Acronis’ seven-step approach can make migration to Windows 7 a lot safer

Windows Vista users contemplating an upgrade to Windows 7 will be able to follow a relatively simple path because most applications are left untouched by the procedure. But Windows XP users face a riskier and more complicated process. Moving from Windows XP to Windows 7 requires a ‘clean install’, which means all applications, data, and settings must be rebuilt from scratch after the new operating system is up and running. Whether you’re running Vista or XP, you’ll lower your risk and reduce the time required to complete the changeover if you first back up your current system, settings, and data with disk imaging software. The newly released Acronis® True Image Home 2010 disk imaging software can help your migration go smoothly and eliminate the fear many customers have of losing data or a working system. If you encounter a problem, you can instantly revert back to the previous operating system and keep working until you solve it.
