With prices currently starting at $29.99 this is a significant discount for people still looking to upgrade Windows XP systems to Windows 7. “We offer the fastest and easiest method to upgrade existing hardware from XP to Windows 7,” said Laplink CEO Thomas Koll. “And now we are removing any cost barrier.” With PCmover, the upgrade process does not require external media, no programs need to be reinstalled after the upgrade and the PC’s “personality” remains intact. “Windows XP will not be supported indefinitely by Microsoft,” continued Koll. “Businesses will need to deploy Windows 7 and Laplink has a much-needed solution.” The software doesn’t actually perform the Windows 7 installation for you, you still need to do this by installing Windows 7 over the top of your current copy of XP. AT the installation screen DO NOT choose Upgrade . Instead choose the Custom (Advanced) option. Then install Windows 7 onto the same hard disk or partition where Windows XP resides without formatting the disk. The installer will detect your old copy of Windows and move it, and all your files to a Windows.old folder
