Saw that it's mentioned there are guides on how to move a HD full of apps + OS (Vista 64bit home premium) to a new rig with new MOBO + CPU +GPU, etc.
Any such guides in tomshardware.com forums?
A buddy says that unlike with Apple Os, with Windows Vista & 7 it's not even possible; can move data + Vista--but no apps. All apps must be reinstalled.
So what's the truth on this?
I suppose I should just bite the bullet and upgrade to 7. It's just that reinstalling all my apps will take days.
