    Transferring Apps from XP to Win 7
    http://forums.windowsforum.org/index.php?showtopic

    I'm setting up my No.1 daughter with a new Win 7 PC, and am in the process of transferring her XP stuff to the new PC. Things have gone well, so far. Have been using an 80 GB USB H/D and have successfully transferred her Thunderbird and
    Firefox e-mails, addressbook, bookmarks etc. using Mozbak. Next stage is to set up a non-administrator account for the G'son. How can I trasfer his applications and games over as I don't know where the install devices are - family breakup amd I don't want to go begging. So any help here would be gratefully appreciated.

    Have come to my senses and realised I'm not doing the Great North Run any more. An age related decision!

    Unfortunately, Applications and Games will have to be reinstalled. Hopefully your G'son still has the Install Disks/CD's available.

    Most of the time you install it normally, as you would in XP. Otherwise, you can right click on the installer and click "Install or Run in XP Mode" and it will do so...
