New SSD, New Win 7 Install with twist
I have a new SSD (120 GB Sandisk Extreme) and a new OEM copy of Win 7 Ult 64-bit. My rig has 4x 1TB in RAID-10 running XP. I've got a lot of programs and 4 user accounts I don't want to build from scratch.
Where I want to end up is with Win 7 on the new SSD with all user accounts, files/folders, prefs, favs etc. intact (migrated, copied, whatever). I think I even want to keep XP on the RAID-10 volume to run those old troublesome games/programs. I've never done a dual-boot, but I figure I could just switch the boot sequence in the BIOS at startup if I ever need XP.
I've looked at Paragon Migrate, Windows Easy Transfer, partition/align/image, etc., but I'm not sure which is best or will even work in my case.
I did build my rig and a couple others, so I got some skills, but I'm no IT genius.
Please guide me in the right direction. Thanks.
