Question of the Week
|
|
Can I use Disk2vhd to upgrade from XP to Windows 7?
I was wondering if Disk2vhd could be used to upgrade a desktop
machine. I have a desktop running Windows XP that I need to
upgrade to Window 7, and my thinking is that I could use
Disk2vhd to create a .vhd file of the existing XP on an external
drive. I could then wipe the drive and install Win7 64 bit, and
then import the XP vhd as a virtual machine running under Win7.
Does this seem logical? Are there any gotchas I should be aware
of? -- borysjn

Great Writer
There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his
desire to become a great writer.
When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff
that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react
to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them
scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.
