For programs, you will have to reinstall them on the Vista computer and most of them probably won't work if they were made for Me or 98. Hell, if they were made for XP, they may not work. Alias
Guest Corday Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 RE: Windows ME to Windows Vista You can use any portable storage devise you have. Probably something that works with USB (1.1 or 2.0 doesn't matter). -- Corday "Trish" wrote: > purchased a new computer with Vista.

Guest 913fred Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 RE: Windows ME to Windows Vista Have you posted this question in the Vista forum? I thought Vista had a feature to bring over software from your old computer. "Corday" wrote: > You can use any portable storage devise you have.

Guest dlsayremn Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 RE: Windows ME to Windows Vista Trish, I never used it, but Vista has a function called Windows Easy Transfer. Supposed to be able to transfer Files and Folders, E-mail Settings, Program Settings, etc.: using cable, CD/DVD's, or USB sticks. Do search in Help and Support for Easy Transfer. Like Corday said you would probably want to check Vista support group first to see if the have suggestions. DLSayre "Trish" wrote: > purchased a new computer with Vista.

Guest dlsayremn Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 RE: Windows ME to Windows Vista Trish, just did quick look in Vista group. Seems Easy Transfer only works with XP.
