Hello members,

I got Windows Vista Home Premium and thinking to upgrade to Windows 7 but I heard in Windows 7 there is no Windows Movie Maker and Windows Mail. If I get Windows 7 then how will I use Windows Movie Maker and Windows Mail?

If there is anyone who had upgraded vista to windows 7 or knew about it please share knowledge and oblige.

Thank you

Shawn Further to your reply,

I read tutorial and found very useful information. Just got some question about
Windows mail procedure.

According to Tutorial:
Take ownership shortcut (What is this thing) a utility?:cool:
1.Download the Take ownership shortcut
2. Go to your Programs folder and Take Ownership of the Windows Mail Folder.
3. Make a copy of the folder in case something goes wrong.
4. Go to the same folder in Vista and copy it.
5. Now Delete the original folder and replace with the Vista ones.
6. Open the Windows Mail folder and right click on the WinMail.exe and create a shortcut.
7. Rename the shortcut to Windows Mail and the Pin it to the Start Menu or the Taskbar.
8. Start Windows Mail and Enjoy!

I need to clarify above Step No.3,4 and 5,
3. Make a copy of the folder in case something goes wrong.
COPY IT WHERE any where is ok?
4. Go to the same folder in Vista and copy it.
Just copy this folder?
5. Now Delete the original folder and replace with the Vista ones.
Original folder is Vista folder right? and why to delete.

If I know where to copy then I think this 5th step can be clear.

I shall be thankful to you if you could please put some light on the above confusion.

Thank you

PS* I wonder from wher you people learn all these:confused:

Hello Ari,

The two tutorials will help show you how to add Windows Movie Maker and Windows Mail to Windows 7.

Windows Movie Maker 6.0 - Install on Windows 7 - Windows 7 Forums

and

(See related links as well) Windows Mail - Windows 7 Forums

However, you would be better off with installing Windows Live Mail or some other email client instead.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

It is a registry entry to add "Take Ownership" to the context menu to allow you to take ownership of the selected file or folder that you use it on with your account. Without doing this you would not be able to copy the files to that location.

3. You can copy it anywhere on your hard drive, DVD, or a USB key since it is just for backup purposes.

4. You would copy and save the one in Vista somewhere as well so that you can copy it into Windows 7 in step 5.

5. This is in Windows 7. You would delete the folder in Windows 7 and copy the one from step 4 here now.


Hope this helps,
Shawn
