After poor networkperformance <2kb/s with my internetconnection I had to turn autotuning off.

Turn autotuning off

This weekend I updated my windows XP to Windows 7 Enterprise or should I say "migrated" ?
There's no updatepath from xp to 7 so I tried the easy transfer tool (ett).

The ett copied about 32GB of data from XP into a migration file and back to windows 7.
This saved my domain account and all my data from this account. All the cool stuff (Thunderbird, Firefox) have lost the my profiles and I have to restore them manually.
Windows 7 kept the filepermissions from XP. So without my domain account, lots of stuff wouldn't run anymore.

Most of my software is now useless and I have to install almost everything from scratch. Except Lotus Notes.

All my older relases R5, R6 and R7 run. Even my Notes 8.5 FP1 runs without problems. I can even use Windows 7 to work again :-)

First impression: faster than expected.

I'm Preparing my notebook for windows 7. I plan to uprade this weekend.
1. remove all unnecessary stuff.
2. make a backup image
3. upgrade from windows xp to windows 7

Hope my Lenovo T61P will survive, or at least let me restore the backup....

Today I installed a Windows 7 on my VMWare Server.

Notes 8.5 installed and started without errors.
