1161821 2010-12-15 06:11:00 Hi all
my partner, a teacher is having to move to W7.
She asked me to backup her files which, as per school's request, are all on the C drive.
I have never used Vista.
Is there anything standard on the system so I could backup? Or, is there a transfer files setup?
Thanks
edit: I do have a spare usb hdd free for this

Data can be transferred, programs need reinstalling.

Just make a list so you dont forget anything, email, address book, fav's documents, pictures etc

She takes the laptop to school and someone does install W7. I believe they wipe and install.
When they moved from xp she had lost all her email on the machine(except all was on gmail). Though it was a great pain reestablishing all again.
