Hi! I'm new to the forums here, so hello all
Here is my dilemma. I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64x from my Vista 64x, but I don't know what will happen if I try to restore my system backup from Vista inside of 7. Will I be able to recover the files in the different OS? Intuition tells me yes, but I want to double check before I go ahead with this.
ALSO, as far as I know, Vista doesn't backup the installed programs on my computer in it's backup feature (it only saves media files and some other system settings as far as I know). Am I correct in assuming this? If this is the case, is there any program I can use that would make a full image/backup of my programs, that could later be recovered from within 7? Intuition tells me no one this one, but I figure it's worth a shot in the dark.
