RE: Windows Easy Transfer restore to a partially restored Ultimate sys

Hi,

U have two option when migration account data to the new system using
Windows Easy Transfer:

1 Migrate a user account on the original computer to a newly created user
account on the destination computer.

2. Migrate a user account on the original compurer to an existing local
account on the destination computer.

For example, i u choose the second option, all of the original computer user
account files and settings will be added to the account files and setting of
the specified user on the destination computer.
