This solution is supported on Windows XP-based and Windows Vista-based computers.

CD and DVD. Windows Easy Transfer can use a computer's CD or DVD burner to transfer user data. This is a great solution if you are moving only a small amount of data that can fit onto one disc.

To transfers your programs and program settings from your Windows XP-based PC to your new Windows Vista based-PC. You can download Windows Easy Transfer Companion from Microsoft.
