Method #3Drive Cloning based on a Reference Windows 7 Install • We’ll start with Windows XP SP3 • Clone the hard drive of a Windows 7 machine with applications • Migrate the user data from the Windows XP machine • Apply the cloned hard drive file to the XP SP3 machine • Migrate the Windows XP SP3 user data back on to Windows 7

  13. Method #4Automated migration with applications and drivers • We’ll start with Windows XP SP3 • Populate an environment with Windows 7, applications and drivers • Build automation to do the entire Windows XP to Windows 7 move • Build a bootable USB stick with all the automation and files • Migrate the Windows XP SP3 system to Windows 7
