Digital Home Thoughts: Windows Easy Transfer Helps You Leave No File Behind

"In Windows 7, Windows Easy Transfer lives up to its name. Redesigned to be more reliable and helpful, it takes the hassle out of migrating important files, e-mail, pictures, and settings from your old PC to your new one."

With everyone and their pet meerkat jumping on the Windows 7 bandwagon, either with a new PC or an upgrade, attention should be drawn to Microsoft's Windows Easy Transfer program. Updated to support Windows 7 with some handy new features, Windows Easy Transfer lets you migrate your data from one PC to another. Great if you've just bought a new system to replace or aging dinosaur. Being the guy who usually has to set up new computers for friends and family, I have had to spend countless hours migrating ungodly amounts of stuff from one computer to another. While I will not claim that this catches every possible bit of data you want to save, it does most of it, leaving you to just watch out for those random stragglers. So if you're doing the Windows 7 Upgrade/Setup Party this weekend, save some time and try this out.
