CA Technologies release free XP migration tool

May 22, 2014

Companies that want to migrate large numbers of users from Windows XP, which Microsoft stopped supporting last month, now have some help with a free tool from CA Technologies. The CA Desktop Migration Manager can copy a user’s files, browser bookmarks, desktop settings and other pertinent information to network file storage, allowing the administrator to upgrade the laptop or desktop computer to a new version of Windows or move the user to a new Windows computer altogether. The software can move the data and settings either to a new machine or back to the original machine once the upgrade is completed. The product also works with CA Client Automation, which is IT management software for administrators. When used together, the two products can migrate an XP user to a newer version of Windows without any intervention on the part of the administrator or user.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
