Using Windows Easy Transfer for Windows 7

[Nathan Sokalski]

I recently purchased a new machine with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit, and need
to run Windows Easy Transfer on my old 32 Bit XP machine. A book I have
tells me to use the \Support\Migwiz\Migsetup.exe file from the installation
DVD. I have found the file on the DVD, but XP obviously won't let me run it
because it is 64 Bit. What can I do, if anything? Thanks.

Have you tried Windows XP's "Files and systems Transfer Wizard"? You
can get this from the "Accessories, systems Tools node in Start item.

Windows 7 is what the OP said and it is not XP as you answered

Monkey b@stard,

This is what he said:

" ........ and need to run Windows Easy Transfer on my old 32 Bit XP
machine"

Now is that clear? How is your wife doing these days? Is she still in
jiggy jiggy for money?

This is probably what you want:

Windows Easy Transfer for transferring from Windows XP (32 bit) to Windows 7
