A company has 100 client computers that run Windows XP 64-bit Edition.
You are deploying new computers that run a 32-bit version of Windows 8.
You need to transfer the contents of each user’s Documents folder to the new computer by using the least
amount of administrative effort.
What should you do?
A.
Manually copy the folder content to a USB flash drive. Then paste the files to the new computer.
B.
Use the User State Migration Tool.
C.
Use Windows Easy Transfer.
D.
Back up the folders by running the NTBackup command. Then restore the backup to the new computer.
Explanation:
– Use the User State Migration Tool (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_State_Migration_Tool)
32-bit to 64-bit migrations are supported, but 64-bit to 32-bit are not.
– Windows Easy Transfer (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?
docname=c03477022&cc=at&dlc=en&lc=en)
cannot transfer files between a 64-bit version of Windows and a 32-bit version of Windows. Instead, files need
to be transferred manually using external storage devices.
-NTBackup (http://superuser.com/questions/541122/restoring-a-windows-xp-ntbackup-file-bkf-file-onwindows-8 or http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/restore-a-windows-xp-backup-inwindows-8/)???
– Manually copy the folder content to a USB flash drive. (100 clients!!)
