
| | 05:31 | issues totaled for you at the very top.
| | 05:34 | There are two tabs, a 32-bit
report and a 64-bit report.
| | 05:39 | Now, in my case, I have got a 32-bit processor.
| | 05:42 | That tab is selected by default, and
down below I will see the actual issues.
| | 05:47 | First of all, because I am running
Windows XP, and this goes for anyone running
| | 05:51 | Windows XP, a custom installation is required.
| | 05:55 | In other words, there is no
direct upgrade to Windows 7.
| | 05:59 | So we need to perform a custom
installation, which means backing up our files
| | 06:03 | and reinstalling our programs when we are done.
| | 06:06 | That information shows up
over here under Details.
| | 06:09 | Also, you'll notice a little
sign for Windows Aero Support.
| | 06:13 | My current graphics adapter won't
support the Windows Aero user interface.
| | 06:17 | So if I wanted to experience that, I
probably want to upgrade my graphics adapter.
| | 06:22 | Yours may be fine or it may not be.
| | 06:25 | As I scroll down, I will see some
other issues. Outlook Express, no longer
| | 06:30 | included in Windows 7.
| | 06:32 | So I can get similar programs for our
Windows 7 by going to some other software
| | 06:37 | manufacturers or to the Microsoft website.
| | 06:40 | Notice some check marks down below as well.
| | 06:42 | If you want to see all the system
requirements that were met, you can click that link.
| | 06:47 | Now, I need to scroll back down to
see that my CPU speed is adequate.
| | 06:52 | The amount of RAM or Random Access
Memory available is adequate, and the amount
| | 06:57 | of hard-disk space also meets the requirements.
| | 07:00 | As I scroll little further down, I see
some additional information about Windows
| | 07:05 | XP Mode, an optional feature in
Windows 7 under the Professional and Ultimate
| | 07:10 | editions will require advanced technology.
| | 07:12 | So if I am interested in Windows XP
Mode, I can see if my PC supports it
| | 07:17 | by clicking this link.
| | 07:18 | Now another option is to save this
report so you can access it at any time.
| | 07:24 | You have got a Save Report link as well as
a Print link in the top right-hand corner.
| | 07:28 | So you could print it out or choose to save it.
| | 07:31 | Now remember, when you save it, you'll
be saving it to your system and this is
| | 07:36 | the system that's going to be wiped
out when you reinstall Windows 7.
| | 07:41 | So printing is a good option
if you want to have a hard copy.
| | 07:44 | I am going to click Save Report,
and just save it in My Documents.
| | 07:47 | I am just going to call it Upgrade Advice.
| | 07:52 | You can call it whatever
you like and click Save.
| | 07:55 | When you are done viewing the Upgrade
Advisor data, click the Close button in
| | 07:59 | the bottom right-hand corner, and
you can close up Internet Explorer.
| | 08:05 | So now you know whether your PC is
ready for Windows 7 or if you're going to
| | 08:10 | need to make any upgrades to it first.
| | 08:12 | If all looks good according to
Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, you're ready to
| | 08:16 | begin the installation.

| Determining the best migration option for you| 00:00 | Let's just begin by saying that the
easiest way to upgrade and migrate
| | 00:05 | from Windows XP to Windows 7 is to buy a
new computer with Windows 7 already installed.
| | 00:10 | Then it's just a matter of reinstalling
your programs and moving your files and
| | 00:14 | settings over from your old computer.
| | 00:16 | It's easy, but it can be expensive.
| | 00:19 | So for most people, buying
another computer is not an option.
| | 00:23 | Installing Windows 7 over an existing
Windows XP installation is a more likely scenario.
| | 00:29 | Let's explore some different
scenarios from migrating to Windows 7.
| | 00:34 | Now, if you do plan to buy a new
computer and Windows 7 is already installed,
| | 00:39 | half the battle has already been completed.
| | 00:41 | You'll have Windows 7 up and running,
but you likely won't have all the
| | 00:45 | programs you are used to using on
your new PC and you definitely won't have
| | 00:49 | all your files and settings.
| | 00:51 | But that's easily solved.
| | 00:53 | First, you'll need to dig up your old
program CDs and install them on your new PC.
| | 00:58 | I said it was easy. I didn't
say it wouldn't be time-consuming.
| | 01:03 | Now, remember to have your product
serial numbers handy during the installations.
| | 01:08 | Next, you'll need to get your files
and even your settings from your old PC
| | 01:11 | over to your new one.
| | 01:13 | Think about all your documents, photos,
music, and video files, and consider all
| | 01:17 | the time you invested in setting
things up just right like User Accounts,
| | 01:22 | Display Settings, Internet
Explorer Favorites, and more.
| | 01:25 | Well, transferring all this might
sound difficult and tedious, but thanks to
| | 01:30 | Windows Easy Transfer,
| | 01:32 | you can move all your files and even
though settings over to your new PC in
| | 01:36 | just a few easy steps.
| | 01:38 | All right, another popular scenario
will be to install Windows 7 on an existing
| | 01:44 | PC that has Windows XP.
| | 01:47 | If you want to try out Windows 7
without losing XP, you can create a
| | 01:51 | partition on your existing hard-drive
first, and then install Windows 7 on
| | 01:56 | that new partition.
| | 01:58 | You still need to install your programs,
and move your files and settings over
| | 02:02 | to be able to use them in Windows 7,
but again Windows Easy Transfer can
| | 02:06 | simplify this process.
| | 02:08 | Now scenario three might be
the most popular scenario of all.
| | 02:13 | This involves installing Windows 7
on an existing PC over top of XP.
| | 02:18 | Thus wiping it out and
replacing it with Windows 7.
| | 02:21 | Now, in this scenario, you'll need to
run Windows Easy Transfer in XP first.
| | 02:27 | That will store your files and
settings in a separate location, and you'll do
| | 02:31 | that before installing Windows 7.
| | 02:33 | Then you'll need to install your
programs and run Windows Easy Transfer in
| | 02:37 | Windows 7 to get your previously stored
files and settings move back over into
| | 02:43 | your new Windows 7 environment.
| | 02:45 | So these are three possible scenarios
for migrating to Windows 7 from Windows XP.
| | 02:50 | You'll need to decide which is best for you
before moving forward with your migration.

1. Pre-Installation Tasks on Your XP MachineBacking up your files| 00:00 | Before performing a major operation like
installing an operating system, such as
| | 00:05 | Windows 7, you might consider
performing a system backup before you begin.
| | 00:10 | This is just in case of an emergency
and you need to revert back to Windows XP
| | 00:14 | and the files and settings
that you started out with.
| | 00:18 | To do that, we can use the
Windows XP Backup Utility.
| | 00:21 | Click the Start button, then All
Programs > Accessories > System Tools.
| | 00:29 | Now with you typical Windows XP installation,
you'll see the Backup Utility on this list.
| | 00:34 | But if you're like me and you've got
the Windows XP Home Edition, you won't
| | 00:38 | see it here, because it's not installed
automatically for you. You need to do it separately.
| | 00:43 | So we'll click the Desktop to close up
our menus, and we'll pop in the Windows
| | 00:48 | XP Home Edition Installation CD.
| | 00:52 | Now automatically, it's going to display
a Welcome Screen and from there,
| | 00:56 | we'll navigate to the Backup Utility.
| | 00:59 | So from the main Welcome Screen,
we'll click Perform additional tasks.
| | 01:04 | Then we'll click the arrow next to
Browse this CD, which opens up another
| | 01:09 | window, allowing us to navigate
the various folders on the CD.
| | 01:13 | Double-click the VALUEADD folder to open it up.
| | 01:17 | Then double-click the MSFT folder.
| | 01:21 | In there, you'll find
another folder named NTBACKUP.
| | 01:24 | Double-click this folder to find the
program that actually installs the Backup Utility.
| | 01:29 | It's called NTBACKUP.
| | 01:31 | Just double-click that.
| | 01:33 | It only takes a short moment for
the Backup Utility to be installed.
| | 01:37 | Once completed, click the Finish button
and then you can close this window and
| | 01:41 | you can even close the Welcome
Screen from you installation CD.
| | 01:45 | Now when you go down to Start > All Programs
> Accessories > System Tools, you'll find
| | 01:53 | the Backup Utility is there.
| | 01:56 | So when select Backup, a wizard launches,
and it's going to prompt just to the
| | 02:01 | various steps of backing up our system files.
| | 02:05 | So the first step is to click Next.
| | 02:08 | Now we need to decide what we're doing:
| | 02:10 | are we backing up files and
settings or restoring them?
| | 02:13 | Once we perform a backup, if we need to
restore them, this is exactly what we do.
| | 02:18 | Only we choose Restore files and settings.
