One of the greatest pains with a new computer is transferring all the files and settings from the old one. For those with PCs, that involves using Windows Easy File Transfer. However, Microsoft claims, an enhanced version of the program in Windows 7 will make that process much easier, whether upgrading from Vista or XP.
Brandon LeBlanc, Microsoft’s in-house Windows blogger, wrote:
"The first thing people will likely notice about the new version of Windows Easy Transfer is that it has an updated, cleaner, and much simpler UI."
"The new version of Windows Easy Transfer detects all user profiles on a single PC and allows customers to pick and choose which of the user profiles they want to transfer from."
Users can even split a PC, moving some files but leaving others on the old computer.
But there’s still no official word on a commercial release date for the OS.
