Datasheet

I am trying to run the Windows Easy
Transfer program on Windows Me. Why
will it not appear?
Windows Vista assumes that you have
Windows XP on your computer, not an
earlier version. Therefore when you attempt
to run the Install Windows program on
non-XP machines, you will error out. Since
Windows Easy Transfer is part of the
Windows Vista Install Windows package,
you will not be able to use the Windows
Easy Transfer program on older versions of
Windows either. It is not recommended
that you copy settings from older versions
of Windows to Windows Vista.
Do I have to use Windows Easy Transfer?
No, in fact if you want to transfer files to
your new computer, and not settings, your
best bet is to copy the files you want to
move to your new computer onto
removable media. Then when you get
Windows Vista installed, insert or connect
the removable media to your new
computer and copy your files to your new
hard drive. Examples of removable media
include external hard drives, flash drives,
CD-R, and DVD-R.
The Do you have a Windows Easy Transfer
key screen appears.
