Any way to completely migrate installed programs on Vista to Windows 7?

Windows Easy Transfer can transfer program settings. You still need to reinstall the programs. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/transferring-files-and-settings-frequently-asked-questions Not sure how well it does, so I recommend you image new win7 installation first.

Microcenter SSD

Do you actually see any difference in daily use? 830 is already one of the fastest ssd around. My crucial m4, not known to be one of the fastest, still boots under 10s and apps open instantaneously. What's faster than instantanious? :cool:

Should I buy old generation intel 320 ssd?

My crucial m4 still running quick and trouble free after 2 years. Computer boots under 10s and apps open instantaneously. Heard good things about kingston v300, cheaper than m4.

How many of you will download Windows 8 but not install right away?

I'm still racking my brain whether to buy a copy at the cheap price, in case I get another pc in the future, htpc maybe. But reading all the crap about post-pc world, you'd think we'll never buy another desktop pc ever again :rolleyes:.

How long will Windows 7 be available to buy?

If you are using win7, there is no reason to upgrade. Just wait for win9 or later. If you are still using xp, remember support ends next year. You may as well take advantage of promotion period before it price bumped up to 199 in feb.

How to clone W7 - A Definitive Solution

I used acronis 2011 rescue disk to clone win7 from hd to ssd. What jheorghe said is absolutely right, a backup is not a backup unless you restore it once. A quick way to test this is to restore to a virtual machine, like vmware or free virtualbox. In fact, my old winxp machine is running in a...

Backup Medium Selection

All medium die, sooner or later. If you value your data, make at least 2 backups, one preferably off-site. To save cost, what you can do is use one hd as primary backup. For more important data like financial data, make 2nd backup to cheaper usb drive. I'd also use dropbox or similar to...

ERROR: "Display driver stopped responding..."

Good for you. I reinstalled oem driver that came with the mb, and black screen still appears but less frequently than before, and mostly goes away after an hour or so. I don't play games so I really don't want to install a graphics card if I don't have to.

I gave Windows 8 (consumer preview) 3 months, going back to 7

It makes me wonder if there are 2 teams taking turns creating next version of Windows: win95/98 - me - xp - vista - win7 - win8 - win9 See the pattern? Surely next version to upgrade is win9. However, win7 works so well I don't plan to upgrade anytime soon. Extended support now in 2020.

why do corporations comply with China's demands?

What a load of tosh! Apple runs a sweatshop in China to produce iphones. They continue to sell in the millions. Funny thing is even the chinese themselves lust after Apple products, because they view Apple as a premium brand.

Getting Ready to go SSD

After migrating to ssd, I think all you need to do is to rerun Windows Experience Index to make sure Windows recognises it is now running on a ssd, if it has not already done so. In which case, Windows will tweak itself to disable defrag, etc.

Windows 7 Hanging - Not sure if its hardware related

You said Avast! and Ad-aware Antispyware took the most time. Uninstall both of them and see if it makes a difference. Even better, work from a plain vanilla installation. See if you experience same slowdown before any 3rd party software is installed?
