windows 7 Lesson 2 Q & Ans




List and explain at least four functions that should be performed prior to beginning an upgrade to Windows 7 from a previous version of Windows.

Possible answers may include:

Run Upgrade Advisor
Check hardware compatibility
Search for updated drivers
Check application compatibility
Check disk space
Ensure computer functionality
Perform a full backup


Explain what two tools are available for migrating user settings and files during a migration to Windows 7. Discuss when it would be appropriate to use each tool.

The Windows Easy Transfer tool is designed to transfer user files and settings on a single computer. It can be used to transfer profile information for multiple users on a single computer but is not designed to transfer information for multiple computers. Windows Easy Transfer can perform a side-by-side migration when migrating data between different computers, or a wipe-and-clean migration when a single computer is being upgraded. The Windows Easy Transfer tool can be used to transfer files and setting from Windows XP or Windows Vista to Windows 7.


The User State Migration Tool 4.0 (USMT) is designed to migrate user profile information for a large group of computers. USMT 4.0 can also be used to transfer from Windows XP or Windows Vista to Windows 7.
