Windows XP Migration to Windows 7 RC using MDT Beta 1 - Part 1: The OS Install

In part 1 of this 2-part series, Jeremy Chapman shows how a Windows XP computer with user files and settings can be migrated to Windows 7 RC. If you recall, we did this a few months back in an interview with Jeremy and the whole process using hard-link migration took about 30 minutes, installed the applications we selected and migrated more than 20GB of user state from Windows XP to Windows 7. This video is a screen capture walking through an updated migration to Windows 7 RC. The second part of this video series will show how this was done using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2010 Beta 1.
