Transferring from XP to Win 7

I have Windows 7 for Dummies in front of me. It gives a series of steps for
transferring my files and settings from my old Windows XP computer to my new
Windows 7 computer.

First I'm going to copy the Windows 7 Easy Transfer program to my old
computer with a Flash drive. Then I'm going to connect the old and the new
with an Easy Transfer USB cable. (I just got this at Micro Center for $19.)

But now I'm asked to do tasks that seem to require two monitors. I have to
click on options from both computers as far as I can tell from the book.

My question: Will I need two monitors to do the transfer job correctly?

If you are using the cable, you have to control both computers and will need
either a KVM switch or two monitors, keyboards and mice.
If you use the easy transfer program with an external disc drive then only
one computer needs to be running at a time.

Look to see if your monitor have two connectors. If you see two, then
your monitor have two channels. If it have, you can switch channels
by the menu. Also looking at the menu can tell you.
Do you see two channels - normally a small picture of a switch.
And the expression web question - none ?.

You are asking this in an expression web newsgroup, not a Windows 7 newsgroup.

He made the mistake of switching to Windows 7.
He should have went to Windows XP Ultimate Edition.

That would be difficult - Windows XP Ultimate Edition does not exist.

You seem have wasted $$$ on a product which never existed. Where did
you buy "Windows XP Ultimate Edition from"? Microsoft never released
it but a one time pirate belonging to violent mafia gang was
distributing it downtown LA. Is it still running on your system? You
better go and check it out with Mr Christ.

Of course Microsoft never released it... it's open-source, and costs
$0.
But what would I know? I've only done computer system support for a
living, since before the Internet had pictures. Now go drink your
juice,
Junior, and get ready to get on the school bus.

And by the way... "Mr Christ" gave his life for you... show more
respect.
