Vista Settings Transfer Wizard: Does it work?
Hey folks:
I have an XP machine running Sonar 8.02 and XP has become corrupted to the point where I have no option but to install another OS. So I installed Vista 32 Business on a C drive partition and now have a dual-boot machine (audio files on a separate physical drive).
I was about to go through the arduous process of installing Sonar and all of the rest of the third-party stuff and authorizing, etc., at this point I'm talking 8-10 hours of work, including hardware drivers. That sucks.
Then I noticed Vista's Settings Transfer Wizard and it says it can transfer all files and settings from one's old machine (including an XP machine) to Vista.
Of course, I have to install the actual software on the Vista drive first, Sonar, Amplitube, etc., but if I then used the wizard to transfer settings, would it transfer the authorizations, preses, or anything else? Waaay too good to be true, so I assume it won't, especially the authos, which will of course see the Vista drive as different than what they were authorized for. But is it good for anything?
Much appreciated!
Cheers.
