Didn't completely answer your questions. .......
After installing, RESTORE your back-up from you flashdrive.

Hi, Sam.

Yep! And by "my backup", I hope you mean only your QDF (and related data
files). No need to transfer your Quicken program, of course; just install
Q2010 on your new PC. Then you can have Q2010 either Open or Restore that
data file. Q2010 will want to Convert your 09 file to its 10 format when
you first load it, but will save a copy in a new Q09Files folder - just as
for prior yearly updates. When you first manually Backup your new file, be
sure that you point it to the new Destination FOLDER of your choice.

Note that Q2010 has a new format for Backup, and that Intuit already revised
that backup system in Release R 3. The main difference is that the QDF file
is now much bigger because it includes all the data formerly kept in the QEL
and other related data files.

Just as an aside. from what I'm checking Windows for Dummies 7, it appears
that W7 comes with many problems for like printers etc.. I happen to use
Window Washer and they have said it's not compatible for W7. Just wondering
if you bought the "magic" line that runs from USB old pc to USB new pc and
if so what was it's name and how did it work. Ah computers!!

Hi, Sam.

No, I have only ONE PC. But it has several HDDs with lots of room
available, so my "old" computer and my "new" computer are the same machine.
When I updated from the beta to the final Win7, I just ran WET (Windows Easy
Transfer) on the "old" computer first and stored the output onto a "neutral"
partition. Then I booted into the "new" Win7 and ran WET again, retrieving
the data from that partition. No "magic" cable, no thumb drive, no network,
no nothing but my one computer. ;<)

A few years ago I tried to transfer some data to a relative's computer using
the Belkin USB cable (I forgot its name). It was terribly slow, but that
was with the old USB 1.0, not the current 2.0, which is many times faster.

I haven't read Win7 for Dummies, but I've heard fewer complaints about
compatibility problems - with printers or anything else - than with Vista.
The last such problem I had was with Windows 2000 nearly 10 years ago. It
took HP 2 years to update their drivers for my HP OfficeJet G55, and by then
I had learned to just use the default drivers in Win2K. That printer
effortlessly made the transition to WinXP, then to Vista and now to Win7.

If you mention the make and model of your printer(s), someone here may
recognize it and have some specific advice.

I am about to migrate from XP to Win7 Home Premium 64bit. This requires
reformatting and reinstalling all software. Also will be going from Qkn07
Premium to Qkn2010 Deluxe. Santa gave software this year.

My questions are:

(1) Should I install Qkn10 on the existing XP, then backup data, then use
that data after migration? Or, is it sufficient to backup the current Qkn07
data and restore with Qkn10 after the migration?

(2) Anything else I should do as part of this? What the heck does
supervalidation do, anyway?

(3) I currently use Outlook Express to read newsgroups. Win7 no longer
provides it. What programs should I consider for nntp?
