    Migration from Win 7 to newer OS


    My Office 367 stopped working on 1 October 2022 and I am told that it is because I am running Windows 7. If I purchase an "upgrade" to Win 10, or 11, will my other non-microsoft applications - such as CAD, Simulation, 3D modelling, etc be migrated over and still run? It is VITAL to me that I retain the functional;ity of these apps - which still are all working fine on WIndows 7. I have seen that there is a "keep existing apps and files" option on install, but I have also seen that this option is now no longer available.

    :)

    OS Migration

    I have a PC that has become very slow at booting up. Sometimes it takes so long to be ready to use, I have to re-boot it again in order for it so be useable at all. It has 2 x 1TB HDDs in it & the one with the OS on it is at about 95% full. So I guess that
    this could be the reason it is so slow to get going.

    • Would it improve it at all if I was to migrate the OS onto an SSD?
    • Is it possible to migrate the OS alone to the SSD & leave all the data on the HDD?
    • If it is, what then happens to the OS on the HDD?
    • Also what happens to access to existing data in Windows folders like Documents, music etc?
    So many questions.

    This is probably in the wrong section but I couldn't find anything appropriate.

    Yes, just use the Vista x64 drivers. Should work.
