1. I was running Parallels Dektop 7 with Windows XP 2. I upgraded to Mavericks. 3. I upgraded to Parallels Desktop 9 4. I bought Win7, not knowing that i could upgrade my XP 5. I installed Win7 and needed to have my XP contents imported. 6. I installed Easy Transfer on XP and exported both my partitions to Mac desktop: folder about 9Gb 7. I imported said folder into W7, but couldn;t find my active applications 8. I dont want to re-install those applications from the web unless I am sure that they will open all associated files. 9. I'd like to start again, this time instead of exporting from XP -> Mac -> W9, I'd like to do it the other way round: A fresh W7, and then import from XP. Just to see if I get a better result So.... Should I be able to continue without any further fuss just by searching W7 in the right places? I can't find my applications using the normal search engine. or Can I uninstall the current W7 and all the fresh imports, so i can start again as per step 9 above? Having imported the XP folder from my Mac desktop, I'd have thought I could find everything, but no. If I can uninstall my current W7, where can I find the folder containing all the files, including the freshly imported data ( step 7. above) Presumably these files will remain on my mac, whether a frech install finds them or not, and I don;t need them. any help will be appreciated pete
