Hi,
I used it...to upgrade from win xp (english) to win7 Ultimate (in Dutch).
I had about 300GB of personal files (pictures, music, mail) on the old machine.
I started easy transfer to transfer to a USB2 2TB external disk.....it took a while to calculate what to transfer and then backing it up took even longer....also the initial time shown kept increasing.
SO i stopped easy transfer and manually moved the 'easy stuff' (like the music and pictures) to the external disk.
Then i had about 50GB left to backup with easy transfer; this went fairly well (albeit still slow).
So finally the backup was ready and in followed the instructions to do the clean install.
So far so good; the belgian azerty keyboard layout was properly recognised; my screen didn't end up in some ridiculous 640x480 VGA resolution, the logitech wireless mouse and keyboard were recognised.
All good!
Now on to restoring my data....the process is easy enough and restoring it takes at least as much time as backing it up...
BUt at the end of the process i got a message saying that my data was restored but my settings couldn't be restored because the new OS is in a different language (which is the case).
To my surprise stuff like my printer etc were properly installed, the machine could connect easily to internet.
It even mapped the data properly from the "administrator" account on the old machine to the "my name" account on the new machine.
BUT all my mails in Thunderbird are gone!
I did get new mails in as soon as i connected.....but i need to find those old mails back!
They are normally stored in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\XXXXXXXX.default\Mail\
BUt i can't find that (yet in Win7).
I have some googling to do and hopefully i can recover the data.....
Best regards
Johan
