SCENARIO

A user calls the help desk for assistance because she is running two computers, one with Windows 7 and one with Windows Vista. She originally requested Windows 7 on her new computer to test the new operating system herself, but now her office mates, who share the computers, are interested in trying Windows 7 as well. Your user wants to transfer the other users’ accounts and documents from Windows Vista to Windows 7 so that they can each log on using their own names. You explain to her that she can use the Windows Easy Transfer utility to do this.
