    I have a new desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium. My old desktop is a Vista Home premium and both systems are 64 bit. I bought a program called Laplink PC mover and I want to move all my programs and files from the Vista system to the Win 7 system. Can I do this? Thanks

    From what I have seen on other message boards, this Laplink and others like it are snake oil.
    Some programs that work on Vista, may or may not work in 7. If you have the programs on a disc, just install them on 7 and move the data from Vista to 7 with a thumb drive or CD/DVD.
