[QUOTE="gemini, post: 869958, member: 25067"] Hi, I'm looking for advise for moving from XP to Win 7 leaving behind everything except "unwatched movies". This will happen on the same harddrive in the same PC. I did some search on the forum, but did not find a similar case. If I missed something, please help with the link to other posts. Thanks.