| | 02:20 | But with Back up files and
settings selected, click Next.
| | 02:25 | Now we get to choose exactly
what we're going to back up.
| | 02:28 | Now if you only want to back up your
own documents and your own settings, which
| | 02:33 | will include things like your favorites,
your Desktop icons, even cookies, then
| | 02:39 | leave the default radio button
selected next to My documents and settings.
| | 02:43 | If you've got multiple users logging
into this computer and each one has their
| | 02:47 | own account, you might want to
select Everyone's documents and settings.
| | 02:52 | That way, all of the documents and
files that belong to each user account will
| | 02:56 | be backed up and that will include
subfolders, Favorites, Desktops and cookies.
| | 03:02 | If want to do a full system backup,
that means back up everything on the hard drive,
| | 03:06 | you can choose All
information on this computer.
| | 03:09 | That will include all of your programs.
| | 03:11 | That will include all of your
files, all of your settings.
| | 03:14 | This is where you would restore back to
Windows XP in the case of a major failure.
| | 03:19 | Selecting this option though is
going to take up a lot of space.
| | 03:23 | Everything that's
installed is going to be backed up.
| | 03:26 | You may also want to select your own
options with Let me choose what to back up.
| | 03:31 | Clicking Next will allow you to go
through the various folders, but you might
| | 03:35 | miss things, because programs store
files for you in various locations.
| | 03:39 | That's why I like this one here,
Everyone's documents and settings.
| | 03:43 | That way I know I'm going to get all of the
documents and subfolders under My Documents.
| | 03:47 | I'm going to get all of my Favorites
that I stored in my Internet Explorer.
| | 03:51 | I'm going to get all of those little
cookies and so on. Even my contact list and
| | 03:55 | email messages will be saved
or backed up, in this case.
| | 03:59 | So I'm going to leave that
one selected and click Next.
| | 04:02 | You can make your own selection.
| | 04:04 | Click Next when you're done.
| | 04:05 | Now it's time to choose
where you're backing up to.
| | 04:08 | A single file is going to be created.
| | 04:10 | That's the file you would restore with.
| | 04:12 | But here we first need to choose
where we're going to back up this file to.
| | 04:18 | You'll notice I've got a USB drive, a
removable disk, plugged into my USB port.
| | 04:23 | It's labeled G for me.
| | 04:24 | You may see different options
here when you click the drop-down.
| | 04:28 | I've only got that one option.
| | 04:31 | If you want to go to a Network Drive,
you could click the Browse button.
| | 04:35 | From here, click My Computer.
| | 04:37 | You might have a different hard disk.
| | 04:40 | You might want to select Network
Share if it's available on this list.
| | 04:44 | What you can't do is back
up to a CD or DVD directly.
| | 04:50 | So you'll have to choose a location.
| | 04:51 | It's going to create the backup file,
and if you want it on a DVD or a CD, then
| | 04:56 | you can copy it later doing that manually.
| | 04:58 | So I'm going to leave it as my
Removable Disk. It's big enough.
| | 05:02 | It's 4 gigabytes in size to take my backup file.
| | 05:06 | You can choose whatever you like.
| | 05:07 | I'm going to click Cancel here and
keep Removable Disk (G) selected.
| | 05:12 | Now you get to type in a name.
| | 05:13 | It might just show up as Backup.
I've added XP to the end here, so I know that
| | 05:18 | this is my XP backup.
| | 05:20 | Now I might need to move on to the
next step, which is actually the very last
| | 05:23 | step to confirm my selections.
| | 05:27 | If I want, click Finish.
| | 05:29 | Now just before I click Finish,
you notice there is an Advanced button.
| | 05:32 | For a single backup like we're doing,
we'd simply click the Finish button.
| | 05:35 | But if we want to go in and start scheduling
regular backups, here's where we go to do it.
| | 05:40 | But that doesn't apply to us.
| | 05:42 | So let's click Finish.
| | 05:44 | Now it's just going to be a matter of
time before our backup file is created.
| | 05:48 | That all depends on the number of files
and the number of folders, subfolders,
| | 05:53 | user accounts and so on.
| | 05:55 | You can see my estimated time remaining is
not very long actually. 4 minutes or so.
| | 06:00 | So I'll sit here and wait for that to happen.
| | 06:03 | Once it's completed, I'll see the
Close button appear up here in the
| | 06:06 | top right-hand corner.
| | 06:08 | I'll have my backup file stored to whatever
location I selected. In this case, a USB Drive.
| | 06:13 | I'd pull that out, store it in a
safe location before I begin my Windows
| | 06:18 | installation process.
| | 06:20 | So, once your backup is completed,
you can close up this window and you're
| | 06:24 | ready to start installing Windows 7.

| Using Easy Transfer to store the files and settings you want to transfer| 00:00 | The biggest challenge, by far, in
migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7
| | 00:05 | might be getting all of your files
and saved settings from XP to your new
| | 00:09 | Windows 7 environment.
| | 00:11 | This includes files you've created,
email messages, even Favorites you might
| | 00:16 | have stored away in Internet Explorer.
| | 00:18 | Now the reason it's such a big hassle
is because a clean install is necessary
| | 00:24 | when migrating from XP to Windows 7.
| | 00:27 | That means you're going to wipe
clean the location you're installing to,
| | 00:31 | erasing all your files, your installed
programs and saved settings along the way.
| | 00:36 | Well, that's where
Windows Easy Transfer comes in.
| | 00:38 | This little utility will gather all of
your files and settings into a single file.
| | 00:43 | That can later be moved to your
newly installed Windows 7 environment.
| | 00:47 | It's a huge time-saver.
| | 00:48 | So let's check it out now.
| | 00:50 | You can see I've actually loaded up
Internet Explorer here and I've navigated to
| | 00:54 | the Download section of Microsoft.com,
and that's where you're going to find
| | 00:59 | Windows Easy Transfer.
| | 01:00 | One way to get an easy transfer for
XP is to go online and download it.
| | 01:06 | So from this page,
I'd click the Download button.
| | 01:08 | But you can also find it on
your Windows 7 Installation disc.
| | 01:12 | So I'm going to close up Internet Explorer.
| | 01:15 | When you pop the Installation CD into
the drive, you can see what happens here.
| | 01:19 | It automatically plays most often.
| | 01:22 | So it wants to begin the installation,
but we're not ready to do that quite yet.
| | 01:26 | We need to get Easy Transfer loaded
onto our computer, so we can gather all of
| | 01:31 | our files and settings and bring them
back later in the Windows 7 environment.
| | 01:34 | So we'll close up the Installation window,
and we'll navigate to the folder on our CD.
| | 01:40 | That means clicking your Start button,
then My Computer, double-clicking the CD
| | 01:46 | will probably
automatically play the Install again.
| | 01:49 | So instead of double-clicking, find the
drive that contains the Installation disc.
| | 01:55 | Right-click and you'll notice
AutoPlay probably shows up at the top.
| | 01:58 | That's the default.
| | 01:59 | What we want to do is open it,
so we'll select Open.
| | 02:03 | Next, double-click the support folder, and
in there you'll see a folder called migwiz.
| | 02:08 | Double-click that and you'll find a
file that's an executable called migsetup.
| | 02:14 | This is your Windows Easy Transfer setup file.
| | 02:17 | So double-clicking it is what's going
to get the installation process underway
| | 02:21 | for installing Windows Easy Transfer for XP.
| | 02:25 | So go ahead and do that.
| | 02:27 | You can see it's starting the
Windows Easy Transfer setup program.
| | 02:32 | We'll let it take its course.
| | 02:35 | The initial screen gives you a little
bit of the information about how we use
| | 02:39 | Windows Easy Transfer.
| | 02:40 | You can see all other things that can
be transferred, User accounts, if you've
| | 02:43 | got more than one on your computer,
there is Documents, including music,
| | 02:47 | pictures and videos,
Internet favorites, email and more.
| | 02:51 | So all we have to do is click
Next to move to the next step.
| | 02:53 | Now we've got to choose what we're
going to use to get our files transferred.
| | 02:58 | Now, it's not important at this stage.
