It works just fine, except the install software for XP is already in Win7 so if you get that software from there you are fine. If they are networked it will copy directly over the network without any problems and is very good for transferring files and settings.

There is a tool built into XP for migrating a user from XP to another machine will it work with the same tool in Windows 7? Normally we blow away user profiles and create new but this is a special case and I really hate the idea of being forced to do that if this tool will work as advertised. Hardware for old machine is being retired, new machine is waiting, and there is a 1 TB USB drive sitting next to the machines waiting for data. I have seen this done with XP to Vista but I have not done it myself. I am pulling the Windows 7 AIK tool now if that would work better. I will have to pull about 160 GB of data mostly pic's and various audio files from one machine to another. I know there is IPod files there as well so am I looking at a nightmare with this migration? Thanks for any insight here, Jon ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
