29.08.2008Windows 7 Migration from Windows XP
Jeff Alexander: Windows 7 has some great tools for migration from previous operating systems. Some that come to mind are Deployment Imaging and
Service Management (DISM), mounting VHDs natively in the operating system and User State Migration. But one of the best features in my opinion and
many of my mates in the community is the ability to boot natively to a VHD. This gives you flexibility in your migration scenarios and is one way you
can preserve your settings from the previous OS installation.
