upgrading to new computer(s)
at my company we are upgrading computers from windows xp to windows 7.
each xp Pc has its own software the user uses an printers as well. is there an easy way to transfer all the programs to the new windows 7 pc to prevent excessive time in finding setup files an installing programs one at a time?
in summary I need all programs that currently function on xp to function on windows 7.
ur thoughts please!!!!

So you're saying the company didn't keep the original media/downloads in a common place to make them easy to find if/when the computer fails? Because rather than looking to an upgrade (as opposed to a clean install), you should be TESTING all the software you want to use, means means installing it on another Win7 system for testing. Verifying that it runs at all and that it works under 64 bit Windows (unless you're going with 32 bit). And at the end of the day, if a program has a weird problem under Windows 7 after being "moved", how are you going to know if it's the program not being properly installed or it's because of an incompatibility with 7? Using tools like PC Mover is a short cut that tends to INCREASE time in the long run. Best of luck.
