Hi, When I do this, I'm actually just told it was unable to migrate even after it says it's done moving the files. SO I guess I'm having the same issue. There is probably a reason for that, though. Some WIndows activations are based on hardware, meaning that they won't work anywhere else. At least, that's what I was told when I cared to find out.