Really, all we want to do is get the file created.
| | 03:03 | So, I'm going to choose an
external hard disk or USB Flash drive.
| | 03:08 | If you're connected to a network,
you could use a network location.
| | 03:11 | We'll talk about the Easy Transfer
cable in an upcoming lesson that allows you
| | 03:15 | to go directly from one computer to another.
| | 03:18 | But most people are going to be installing
right over their current XP installation.
| | 03:23 | So let's go down to an
external hard disk or USB Flash Drive.
| | 03:26 | If you've got one plugged into your
computer, you'll be able to access it.
| | 03:30 | You could go ahead and do that now.
| | 03:31 | If you want to follow along with me.
| | 03:32 | But choose a location that
best fits your situation.
| | 03:36 | Now, you've got some choices.
| | 03:39 | The only choice really is
that this is the old computer.
| | 03:42 | It's not the new computer.
| | 03:43 | Once we've installed Windows 7,
that will be the new computer.
| | 03:47 | Even if it's the same
computer, it's the new environment.
| | 03:50 | So for now, we have to choose this is
my old computer. I want to transfer files
| | 03:54 | and settings from this computer.
| | 03:57 | You can see I've got my user name
or user account showing up here.
| | 04:02 | Down below I've also got
something called Shared Items.
| | 04:05 | They're both checked off here.
| | 04:07 | Not only that, you're going to see some
additional information, such as the size.
| | 04:11 | You can see how much has been
selected here for my user account, and how
| | 04:15 | much under Shared Items.
| | 04:16 | That's a huge amount, probably
not going to fit on my USB Drive.
| | 04:20 | But luckily, we've got a
Customize link under each of these.
| | 04:25 | So if I go to Customize here under my
user account, you can see things like the
| | 04:30 | Desktop, my Favorites, My Documents,
there is Music, Pictures and Videos, all of
| | 04:35 | these things are selected.
| | 04:37 | If I want to further dig down deeper
into that, I can click Advanced from here,
| | 04:42 | which opens up a Modify your selections window.
| | 04:44 | In here, I'm going to see all kinds of
different checkboxes, some of which are
| | 04:48 | checked off by default, others which are not.
| | 04:50 | So you may or may not want to
keep any of the selected items.
| | 04:56 | Once you've made your selections, click
Save and you may see a different amount
| | 05:01 | show up here after you've
changed some of those selections.
| | 05:04 | Now under Shared Items, we're going
to think about things like the shared
| | 05:09 | folders that all users, no matter how
many user accounts you have, are going to
| | 05:14 | share certain folders.
| | 05:15 | Let's go down to Customize here.
| | 05:17 | Now for me, you can see I've got a
huge amount here under Other Items.
| | 05:21 | You can see Windows Settings, Shared
Video, Pictures, and Music, these are the
| | 05:25 | shared folders, shared by the various accounts.
| | 05:27 | I'm going to go down to Advanced,
because I don't want to include this entire
| | 05:32 | additional drive here.
| | 05:34 | That's where I've got all
kinds of things stored away.
| | 05:37 | But I do want to keep all of my
other documents and settings and so on.
| | 05:39 | So when I save that change, you can
see its gone way down to 10 megabytes.
| | 05:45 | So you'll want to go through that
list with a fine-toothed comb, making sure
| | 05:48 | you're getting everything you need, and
deselecting the things you don't need to transfer.
| | 05:53 | Once you've got all of that, click your
Next button to move on to the next step.
| | 05:58 | Now this is optional, this step.
If you want to password-protect the file
| | 06:02 | you're about to create, you can do that just
by entering a password twice on this screen.
| | 06:07 | So I'm going to do that.
| | 06:10 | Since I'm going to be storing it on
the USB drive, if it falls into the wrong hands,
| | 06:14 | I don't want people
getting into that file and using it.
| | 06:16 | So I'm going to type in my
password twice and click Save.
| | 06:22 | Now, of course, at the other end,
when I go to use this file in Windows Easy
| | 06:26 | Transfer in my Windows 7 environment,
I'll have to remember that password.
| | 06:29 | So don't forget it. You might want to
write it down somewhere secret. All right.
| | 06:32 | So now, where do I want to store this?
| | 06:35 | Notice the file name is Windows Easy
Transfer - Items from old computer. It's very clear.
| | 06:40 | The type of file was an Easy Transfer file.
| | 06:42 | I just have to choose where it's going to.
| | 06:44 | So I'm going to go my Removable Disk here
that's plugged into my computer, a USB drive.
| | 06:49 | I'm going to click Open.
| | 06:50 | You can see I've got some folders
in there, but I've got lots of room.
| | 06:55 | So really, that's exactly
where I want to keep things.
| | 06:59 | I'm going to keep it. Click Save.
| | 07:01 | Now I just have to sit back and wait
while my files get copied over to that USB drive,
| | 07:06 | and stored, remember, in a
single file. That's the beauty.
| | 07:10 | It's a single file that I'll then
use in my Windows 7 environment.
| | 07:13 | So let's just sit back and
wait for this to run its course.
| | 07:18 | So depending on how much you're storing
away in this file, it could take several
| | 07:23 | minutes to over an hour.
| | 07:25 | Once you've got everything
transferred and compacted into that single file,
| | 07:29 | you'll see check marks next to the items
that were selected, and you're ready to move
| | 07:34 | on the next step. Clicking Next just
gives you some information about how to
| | 07:39 | open Windows Easy Transfer on the new
computer. Things you'll need to remember
| | 07:43 | after you've installed Windows 7.
| | 07:45 | You want to write down the location
where you saved your Transfer file, because
| | 07:49 | you're going to need to
open it on your new computer.
| | 07:51 | I've stored mine away on an external drive.
| | 07:54 | You may have done the same.
| | 07:55 | Click Next when you're done reading that.
| | 07:57 | You'll notice that the Easy
Transfer is complete on this computer.
| | 08:01 | So step 1 is completed.
| | 08:03 | After the installation,
we'll have to complete step 2.
| | 08:06 | So click the Close button, you'll want
to pull out the USB Drive or external disk,
| | 08:11 | if that's what you've used.
| | 08:12 | If you put it on to a network, perfect,
you can just leave it there until you're
| | 08:16 | ready to retrieve it again,
after Windows 7 is installed.

2. Installing Windows 7Performing a clean install on a new partition| 00:00 | If you're nervous about replacing
Windows XP with Windows 7, or if you would
| | 00:04 | simply like to try out Window 7 and
keep XP available while you transition to
| | 00:09 | the new operating system.
| | 00:10 | You might consider installing
Window 7 to its own partition.
| | 00:14 | This is an option we're going to
explore now as we begin to install Window 7.
| | 00:19 | But before installing Window 7, the
first thing you'll need to do is create that
| | 00:22 | new partition on your hard drive to
hold the new installation of Windows.
| | 00:27 | Partitioning a hard drive though is
not a task for the novice user. One wrong
| | 00:32 | turn and you could end up
wiping your hard drive clean.
| | 00:35 | Now, every computer system is a little
bit different and there are a huge number
| | 00:38 | of tools out there that are available
to help you tackle the partitioning task.
| | 00:42 | For example, in XP you can use a
graphical user interface for managing disk.
| | 00:48 | We'll click Start, and right-click My
Computer, and from the pop-up menu click Manage.
| | 00:54 | This opens up Computer Management, and on the
left hand side we will select Disk Management.
| | 01:00 | And this is going to list all of your
different volumes, your partitions.
| | 01:04 | You are going to see the file system used.
You're going to see capacity, lots of
| | 01:09 | information about each of the
drives that might be in your computer.
| | 01:12 | And like I said, all
systems are going to be different.
| | 01:15 | You may have more than one physical drive.
| | 01:17 | You may have several partitions and
volumes, volume labels like D and C.
| | 01:21 | Now, if I wanted to use the partition,
volume label D, I can select it from the list
| | 01:27 | and I have got a
number of tools across the top.
| | 01:30 | If I wanted to delete that
partition, for example, I could do that.
| | 01:34 | I could also come down here and you
can see I have got two physical drives.
| | 01:38 | You may see just one drive, Disk 0 for
example with the different partitions.
| | 01:43 | And because I have selected it up here,
you can see that it appears selected or
| | 01:46 | shaded over here on the right hand side.
| | 01:48 | So with this selected, and I can
click it here as well, I can go up to the
| | 01:52 | Action menu, move down to All Tasks
and look at some of the things I can do.
| | 01:56 | I can make the partition
active or the bootable section.
| | 02:00 | But really what I want to do is
probably reformat it and there is a Format
| | 02:03 | option and I can choose the Format from
this particular menu that I want to use.
| | 02:08 | There is Delete Partition again as well.
| | 02:10 | Or I can simply view the
properties for that particular partition.
| | 02:14 | Make sure there is enough free space. It doesn't
look like I'm using a lot of space in this one.
| | 02:18 | So I'm ready to start to
partitioning or reformatting this one.
| | 02:22 | I'm going to click OK.
| | 02:22 | Let's close this up and
take a look at another option.
| | 02:27 | If you are one of those people who
likes to work from a command line,
| | 02:30 | you can click Start, then choose Run,
and type in diskpart, short for disk
| | 02:36 | partition, and click OK.
| | 02:37 | And this opens up a little window
with a command line and you are ready to
| | 02:41 | start using the commands that
are available to you in diskpart.
| | 02:45 | In fact, if you type in the word help,
you'll see a list of those commands.
| | 02:49 | You can see there is quite a
list of commands you can use.
| | 02:51 | One of them is the
SELECT command, for example.
| | 02:55 | So if I wanted to select a
particular drive or partition, I need to see
| | 02:59 | which ones there are first of all,
and that's the List command.
| | 03:01 | So let's start with list, and we will
type in disk, list disk, press Enter, and
| | 03:07 | you can see there are two for me.
