Use one of the following migration tools:
1. Windows Easy Transfer (WET)
2. User state Migration Tool (USMT) 4.0

When planning your migration, it is important to identify which components you need to migrate to
the new operating system platform. These components may include:
1. User accounts. Computer workstations may have setting related to both domain and local user accounts.
   you must detarmine if you need to migrate local user accounts.
2. Application setting. you must determine and locate the application setting that you want to migrate.
   You can acquire this information when are testing the new application for compatibility with the new
   operation system.


The tool that can be used for migration.
1. ScanState.exe: The ScanState tool scans the source computer, collects the files and settings,
   and then creates a store.
2. LosdState.exe: The Loadstate tool migrates the files and setting, one at a time, from the store
   to a temporary location on the destination computer.
3. Migration.xml file: The .xml files that the USMT users for migration are the MigApp.xml,
   MigUser.xml,or MigDocs.xml, and any custom .xml files that you create.

The list of components of User State Migration Tool (USMT).

    . Has the following advantages:

       + Ensures that the My Documents folder content is backed up.
       + Minimizes the size of roaming profiles.
2. Can have problems when:
   . A user is assigned a new computer.
   . You disable folder redirection by accident.
