Backup any data you have.
Install Windows 7 Pro as new installation and wipe out current partition. "McGrath" wrote in message ... It's time to get rid of Win 7 Beta. What's the best way to migrate from Win 7 beta RC to Win 7 Pro? Thanks for any advice. Jdr |

What's the best way to migrate from Win 7 beta RC to Win 7 Pro?
Said it backwards.
Wipe out current partition during the install of Windows 7 Pro, then proceed with "new installation". This is the best way. "Bill Yanaire, ESQ" wrote in message ... Backup any data you have.

I had created a DVD from the original .iso and ImgBurn was able to extract the boot image into an .ima file and save it. Presumably, you could just extract the boot image from your installation disk. I then told ImgBurn to create a DVD from the folder. The Advanced tab has the option to create a bootable disk and has a place for specifying the .ima file. The Advanced tab is also where you can extract the boot image and save it as an .ima. It was all trial and error, but it worked. |

Would coping the "Libraries" which contain Documents, Pictures, Music and Video from drive C:\ to drive E:\ - be sufficient, then I could copy these Folders "Documents, Pictures, Music and Video" - separately to a newly and fresh installed Windows 7 Pro ? |

I imagine that would get some stuff, but... Click the start button and type-in the word "transfer." At least on mine, there is a wizard which will offer to transfer you files, asking if this is your old or new computer. I imagine that would work, but always have a backup. Macrium Reflect Free works well to save an image of your disk which you can restore at will. http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.asp |

Macrium Reflect Free works well to save an image of your disk which you can restore at will. http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.asp Providing you have an old and a new computer. Matter is more complex if you have only one computer and only two hard drives. An old C:\ must become a new C:\. What you left with is just drive D:\ to do all your backup. But it's already been done. Almost with no problems.. Thanks to ALL for your contribution. |
