Transfer the Files and Settings from XP to Vista (Same Domain)


Before you start the transfer, you must install Microsoft Office and other programs in the new Vista computer.

New Vista Machine: Log on as Administrator

All Programs--Accessories--System tools--Windows Easy Transfer wizard

Let the Windows Easy Transfer wizard to copy its migwiz program to a Flash Drive or network drive.

From Old XP machine, run the migwiz program on a Flash Drive or Network drive.

The process can transfer all user accounts and their settings. It is a big improvement from XP's Files and Settings transfer wizard.
