Hi NBAPwns13
If you do a windows easy transfer it will transfer all of your documents and videos, it however will not transfer programs, you will need to install them yourself. -Iroro |

Oh so you can't like transfer Skype and such? How about drivers and stuff for your computer? Like audio headsets drivers etc..

Drivers will be transferred, just not User Interface Programs.

No need for windows easy transfer, you can just copy & paste data from the Windows 7 partition to the Windows 8 partition.

If he\she is running two physical machines he\she will be unable to complete your suggestion, even if the user is running the one physical machine it makes for a messy drawn out job. |

In the unlikely event that it does not have it you can acquire the program from the following link: Windows Easy Transfer - Microsoft Windows |

May I suggest a third partition?
Put all your data, photos, documents, videos, whatever into a new partition where you store work items only. that way you have one centralized copy and changes made in one OS will appear in the other. For some programs you may copy-paste them if they're portable, otherwise a full reinstall of them is better. For drivers, the only safe option is a normal install. |
