You need to back up your data. If you use Windows Easy Transfer, it may
transfer your messages to Windows Live Mail. Problem with that is that you
aren't going to be able to do that if you are upgrading an existing computer
instead of going to a new one. So, you can get the messages over but you
will probably have to create an export file and then import it into WLM.
You can't upgrade from XP to Windows 7. You need to do a clean
installation, or at least that is the heavily recommended way.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Questions Regarding migration from XP to Windows 7
Hello everyone.
I am finally going to join the Windows 7 community but have several
questions about converting from XP.
I am considering using Image for Windows to be sure everything gets backed
up but I don't want to restore everything only to find XP has been put
back on my system.
I have many folders within Outlook express and don't want to lose these
e-mails. Will I be able to open them with Windows Live mail?
Also, do I have to reformat my hard drive before putting Windows 7 on it
or can I install it over XP?
Finally, I am currently using Jaws 11. Will this work with Windows 7 or do
I have to upgrade to a higher version of Jaws?
All suggestions are appreciated as I have never done this before without
sighted assistance and I'm just a little nervous about doing this.
Thanks in advance.
Pete
