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.
Tought USMT was not able to migrate from 64bit to 32bit?
Its just the data of my documents folder. That is no problem to migrate.
You can not update the OS from 32bit to 64bit.
So answer USMT is correct.
A. Not upgrading but deploying NEW. USMT does not x64 to x86.
“You need to transfer the contents of each user’s documents folder to the new computer”
So just transferring user’s data, not applications etc. and windows easy transfer is applicable for small number of PCs, this case there are 100 PCs data to be migrated.
WET or USMT cannot transfer from 64 to 32 bit, so the easiest solution here is A
You cannot mix 32 bit and 64 bit architectures using WET or USMT commands. You can simply copy documents from one system to another using an external drive (HD or flash drive)