You would probably see one.
| | 03:10 | The most common scenario is one hard
drive and it will be labeled with a
| | 03:13 | number like 0 or 1.
| | 03:15 | You see will the size, how much is free.
| | 03:17 | Now this doesn't mean that you're using up all
of the space if you see 0 B Free, f or example.
| | 03:22 | It just means that 0 B are allocated
to anything else, or all of the space is
| | 03:28 | allocated to a single operating system.
| | 03:30 | And that's where you might want to
shrink one of them down to create that extra
| | 03:34 | unallocated space for another partition.
| | 03:37 | So let's select 1, we can type in
select disk, I'm going to type in 1 and press Enter.
| | 03:43 | You can see it's now selected.
| | 03:45 | If I want to see the partitions, I type
in list again, but this time I'm going
| | 03:48 | to type in part, short for
partition, and press Enter.
| | 03:51 | There is couple of partitions
here, and you can see their sizes.
| | 03:55 | And it looks like Partition 2 is the
one that I would want to shrink using
| | 03:58 | the shrink command.
| | 04:00 | I'm not going to shrink Partition 2
using this tool, but this is an example of
| | 04:05 | how you would do it.
| | 04:06 | And that would shrink it down to
create some space available for your new
| | 04:10 | partition where you could then install
Windows 7, creating a dual-boot system if you will.
| | 04:16 | So let's close this up right now.
| | 04:18 | Now, there are also a number of
third party applications that will really
| | 04:23 | make partitioning a hard drive much
easier, tools for shrinking it down so
| | 04:28 | you can see how much space you have
left to shrink it down to and then
| | 04:32 | repartitioning and formatting that
part of the hard drive so it's ready for
| | 04:36 | your Windows 7 installation.
| | 04:38 | So I would suggest to getting on to
Google and looking up some of those disk
| | 04:43 | partitioning tools for Windows XP.
| | 04:46 | Couple had come to mind. PartitionMagic.
| | 04:48 | There is another one called
GParted. It's pretty good.
| | 04:52 | Lot's of them up there, so
take a look for yourself.
| | 04:54 | Once you've got our partition
created, you are ready to start the
| | 04:58 | installation, but if you want to be
able to manipulate the partition from the
| | 05:02 | installation process, you need to pop
the installation disk into the drive and
| | 05:07 | reboot, making sure that your computer
allows you to boot from your CD or DVD
| | 05:13 | drive in this case.
| | 05:14 | So, with the disk in there, reboot your
computer, and you'll start to see some
| | 05:19 | information popping up on your screen.
| | 05:21 | Now, the first screen you're going to
see is a black screen showing you that
| | 05:27 | Windows is loading files.
| | 05:29 | Now, as it's loading those files
you'll see the status bar. It will shade in
| | 05:33 | until finally it's completed
and move on to the next screen.
| | 05:37 | On the next screen it will look
like Windows 7 is starting up.
| | 05:41 | It will say Starting Windows, but
really it's staring the installation process.
| | 05:46 | Eventually, you'll see the next screen
where you will get to choose the language
| | 05:50 | that you want to use, the time and
currency format that you want to use, and
| | 05:54 | your keyboard or input method.
| | 05:56 | So you'll see little dropdowns
that allow you to change those.
| | 05:59 | Once you click the Next button,
you are on to the next step, which is to
| | 06:02 | actually begin the installation of Windows 7.
| | 06:06 | You'll see some links as well for
What you need to know before installing
| | 06:10 | Windows and repairing your computer, but
when you click Install now, you'll move
| | 06:14 | on to the next screen.
| | 06:15 | It will take a couple of
minutes for setup to get going.
| | 06:18 | It will say Setup is starting.
| | 06:20 | And then you'll see that actual
Software License Terms for which you'll need to
| | 06:24 | click the I accept checkbox
in the bottom-left corner.
| | 06:28 | Only once you've selected that
checkbox will you be able to click the Next
| | 06:32 | button to move on to the next step.
| | 06:35 | The next step shows you a couple of
different options for installing Windows 7.
| | 06:40 | Going from XP, you won't
be able to select Upgrade.
| | 06:43 | If you do, you'll see an error
screen saying that you can't upgrade.
| | 06:46 | You have to do a custom install from here.
| | 06:48 | So, when you click Custom install,
you'll move on to the next screen, which is
| | 06:53 | going to list your various disks.
| | 06:55 | So you'll see how much space for
example, the Total Size, Free Space, and
| | 07:00 | you will want to select the correct partition.
| | 07:02 | So the one that you set up already,
you will want to make sure it's selected.
| | 07:06 | If you need to make changes to the
partition, in other words you want to access
| | 07:11 | the drive options, you'll notice a
link just underneath that window that says
| | 07:15 | Drive options with advanced in brackets.
| | 07:18 | And when you click that, you'll move on
to the next screen where you'll get some
| | 07:22 | additional commands. You'll see them
underneath that window where you can do
| | 07:26 | things like delete a partition, extend it,
format it, or create a new partition.
| | 07:32 | So you could do it right from there
so long as you have got free space.
| | 07:36 | So when you click New, then you
could create your new partition, if you
| | 07:39 | haven't already done it.
| | 07:40 | But likely you will have done this
ahead of time using another tool and it's
| | 07:44 | just a matter of simply selecting it.
| | 07:46 | You won't need to come in here;
you'll just move on to the next screen.
| | 07:49 | The next screen is actually
going to start the installation.
| | 07:52 | You are going to see it go through
copying files and expanding files, installing
| | 07:56 | features, and so on.
| | 07:58 | And you'll see that eventually once you
have gone through all of those stages,
| | 08:03 | it needs to restart.
| | 08:04 | So, Windows will restart your machine.
You can let it timeout or click the
| | 08:08 | Restart now button that appears in the
bottom-right hand corner of that screen.
| | 08:13 | And when you do, you are going to
see Setup is updating things like your
| | 08:15 | registry settings and so on.
| | 08:18 | Then after sometime, Setup will
start certain services, and you'll see a
| | 08:23 | little screen indicated so before it moves on
to installing or completing the installation.
| | 08:29 | And that's what you're going to see
in that last Install Windows window,
| | 08:32 | Completing the installation.
| | 08:34 | Now, it's going to continue after
restarting your computer another time.
| | 08:38 | There's several restarts involved
in Installing Windows 7.
| | 08:41 | But what are you going to see,
remember you've got the disk in the drive, so
| | 08:45 | you're going to see Press any key to boot
from the CD or DVD. You can go ahead do that.
| | 08:50 | And then it will say it's starting Windows.
| | 08:52 | Looks just like when we first popped
the disk into the drive and rebooted.
| | 08:57 | This time it really is starting Windows.
| | 08:59 | The next screen shows that it's preparing your
computer for the first time use in Windows 7.
| | 09:05 | So there will be a number of screens popping up.
| | 09:07 | Now, we might have to input
information or make selections, like your user name,
| | 09:12 | and the Type a computer name is an area
where you can type in the name of you computer.
| | 09:17 | So, if you wanted to
personalize it, for example.
| | 09:20 | Then you're going to have to create a
password and you will have to retype that password.
| | 09:24 | You won't be able to see what you're
typing in those fields, so that's why
| | 09:27 | you need to confirm it.
| | 09:28 | Click Next to move on to the next
screen, and enter the product key that came
| | 09:32 | with your actual Windows 7 copy.
| | 09:35 | Once you got that in there,
clicking Next takes you to the next screen,
| | 09:38 | where you can make selections dealing
with recommended settings, for example,
| | 09:44 | for installing updates.
| | 09:45 | So automatic updates are a big part of
Windows, and you can choose whether or
| | 09:49 | not you are going to use recommended
settings, important updates only, or just
| | 09:54 | deal with that later
using the Ask me later option.
| | 09:57 | You also going to have to choose your time zone,
and make sure the date and time are correct.
| | 10:02 | Once you got that, click Next
to move on to the next screen.
| | 10:05 | Here you can set up your computer's
current location on a network if you want to,
| | 10:10 | and when you move on to the next
screen, you can see it's connecting the
| | 10:14 | network if you have made any network
selections, for example, Home network.
| | 10:18 | And then eventually it's going to
move to the final window where it is
| | 10:21 | finalizing all of those
settings that you've selected.
| | 10:24 | And it's going to welcome you on the
next screen, and then it's going to prepare
| | 10:29 | your actual desktop, which is going
to be the final thing you see after
| | 10:33 | installing your brand new Windows 7 desktop.
| | 10:38 | Now, keep in mind too that because
you've booted from the actual DVD,
| | 10:43 | it's still in your drive.
| | 10:44 | You'll need to pop that out.
| | 10:46 | And you've also created what's
known as the dual-boot situation.
| | 10:48 | That means that every time you reboot
your computer now, you're going to have an
| | 10:52 | option to choose the operating system.
| | 10:54 | You are still going to be able to boot
using XP but when you want to experiment
| | 10:59 | with Windows 7, you'll choose that
option and it's going to display this brand
| | 11:04 | new desktop that you see in
front of you in Windows 7.

