| | Win XP software copied to Windows 7 I have purchased a Win 7 HP laptop 64bit and I have copied the Win XP program files directories into Win 7 'Program Files (x86) but the majority won't run. Is there a way to do this without having to reinstall the programs. Many thanks Bade |

| | When you go from XP to 7, you have to reinstall the programs. Heck, when I go from any OS to another, I have to reinstall, even when copying the program files. |

Many thanks Bade There's a third-party solution that claims to be able to move software: Laplink® Software - PCmover - Automatically move PC applications to a new computer It's supposed to handle going from a 32 bit system to a 64 bit one. I have no experience with it. Seems a little too good to be true, but there are some fairly positive reviews of it on the Web. |
