W
hen you start the files and settings restore
process, you have to specify if your old
computer has the Windows Easy Transfer
program installed on it. If you have a different version
of the Windows Easy Transfer program on your old
computer, such as the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard
that came with Windows XP, SP2, you must update it to
the current one. That is why Windows Vista includes the
program on the Install Windows dialog box.
If you do not have Windows Easy Transfer on your
old computer, you can use the Windows Vista
Installation disc, but you can also create copies of the
program onto different media and then install
Windows Easy Transfer on your old computer. For
instance, you can create a CD or DVD of the program
if you have a CD or DVD burner on your new
computer — most new computers have at least a
CD-R or CD-RW drive for burning CDs. Alternatively,
you can use a USB flash drive to make a copy of the
Easy Windows Transfer program. Plug in the device,
copy the program over to the USB drive, insert the
USB drive into your old computer, and install the
program from there.