| Installing Windows 7 to replace Windows XP| 00:00 | When it comes to installing Windows 7,
the most popular scenario will likely be
| | 00:05 | that Windows 7 is replacing a
previous version of Windows.
| | 00:09 | In our case, we will be
replacing Windows XP with Windows 7.
| | 00:14 | We have done our backup.
| | 00:15 | We have done our easy transfer to store
away our files and settings, email, etcetera.
| | 00:21 | And now it's time to replace that
old Windows XP with the new Windows 7.
| | 00:25 | So, we simply pop the Windows 7 disk
into our disk drive, and you can see it's
| | 00:31 | ready to start its little wizard that's
going to step us through the process of
| | 00:36 | installing Windows 7.
| | 00:38 | So, the first screen we see
is the Install Windows screen.
| | 00:41 | In step 1, we have two options.
| | 00:43 | We can check compatibility online.
| | 00:45 | That's going to make use of
the Windows Upgrade Advisor.
| | 00:48 | It's going to tell us if our
system is ready to receive Windows 7.
| | 00:52 | It's going to also tell us what
programs we will need to reinstall, etcetera.
| | 00:56 | But we have done all of that ahead of time,
all we need to do is click Install now.
| | 01:02 | Click that button and you are ready
to move on to the very first step.
| | 01:06 | First you will see that Setup is
copying some temporary files, this may take
| | 01:10 | several minutes to run its course.
| | 01:14 | And then it will switch over to
say that Setup is actually starting.
| | 01:18 | Next, this little window pops up, where
we have the opportunity to Go online to
| | 01:23 | get the latest updates for installation.
| | 01:25 | You will notice in this first
message that it is recommended.
| | 01:28 | So, you will get things like security
updates and hardware drivers, depending on
| | 01:32 | when you are installing this version
of Windows 7, there may be new updates
| | 01:36 | created daily in security, patches, and so on.
| | 01:39 | So, it's not a bad idea to go online
and get the latest updates during this
| | 01:43 | process, but if you have already done that,
you don't need to get the latest updates.
| | 01:47 | This is going to be your selection.
| | 01:49 | You also have the ability down below to
help Windows installations get a little better.
| | 01:55 | So, a feedback will be supplied
automatically to Microsoft if you select this checkbox.
| | 02:00 | So, we will make our selection
to ignore the updates for now.
| | 02:04 | We will go right into the next screen,
which is to accept the license agreement.
| | 02:08 | You will need to go through the various
licensing terms, and once you have read
| | 02:13 | this entire document, you can accept
what you've read, only then will the Next
| | 02:19 | button be available to you.
| | 02:20 | Click Next to move to the next step.
| | 02:22 | Now, remember we are going from XP to
Windows 7, so Upgrade is not an option.
| | 02:27 | In fact, if you select this, you will
see an error screen, saying that you
| | 02:31 | can't upgrade, you need a clean installation
and you can't really go back all that easily.
| | 02:35 | Let's try it, click Upgrade.
| | 02:36 | You will notice that it looks like
we obviously can't do this from XP and
| | 02:42 | its very tricky here.
| | 02:44 | It looks like we need to close this up.
| | 02:45 | But there is a Back button.
| | 02:46 | It's kind of hiding up here in the top-
left corner, so we will give it a click
| | 02:49 | to go back to the previous screen.
| | 02:51 | We need to perform a Custom install.
| | 02:53 | It's going to be a clean installation,
so we make this selection, and now
| | 02:57 | here is where we go to select the Partition
and the drive where we are going to install this.
| | 03:02 | So, you can see I have got one selected here.
| | 03:05 | You may have one or more physical disk
drives that you can install Windows 7 to.
| | 03:11 | You may have several Partitions as well.
| | 03:14 | All you need to do is make sure that
right one is selected, in fact you may not
| | 03:17 | have any option, you may
only see one at this point.
| | 03:20 | And when you click Next, a little
window will pop up that the partition you
| | 03:24 | selected might contain files
from previous Windows installation.
| | 03:27 | That's our XP installation.
| | 03:29 | If it does, just a little warning that
all the files and folders will be moved
| | 03:33 | to a folder named Windows.old.
| | 03:34 | We'll be exploring that later on.
| | 03:36 | And you will be able to access all of
that information but you are not going to
| | 03:40 | be able to use your previous
version of Windows, in this case XP.
| | 03:42 | We already know that so we
click OK, and off it goes.
| | 03:48 | So, this can take quite a while.
| | 03:50 | This is probably a good time to go and
get yourself a drink, maybe sit back,
| | 03:55 | relax and let the installer do its work.
| | 03:58 | Windows 7 is going to run through
some installation bits and all of these
| | 04:01 | options here that you see
down the left-hand side.
| | 04:04 | And it's going to restart itself
more than once along the way.
| | 04:08 | But eventually you will be prompted
to set up your user account, enter that
| | 04:11 | license key that came with your copy
of Windows 7, and set up Windows,
| | 04:16 | things like your time zone, for example.
| | 04:18 | And then when it's finished, you will be up
and running with your new Windows 7 installation.
| | 04:23 | Congratulations!

| Exploring your old XP files stored automatically by Windows 7| 00:00 | Once the installation of Windows 7
has completed, it's up and running and
| | 00:04 | ready to use.
| | 00:05 | But something interesting happens
during the installation process you
| | 00:09 | should know about.
| | 00:10 | Your old XP files are backed up and
stored for you and they are available to you
| | 00:14 | here in Windows 7, so let's explore that now.
| | 00:17 | We will go to the bottom-left corner
and click the Windows, or sometimes called
| | 00:21 | the Start button, and then click Computer.
| | 00:25 | Now, in Windows Explorer, we will go
to our hard-drive, probably called Local
| | 00:29 | Disk (C:), if you have only got one.
| | 00:31 | Double-click that and you are in the
root section of your hard drive, you will
| | 00:35 | find a folder named Windows.old.
| | 00:38 | You can double-click that to open it
up and you will see some sub-folders and files.
| | 00:42 | Now, these are the files that were
stored during the installation process
| | 00:46 | from Windows XP.
| | 00:47 | For example, if we go to Documents and
Settings and double-click, you will see
| | 00:51 | the user accounts that you have.
| | 00:53 | Find your own and double-click that
folder, and you see all of your own
| | 00:57 | sub-folders, and in those sub-
folders you will find your files, such as
| | 01:01 | your Documents.
| | 01:02 | Double-click My Documents to see all
of your documents and sub-folders for
| | 01:06 | Music, Pictures, Videos, and so on.
| | 01:08 | So you always have these files
accessible to you here in Windows 7.
| | 01:13 | But if you have used Windows Easy
Transfer earlier on to back-up your files and
| | 01:17 | even your settings like, settings for
Internet Explorer and e-mail messages and
| | 01:22 | Outlook, for example, then you will
want to think of this as a back-up that you
| | 01:26 | can access in case of an emergency.
| | 01:28 | Because you will have all of these
files plus all of those settings in
| | 01:31 | Windows Easy Transfer.
| | 01:32 | So we will just close up this window
and feel safe and secure knowing that we
| | 01:37 | have all of our files backed-
up in that Windows.old folder.

