As part of making the migration as transparent as it can be we have set up a mechanism that allows saving a few selected settings during the upgrade to the new operating system, these settings are:
• User documents, including those in c: and all sub-folders, and in “My Documents”
o Exceptions: C:Program Files, C:Windows and sub-folders
• Desktop Icons will transfers “as is”. Some icons might not work because the program they point to is not installed
• Hard Drive Partitioning structure will be kept (disk is not being formatted)
• Internet Explorer Favorites
• Printers, Important: local printers will need to be re-installed even though they might be listed
network printers will only work if the print server has updated driver files for windows 7.
• Network drive mapping are kept
