Hi,

Just got my first Vista PC and was wondering the best way to move Users (my
kids) over to vista from XP.

Do I create users first on vista and copy all their dir's over or will the
files and settings transfer wizard be better?

Any resource to help with these kind of questions?

Thanks
Ward

You're one hell of a FOOL to want to move from XP to Vista. Stay put. I
have an XP machine. My kids have Vista. They are constantly having to turn
off their machines off manually and then turn them on again. Their laptops
simply freeze ... once or twice every couple hours. It's maddening.
Inexcusable.

Stay with XP.

Hi,

In order to migrate users from windows XP to Vista, we can consider using
Easy Transfer.
Windows Easy Transfer helps you easily move the files and settings stored
on your PC running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or even Windows Vista to a new
PC running Windows Vista. Windows Easy Transfer will automatically transfer
things like:

1. User accounts
2. Files and folders
3. E-mail messages, settings, and contacts
4. Photos, music, and videos
5. Windows settings
6. Program data files and settings
7. Internet settings

There are several ways that you can use Windows Easy Transfer; choose the
way you prefer to connect your two PCs, choose the data you want to
transfer, and then let Windows Easy Transfer do the work for you.

For more information, please check:

Windows Easy Transfer for Windows XP
