You will need your installation disks/files to reinstall your programs regardless of what you do or do not backup.

I'm trying to move my files from one version of Windows 7 to another version of Windows 7 (don't ask - long story).
My old files are in Windows.old. I have done all of the steps listed in the tutorial (and always get 'the system can not find the file specified' after each step).
When I did step 9 it couldn't find the drive. I chose another one and it seemed to work.
Restarted my computer but nothing had changed. Its as if I had done nothing. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Audrey

They HAVE to be reinstalled, just like other programs.

This can only restore data.
