I was not totally happy with the easy transfer. Yes it did transfer over
programs no problem (apart from antivirus) but it made a hash of
transferring over my emails unfortunately and also failed to transfer over
my email account details properly.
Fortunately I was not relying on it and had made other backup arrangements,
however someone may have a problem who is relying it on working. Funny
thing is if anything I expected to fail was the transfer of whole program
installs, but all that was okay, it was only the email that was the issue. |
