I plan on installing a new system with Windows XP - Home. I also plan on keeping my old system which is running WIN98 until I can migrate everything that is installed on it over to the new XP system. Both systems will be on a home network. Are thereany built in tools in WIN-XP to help with the migration of software applications from the old system to the new system, or will I have to bite the bullet and re-install every program on the new system?

XP comes with a tool to import your settings from another computer.

Since you have your PCs networked, you should have no problem.

You will need to install the wizzard from the XP CD onto your 98 machine, and then run the wizzard to migrate your configuration.

I don't know how well this works, as I haven't tried it myself.