3. Post-Installation Tasks on Your Windows 7 MachineUsing Easy Transfer to restore files and settings| 00:00 | If you use Windows Easy Transfer in
Windows XP to back-up and store your files
| | 00:05 | and settings after the Windows 7
installation has completed, you are ready to go
| | 00:09 | get those files and settings and restore them to
your new Windows 7 environment. Let's do that now.
| | 00:15 | Windows Easy Transfer is actually
included in the Windows 7 installation, so you
| | 00:20 | don't need to download it or install it.
| | 00:22 | All you need to do is go down to the
Windows Orb and click, and go up to All
| | 00:26 | Programs, click Accessories, and there
you will see a folder named System Tools,
| | 00:33 | give that a click and that's where
you will find Windows Easy Transfer.
| | 00:36 | So you give that a click to launch the
application, and the Welcome screen is
| | 00:40 | what you may recognize from the
Windows XP environment, just a little
| | 00:45 | information about how to use Easy Transfer.
| | 00:47 | But we have already used it to
back-up our files and settings.
| | 00:51 | So, when we click Next, we
need to choose our method.
| | 00:54 | Now, if you've used An Easy Transfer
cable, to store your files and settings
| | 00:58 | to another computer, you need to have
that computer plugged-in, connected and
| | 01:03 | as soon you click here, it's going to
recognize that computer and go find your files.
| | 01:07 | It's very simple.
| | 01:08 | Or maybe you chose to back-up your
files and settings to an easy transfer
| | 01:12 | file on a Network somewhere, so you
have to be connected to that network now
| | 01:16 | of course, and be able to go to the
location where you chose to store your
| | 01:21 | files and settings.
| | 01:22 | And the other option of course is a
hard disk that's plugged-in, a USB flash
| | 01:28 | drive, for example, an external hard
drive is a good option because it's got
| | 01:33 | so much more space.
| | 01:34 | If you have got a huge number of files
and settings, you likely used a network
| | 01:38 | or the Easy Transfer cable, which
allows you to store everything on another
| | 01:41 | computer or network drive.
| | 01:43 | So, whatever you used, go ahead and select
it now, I am selecting an external drive.
| | 01:49 | Now, This is my new computer, it's the
same computer but it's my new installation.
| | 01:54 | So, it's called my new computer, and
when I select that, the next question is
| | 01:58 | have I already plugged-in my
USB or external hard disk drive.
| | 02:01 | And the answer for me is Yes.
| | 02:03 | If not, I would click No, and
I would be prompted to do so.
| | 02:06 | But I have already plugged it in, so I am going
to choose Yes, and now I have to go locate it.
| | 02:11 | There it is, my Removable Disk, so I
am going to select it, and click Open.
| | 02:16 | And you are going to see my
Windows Easy Transfer file.
| | 02:19 | That is, my items from my old computer.
| | 02:21 | So when I select it, it shows up as the
File name, all I have to do is click Open now.
| | 02:26 | And this is the one that I password
protected, so just in case it fell into the
| | 02:29 | wrong hands, anyone would need a
password to get inside the file where all of my
| | 02:35 | files and settings are stored.
| | 02:36 | So I am going to type in that
password now, and click Next.
| | 02:39 | Now, you can see it's taking me to the
next item, which is choosing my User account.
| | 02:47 | Now, you have the ability here to
customize exactly what you want to restore.
| | 02:51 | By default, all of your user accounts
and Shared Items will be checked off, and
| | 02:57 | if you want to bring all of those
things back, leave them checked.
| | 03:01 | But if you want to be able to
customize exactly what you are bringing back
| | 03:04 | into your Windows 7 environment, click the
Customize link that appears under each item.
| | 03:08 | So, you can see my Desktop, Favorites,
all My Documents, Pictures, etcetera.
| | 03:14 | And if you want to be very picky about
what you select from those categories,
| | 03:18 | you can click Advanced, and it open
up a little window, where you can start
| | 03:21 | selecting and deselecting your various folders.
| | 03:24 | Maybe I don't need my Favorites but I
do want all My Documents and UserData.
| | 03:29 | You can see I can go down the list
selecting and deselecting anything I want.
| | 03:34 | I am going to bring my
Favorites back and click Save.
| | 03:38 | You can do the same for your Shared
Items, or if you prefer not to bring
| | 03:41 | in those Shared Items at all, just deselect
the checkbox, and now it's time to transfer.
| | 03:46 | Just before you transfer, notice there
is an Advanced Options link just above
| | 03:50 | the Transfer button.
| | 03:51 | Now if you wanted, you could go in here to
Map user accounts to different user accounts.
| | 03:58 | So, when you install Windows 7, you
have to set up a user account, and if you
| | 04:02 | used a different name, you would want to map
your old user account to one of the new ones.
| | 04:06 | And you can see I have only got one and
I used the same name, or I could create
| | 04:10 | a new user account if I wanted to.
| | 04:12 | And I am going to do that and then
what I am going to do is I am going to
| | 04:15 | call this DavidOld.
| | 04:19 | So this is my old user account, and if I want to
use a password here I could, I could create it.
| | 04:23 | But I am not going to use a password.
| | 04:25 | I am just going to click Create.
| | 04:26 | So my old user account is going to go
to a new user account that's getting
| | 04:30 | created, so I could log in as
DavidOld to access all of those things.
| | 04:34 | But if you prefer just to bring
everything over to your actual existing account,
| | 04:39 | make sure that it's selected, and you
can use your scrollbar, I want to go to my
| | 04:43 | new David account, everything is going
to be there when I click Save, and then
| | 04:46 | choose the Transfer button.
| | 04:47 | So just so you know you have that
option, if you want to map user accounts to
| | 04:53 | new user accounts, maybe you're named
differently or you want to create new
| | 04:57 | ones, you can always do that.
| | 04:58 | Now, it's just a matter of sitting
back and letting Windows Easy Transfer,
| | 05:02 | transfer all of your files and settings,
and depending on how much this could
| | 05:06 | take, quite a while.
| | 05:07 | If you have got many, many files, big
files, lots of music files, movie files,
| | 05:11 | for example, this could take some time.
| | 05:14 | You can go sit back, relax,
and wait for this to complete.
| | 05:17 | And this is the screen
you will see when it's done.
| | 05:19 | The transfer is complete.
| | 05:21 | And you've got a couple of
options here, See what was transferred.
| | 05:24 | And I like this one down here, See a
list of programs you might want to install
| | 05:28 | on your new computer.
| | 05:29 | Based on the files that you just
brought over you may not have all of the
| | 05:33 | programs necessary to look at those files.
| | 05:36 | For example, if you used an
application such as Microsoft Word to create a
| | 05:40 | number of your documents and you haven't
installed that yet, you will see that on the list.
| | 05:45 | So I am going to click, See a list of
programs that I might want to install,
| | 05:48 | looks like Movie Maker is one of them,
I need Outlook Express, and there is a
| | 05:52 | whole bunch of them down here that I
am going to need to install if I want to
| | 05:56 | be able to access all of those files
and settings that I just brought over to
| | 06:02 | my new environment.
| | 06:03 | There is also the Transfer report.
| | 06:05 | So when I click Transfer report, you
can see the number of accounts, documents,
| | 06:08 | System settings all transferred.
| | 06:10 | And you can see I can also view old
reports here as well, but we can get to
| | 06:14 | those reports after the fact as well.
| | 06:16 | We don't have to focus in on
this particular screen to get there.
| | 06:20 | We can always go back and view reports.
| | 06:22 | I will be showing you that a little bit later.
| | 06:24 | If I click See what was transferred,
you can see it's just the Transfer report
| | 06:28 | tab that's selected here in my
Windows Easy Transfer Reports.
| | 06:31 | I am going to close that up, and Close this up.
| | 06:35 | And of course I will need to restart
for all of my settings to take effect.
| | 06:39 | So, clicking Restart now is going to
restart my computer, and if I had a
| | 06:44 | different Desktop setting, if I had a
number of Favorites, and so on, they are
| | 06:48 | all going to show up after the restart.
| | 06:51 | So, thanks to Windows Easy Transfer I
didn't have to worry about backing-up all
| | 06:55 | of my files and those settings and
remembering my Favorites and Internet
| | 06:58 | Explorer, for example, all of that comes over.
| | 07:01 | It's a great tool to help
you migrate to Windows 7.

