No Joke Windows 2000 To Windows 7 Migration Tool Released Groovydownload

Ok. Apparently there actually ARE Corporations?  People? out there still running Windows 2000, because this week Microsoft released a new script to help migrate users and their data from Windows 2000 to Windows 7. It’s called the w2KMigUser script.  Wow. Upgrade? Really?  How do you expect to run Windows 7 on a 7-to-10-year-old machine?  Now granted, perhaps the people Microsoft wrote this ‘upgrade’ for are using new(er) machines which can handle Windows 7. However until recently corporate policy required them to run the legacy grandpa Windows 2000?   Who knows.   ANYWAY, the Migration tool is easy to use and just requires a few steps of preparation according to the documentation.  Included among the downloadable files is a thirteen-page instruction PDF that outlines the exact steps which need to be performed to start the process.  Essentially all the script does is backup Windows 2000 User profiles and then restore them into Windows 7 to create new but identical folders and files on the updated OS.

  Hopefully, with this groovy tool, crusty organizations out there will be able to make the transition a little smoother. Download the W2KMigUser System Migration Tool [via Microsoftpost.com]   Does your organization still use Windows 2000?  We’d LOVE  to hear about it!  ;) XP is like the theory of evolution: it’s dead and it’s time people realized it and upgraded. Upgrade to windows 7 and slam XP into a VM if you can’t live without it. With win7 and 8GB of RAM, it shouldn’t be a problem. :) Alas, it is time to let a couple of them go, due to hardware needs, but the tool is no longer available. Woe is me. Today is 09 August 2018!
