The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Backing up to new Computer

Asked by dbrucesteer in Microsoft Operating Systems, General Computer Systems

Tags: ,

Could an expert explan why if you have a new computer you just can not restore the registry and program files (backed up saying using Genie or True Image) from your old computer.

(These programs work very well I understand if you restoring to the original computer)

My understanding is that the BIOS comes into it which is I presume on firmware and can be basically different for each manufacturer
BIOS links to XP using say Boot and or configsys (I am a old MS_DOS man)
But why cann't a modern backup S/W handle this?

Be interested in the explanation or perhaps a recommendation of a better backup program