| Exploring the results of Easy Transfer| 00:00 | If you've used Windows Easy Transfer to
back up and store all your our old files
| | 00:04 | and settings in your XP environment,
and then here in Windows 7 you have used
| | 00:08 | Easy Transfer to get them all back, you
have to restart your computer and at the
| | 00:12 | end of that restart you may have
noticed some changes right off the bat.
| | 00:16 | For example, on your Desktop you might
see some icons showing up if you've them
| | 00:20 | on your Desktop before.
| | 00:22 | I didn't, so I don't see anything.
| | 00:24 | I've a nice clean Desktop.
| | 00:25 | If you go down to your Start button
and you click in the bottom left corner,
| | 00:29 | Start Menu items will appear on your Start Menu.
| | 00:33 | If you had none in Windows XP, that's
what you're going to see here, just like I
| | 00:36 | don't see any Start items.
| | 00:38 | But here from the Start menu, you can
also explore some other things like our
| | 00:42 | documents and music files and so on.
| | 00:45 | Let's click Documents to
go to the Documents Library.
| | 00:48 | All of your old files are copied over
to the Documents Library automatically
| | 00:51 | from your Documents folder, and you'll
see sub-folders here as well if you had
| | 00:55 | any, in your Documents folder.
| | 00:57 | If we go over to Music or Pictures,
you're going to see those separate nice
| | 01:02 | organized into the Pictures Library.
| | 01:04 | Same thing goes for Videos.
| | 01:06 | You can explore some of the
other locations on your computer.
| | 01:09 | You're going to find all
of your old files from XP.
| | 01:11 | When you're done, close that up.
| | 01:13 | What about things like your
Favorites in Internet Explorer?
| | 01:16 | Let's launch Internet Explorer.
| | 01:17 | Now when you visit websites, over time,
you start to mark them as favorites so
| | 01:22 | you can go back to them quickly.
| | 01:24 | Imagine having to remember all of those
sites, find them all, make favorites out
| | 01:29 | of them again here in the new
Internet Explorer that comes with Windows 7,
| | 01:33 | Internet Explorer 8.
| | 01:34 | Well, thanks to Windows Easy Transfer,
just click your Favorites button to open
| | 01:38 | up that pane and you'll see all
of your old favorites show up here.
| | 01:41 | You didn't have to do a thing except
run Windows Easy Transfer, which copied
| | 01:46 | them all and stored them here
in the new Internet Explorer 8.
| | 01:49 | So when you're done
examining those, you can close it up.
| | 01:53 | Other things you might want to
explore on your own, if you want to checkout
| | 01:58 | e-mail messages and contact list.
| | 02:01 | Well, you're going to need to load
those programs here in Windows 7 and you're
| | 02:04 | going to see all your old e-mail
messages, you're going to see all of your old
| | 02:08 | contacts, all stored for you and
transferred into your new Windows 7
| | 02:12 | environment, thanks to Windows Easy Transfer.

| Viewing Easy Transfer Reports| 00:00 | If you've used Windows Easy Transfer to
get all your files and settings over to
| | 00:04 | Windows 7, you may have noticed
that at the end of the process, some
| | 00:07 | information was presented.
| | 00:09 | Information such as the user accounts and
the files that were copied over, the size.
| | 00:16 | We also saw that system
settings were copied over.
| | 00:19 | You may have flipped over to the other
tab that shows you a list of programs you
| | 00:22 | might need to install to
access those files and settings.
| | 00:25 | That's all part of the
Windows Easy Transfer Report.
| | 00:28 | But when you finish the process,
it's gone, but not permanently.
| | 00:31 | You can always go back to those
reports and we're going to do that now.
| | 00:34 | Click the Start button in the bottom
left-hand corner, then click All Programs,
| | 00:39 | click Accessories and then System Tools.
| | 00:42 | Now here is where we find Windows Easy
Transfer, but it's also where we find the
| | 00:46 | Windows Easy Transfer Reports.
| | 00:48 | So you can click this and if you see
a little window asking for permission
| | 00:52 | to run this program, just click Yes,
and you'll see the Windows Easy
| | 00:55 | Transfer Reports screen.
| | 00:57 | And the two tabs we saw at the end of
the migration process, the Transfer report
| | 01:02 | tab and the Program report tab.
| | 01:04 | Under Transfer report we see our user
accounts, documents and settings were
| | 01:08 | transferred, and if we want details,
for example, on the user accounts,
| | 01:11 | click the Details link.
| | 01:13 | So in this case, my David user account
in XP was transferred to a user account
| | 01:19 | named David here as well.
| | 01:21 | Okay, you'll see other user
accounts there if you had them.
| | 01:23 | I am going to close this up. I like this one.
| | 01:26 | Under documents, you'll see the
number of documents that were transferred.
| | 01:29 | You can always get those details as well.
| | 01:31 | Not only are you going to see the names,
but the locations on the old PC and
| | 01:35 | where they gotten moved to on the new
PC and you can scroll down that list.
| | 01:39 | What I like about this is you don't
always have to run the Windows Easy Transfer
| | 01:43 | Report to get to this information.
| | 01:46 | If you prefer to use something like a
spreadsheet application, you can click
| | 01:49 | Save Report, choose a location.
| | 01:52 | You can put it anywhere.
| | 01:53 | I am going to leave it in my Documents.
| | 01:54 | The name is going to be
Migrated Documents Report.
| | 01:57 | That's the default.
| | 01:58 | Again, you could type right over
that and choose any name you like.
| | 02:02 | The Save as type is going to be
defaulted to CSV, Comma Separated Values,
| | 02:07 | which is ideal for viewing in a spreadsheet
application such as Microsoft Excel for example.
| | 02:13 | And once you have got it into an
application, it's easy to manipulate.
| | 02:16 | Then if you want to organize things
differently, so you can view the report the
| | 02:20 | way you like to view it.
| | 02:21 | So when you click Save, you're actually
saving all of this information to that
| | 02:25 | comma separated value report, and
you can close this up when you're done.
| | 02:30 | And we've also got the Program report
tab, which we can go back to, and this
| | 02:34 | is going to help us.
| | 02:35 | Notice that there is a couple of
things in this first section that are not
| | 02:38 | included in Windows 7 that we had in
Windows XP, like Movie Maker for example
| | 02:44 | and Outlook Express.
| | 02:45 | We can go get those after the fact.
| | 02:47 | Windows Movie Maker is part
of Windows Live Essentials.
| | 02:50 | It's a free download.
| | 02:52 | Now why would you have to do it
separately when you didn't before?
| | 02:55 | Well, maybe you never used Movie Maker
and it was sitting there taking up space
| | 02:58 | when you didn't really need it.
| | 03:00 | Now, you go and get the things you need
and you go to the Microsoft website to
| | 03:04 | find Windows Live Essentials.
| | 03:06 | Little further down, you're going
to see other programs and software
| | 03:10 | manufacturers that you might need to address.
| | 03:13 | If you need to open up for example, PDF
files, you might need the Adobe Reader,
| | 03:17 | something you had in your old XP
environment that you don't have in your
| | 03:22 | Windows 7 environment.
| | 03:23 | So it's great that you can always come
back and look at this information at any time.
| | 03:27 | When you're done, click the Close
button and you're back to where you started.

| Cleaning up temporary files with disk cleanup| 00:00 | If you've installed Windows 7
successfully and you've used Windows Easy Transfer
| | 00:04 | to transfer your old files and
settings from your old XP environment to the
| | 00:09 | Windows 7 environment, you're ready to roll.
| | 00:12 | During the process of the
installation and easy transfer, certain things
| | 00:16 | happened behind the scenes.
| | 00:17 | Temporary files are created,
files that are no longer necessary.
| | 00:21 | Think about that windows.old folder
that's created storing your old files from
| | 00:26 | the XP environment that you really
don't need if you were successful in using
| | 00:30 | Windows Easy Transfer to get
them over to your new environment.
| | 00:33 | So you might want to clean up your
computer, clean up that space so it's
| | 00:37 | available to you here in Windows 7.
| | 00:38 | That's what we're going to do right
now using a utility called Disk Cleanup.
| | 00:43 | We'll click the Start button, click All
Programs, click Accessories, then System
| | 00:48 | Tools and here you'll find
the Disk Cleanup utility.
| | 00:52 | So when you select that, the first
window prompts you for the drive you want to
| | 00:57 | cleanup, which will be your hard drive.
| | 00:59 | Now if you happened to have more
than one hard drive, you'll be able to
| | 01:01 | select from this list.
| | 01:03 | You want to select the drive though
where you've installed Windows 7, in
| | 01:07 | this case, the C drive.
| | 01:09 | Then when you click OK, it may take a
couple of minutes for Disk Cleanup to
| | 01:14 | analyze your system and search for
temporary files and other useless files that
| | 01:19 | you might be able to get
rid of, to free up that space.
| | 01:22 | So the Disk Cleanup tab is selected and
you can see down below checkmarks next
| | 01:25 | to certain items that will be deleted.
| | 01:29 | Downloaded Program Files, there is
Temporary Internet Files that are no longer needed.
| | 01:33 | And as you scroll down the list, you'll
see some checkboxes are not checked off
| | 01:36 | at all, while others are.
| | 01:38 | Now if you want to clear your system, in
other words, you want to have access to
| | 01:42 | those hidden files as well, you
can choose Clean up system files.
| | 01:46 | Again, it's going to prompt you for the drive,
with the C drive selected we can click OK.
| | 01:50 | It will take a minute to
analyze what's possible for deletion.
| | 01:55 | Here we have a Disk Cleanup
tab as well as More Options.
| | 01:59 | So we can go down here selecting the
actual files we want to be able to delete.
