Consumers feel happiness when they get stuff at free of cost. Now Countdown<\/strong> starts with the announcement of Windows 10 release date which is July 29, 2015<\/strong>. Customers of previous versions of Upcoming Windows 10<\/strong> are offered to upgrade their Operating System with new one platform. This announcement can be seen as a relief for small and mid-level business owners. However, Microsoft has put other terms & condition that move from older operating to Windows 10 is limited<\/strong> to only Windows 7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to statistics<\/strong>, market share of Windows OS<\/strong> corresponding different versions<\/strong>, mentioned below:<\/p>\n

The above graph shows that Windows 7<\/strong> faces loss of 0.6% in May but still hold top position in market share. It is holding a 57%<\/strong> market of Windows OS Installed on PC Worldwide. This graph reflects the strategy of Microsoft Inc. towards OS migration. That\u2019s why, Windows 7 users are allowed to upgrade<\/strong> into Windows 10.<\/p>\n

Problem concern is associated with customers whose business is relying on Windows XP PC. The report reveals that Windows XP<\/strong> is second<\/strong> majoring on Windows PC whose share is nearby 14.6%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Is there no world for Windows XP Users?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As per Microsoft Guideline<\/strong>, Pre versions of Windows 7 like Windows Vista<\/strong> and Windows XP<\/strong> are not suitable for free<\/strong> upgrading.<\/p>\n

Alternative Ways of Partial Migration for Windows XP Users:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is well known that huge numbers of PCs are installed with Win XP Operating System. This category is not suitable for OS upgrade process, but able to move components<\/strong> like Email<\/strong>, address book<\/strong> and folders. In Windows XP, the default email application is Outlook Express. This email application stores all kinds of information into a DBX file format while contacts are mapped into Address Book. Windows Address Book file is available at local machine with .wab file<\/strong> extension.<\/p>\n

When we plan to move email data of Outlook Express on Windows PC, then it is required to eliminate file format issues. Post versions of Win XP including Windows 10 are supporting MS Outlook as a default email client. This email client supports only PST file<\/strong> which resides at local machine. In this situation, the user has single option which is file format conversion. After converting DBX\/WAB file into PST format, user can continue their work on the newbie operating system (Windows 10<\/strong>) with old email<\/strong> & contacts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

File format conversion<\/strong> is a feasible<\/strong> process with little bit awareness about technical terminology. Being a user, you can try either manual method or automated method. In manual<\/strong> transformation, you have an obligation to complete two phases<\/strong> of data conversion.<\/p>\n
