O&O Migration Kit for Windows 7
O&O Migration Kit for Windows 7
Whether you're installing Windows 7 on your old computer, or are planning to buy a new one that already comes with Windows 7, you’ll quickly notice that something very important is missing: your personal data, settings, and programs that were available on your computer’s former operating system. You could, of course, transfer each of them one by one, and then reinstall them in a tedious process. No? Then take the easier route: Migration Kit for Windows 7.
Windows 7 only supports In-Place migrations from identical editions (e.g. from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home). Both must be in the same language and both either 32 or 64-Bit. Migration between different editions is not supported (e.g. from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional). The Migration Kit, however, supports a whole range of migration scenarios.
With just a few clicks, you’ll be able to transfer all your data and programs onto a new operating system or computer. This is not only easier and less time-consuming, it's also much more secure because as part of the Migration Kit for Windows 7, you’ll also be getting the multiple award-winning O&O DiskImage 4 Professional Edition. O&O DiskImage will create a complete image of your system prior to migration, so that your familiar IT environment will be available to you whenever you need it.

Everything for the migration
Migration Kit for Windows 7 contains everything that’s needed to make migration as easy as possible. The clearly designed wizard guides you step by step through the migration process from Windows XP/Vista to Windows 7. The migrations can occur on the same as well as between two different computers.
Steps in operating system migration (migration steps)
A migration to a new operating system occurs in a series of steps: data, settings, and applications/games migration. If you’re only interested in taking personal data (e.g., office documents, photos, videos, etc), this can be done using imaging programs such as O&O DiskImage. The migration of settings from the old operating system using Easy Transfer, a component of Microsoft Windows, can be accomplished to only a limited extent. A complete transfer of user accounts and personal settings is only possible with the Migration Kit for Windows 7. Laplink Pcmover, the program contained in the Kit, carries out the last phase of migration: migration of all applications and games*.
Migration on the same or between two different computers
Migration Kit for Windows 7 was designed for users wanting to install the new Windows 7 on his old computer as well as for the customer purchasing a new computer with Windows 7, and who wants to transfer onto it data, applications, and settings from the old one. The Migration Kit for Windows 7 supports all variations of the migration within one or between two systems, and of course, the migration from Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 Beta/RC to the final version of Windows 7.