| | 02:03 | You can click checkboxes next to the
items and you'll notice that there is
| | 02:06 | something else on this list that we
didn't see previously and that's Previous
| | 02:10 | Windows Installation.
| | 02:12 | That's our windows.old folder.
| | 02:14 | So if you click the checkbox there, and
then just click to select it, you'll be
| | 02:18 | able to read a description down below.
| | 02:20 | These are files and folders that might
conflict with the installation of Windows
| | 02:24 | 7 that we've now, and they were
moved into that folder for that reason.
| | 02:28 | Now we can access this data at any time,
but with the checkbox selected, we're
| | 02:32 | about to remove those files.
| | 02:34 | So only when you feel totally confident
and safe that you no longer need those
| | 02:38 | files, go ahead and click this checkbox.
| | 02:41 | Now let's check the More Options tab.
| | 02:43 | If we wanted to we can also go in and
start removing Programs and Features.
| | 02:48 | And we could do this from the Control
Panel as well by uninstalling programs.
| | 02:52 | But if you want to do it all in one fell
swoop, you can do it from here as well,
| | 02:55 | as well as a System Restore and Shadow Copies.
| | 02:58 | If you have an automatic backup or if you
backed up your system, you can always restore it.
| | 03:04 | If you have used the Restore feature
there are shadow files that exist from
| | 03:09 | previous restore points.
| | 03:11 | So if you wanted to clean those up
as well, you've two buttons here that
| | 03:14 | give you that access.
| | 03:16 | Let's go back to the Disk Cleanup tab.
| | 03:19 | Make sure we've
everything selected that we want.
| | 03:21 | You can empty the Recycle Bin along
the way as well, and if you've got
| | 03:26 | everything selected the way you want,
click OK and you'll need to confirm
| | 03:31 | because we're deleting files permanently.
| | 03:33 | Click the Delete Files button, sit
back and let this cleanup do its job.
| | 03:39 | When it's done, you'll notice you've a
little bit more free space on your hard
| | 03:42 | drive that you can use for
other things here in Windows 7.

| Getting your hardware devices connected with drivers| 00:00 | With Windows XP, installing a device,
attaching it to your computer often meant
| | 00:05 | installing a driver that came with the device.
| | 00:08 | You'd pop in a disk and you'd install
the driver and then your device would be
| | 00:12 | up and running and ready to go.
| | 00:13 | But with Windows 7, it's a whole lot
easier and it's worth mentioning in this title.
| | 00:18 | You are now going to have one
convenient Devices and Printer location for
| | 00:23 | viewing and configuring all your
devices like printers and cameras, phones,
| | 00:26 | USB drives and so on.
| | 00:28 | Let's go down to the Start button
and choose Devices and Printers.
| | 00:32 | Now here you are going to see a
list of the devices that are already
| | 00:36 | connected to your computer.
| | 00:38 | If they were connected during the
Windows 7 installation, they were likely
| | 00:41 | recognized by Windows 7 and
installed automatically for you.
| | 00:46 | Microsoft has access to thousands and
thousands of drivers and there is now
| | 00:50 | something called Device Stage that's
even going to simplify the process even
| | 00:54 | further for installing multi-
function devices like smart phones and
| | 00:58 | media-players, multi-functions printers.
| | 01:00 | We are going to explore how to
attach a device now, really quite simple.
| | 01:05 | Let's say you've got a multi-function
printer that's a scanner as well and you
| | 01:10 | want to install it in Windows 7.
| | 01:12 | All you have to do is plug it in.
| | 01:14 | Let's see what happens when we plug-in a device.
| | 01:16 | If you've got something like a smart
phone or maybe a multi-function device such
| | 01:21 | as a printer/scanner combination,
go ahead and plug it in now.
| | 01:25 | So you can see what happens right
away down at the bottom of your screen,
| | 01:30 | automatically Windows 7 locates the
drivers and installs it for you, and
| | 01:34 | eventually it'll say that
the device is ready to use.
| | 01:37 | It was installed successfully.
| | 01:38 | Not only that, it now shows up in your
Devices and Printers window and in some
| | 01:43 | cases, if it's the first printer, for
example, that you've installed, you might
| | 01:47 | see a green checkmark indicating
that it's the default printing device.
| | 01:51 | That's my case and that's why you
see that green checkmark next to my
| | 01:55 | HP PhotoSmart printer.
| | 01:57 | So as you start to plug-in more and
more devices, Windows 7 will locate the
| | 02:01 | drivers for you, install them, and in
some cases you may even see additional
| | 02:06 | information from something called Device Stage.
| | 02:08 | A Device Stage is actually going
to throw up an extra screen for you.
| | 02:14 | You may even see a
picture of your actual device.
| | 02:17 | It will look a lot like your device.
| | 02:19 | It may even show the same color, all
of that stored with the device itself.
| | 02:24 | And the unique pages that pop-up for
each of these devices when you plug it in
| | 02:28 | are totally customizable by
the device makers themselves.
| | 02:32 | So as Windows 7 gains popularity and
over time more and more of these devices
| | 02:37 | will show up on the list.
| | 02:38 | So watch out for Device Stage, a new
feature that will simplify and streamline
| | 02:42 | the installation and set up for many of those multi-
function devices you will be connecting to your PC.

| Final considerations for completing the migration| 00:00 | Because there is no formal upgrade
path when migrating from Windows XP to
| | 00:04 | Windows 7, you are required to perform
what's called a Clean Installation of
| | 00:09 | Windows 7, and this of course means,
you are going to have some final tasks to
| | 00:12 | take care of before you can be fully
back-up and running as you were in XP.
| | 00:17 | Let's explore those tasks now.
| | 00:19 | One, you'll need to reinstall your old programs.
| | 00:22 | This means you are going to need the
original installed disks and you want to
| | 00:26 | have those license numbers or serial numbers
handy and be ready to pop those in as required.
| | 00:32 | Now don't forget we've also got the
Easy Transfer Report that you can access at
| | 00:36 | any time and it's going to list all of
those programs that you might need to run
| | 00:41 | some of those old files or settings
that you've stored using Easy Transfer.
| | 00:46 | Another thing to consider
is Windows Live Essentials.
| | 00:49 | Now if you use programs or accessories
that came with XP, you might not find
| | 00:54 | them here in Windows 7.
| | 00:55 | Well with Windows Live Essentials, you
are going to get things like that Mail
| | 00:59 | application but it's better now.
| | 01:01 | It brings Hotmail, G-Mail and other
accounts altogether and you'll be able to
| | 01:05 | share a bunch of calendars as well.
| | 01:07 | There is Messenger for online chatting.
| | 01:10 | Movie Maker is now part of Windows Live
Essentials as is the new Photo Gallery
| | 01:15 | for sharing and even editing photos.
| | 01:17 | There is also a blog writing
program called Live Writer.
| | 01:20 | A tool for controlling Internet access
called Family Safety and a whole lot more.
| | 01:26 | Now the nice thing about Windows Live
Essentials is you can pick and choose
| | 01:29 | the programs you want.
| | 01:30 | So you are not wasting your computer's
resources with the programs you never
| | 01:34 | use and because they are not built
right into Windows anymore, they can be
| | 01:38 | updated separately.
| | 01:40 | You won't have to wait for a Windows Update to
get the latest versions of any of these programs.
| | 01:45 | Another consideration that you may not
have to think about or you may have to is
| | 01:50 | drivers for older equipments.
| | 01:52 | Now, if you just can't do without
that old Dot Matrix printer for example,
| | 01:56 | Windows 7 might not
recognize it when you plug it in.
| | 02:00 | And this is going to mean a visit to
the manufacturer's website to locate the
| | 02:03 | driver yourself unless you have it on
the original disk that came with the
| | 02:06 | device, but without that
driver the device simply won't work.
| | 02:10 | Once you have taken care of these final
tasks, you'll be up and running like you
| | 02:14 | were in Windows XP but with all the
benefits that come with the new Windows 7.

ConclusionGoodbye| 00:00 | Well congratulations!
| | 00:01 | You have made it to the end of the
Migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7.
| | 00:05 | You should now be feeling comfortable
and ready to make the migration to Windows
| | 00:09 | 7 if you haven't already.
| | 00:11 | If you are like so many other
Windows XP users who resisted an upgrade to
| | 00:15 | Windows Vista, you are likely
considering a jump to the much more stable
| | 00:19 | and powerful Windows 7.
| | 00:21 | Having completed this training, you are
ready to take it on and your migration
| | 00:25 | from XP to Windows 7 should be a
smooth and almost enjoyable task.
| | 00:30 | This is David Rivers saying thanks for
watching and I hope to see you again in
| | 00:34 | another title from lynda.com.
