Hi all, how are you?
I'm running XP version 5.1 SP 3. I love it but know it is outdated. I woudl liek to geet newer more powerful computer soon, cause mine's 9 years old and probably getting on a bit.
I know there is a way I can ghost my current XP and all its loaded programs onto an external drive and when I get my new computer put it back on a partition on the new computer and run it like I am running my XP now, all the programs installed are there etc.
Now I have heard people saying it can be done but have no idea how. Is there a freeware program I can use? Or can I just copy all my C drive onto a new partition in the new computer and run it as XP? all my data files, cept for My Documents etc, are on a different drive, that is copied onto an external drive anyway for backups. but how do I copy my OS and currently installed programs over to the new computer please?
Many thanks
Cheers
Ed
