Copy the old harddisc to new PC (partition magic or such to make exact

copy). Let new PC boot and windows will update the motherboard devices.

If it can't do that, "repair" install with XP disc. After it boots to

XP, upgrade to windows 7 from XP (put W7 install disc to CD while XP

runs).



This way all the registry entries and files stay the same.



Has worked fine on W2000-XP. I haven't yet had any reason for W7.

Since this a new Windows 7 PC, I do have the Windows 7 install disc, and I do have a cloned Hard Drive of the old XP machine, so I guess I could give it a try, just not sure the old XP OS will support the new 64 bit Quad core board for boot up. Since I've used the cloned drive to move from one XP machine to another the last time I upgraded PC's maybe that could work.
