Paragon Announces System Upgrade Utilities 2010 - Effortless and Secure Migration to Windows 7

IRVINE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Paragon Software Group (PSG), the technology leader in innovative data security
and data management solutions, today announced System Upgrade Utilities 2010 -
the pioneering technology for straightforward migration from Windows XP or Vista
to Windows 7 while still allowing the user to keep their old system:

The software offers two intelligent and simple ways to migrate to Windows 7
without having to abandon Windows XP or Vista while a built-in backup feature
guarantees that, in the case of a system failure, the old system can be restored
easily and quickly. Creating a recovery CD helps the user to minimize the
consequences of a system crash or malfunction, as it can be used to boot an
otherwise unbootable system.

Konstantin Komarov, Paragon`s CEO, noted, "Paragon System Utilities 2010 helps
the user evaluate Windows 7 in detail and at their leisure. Reliable Paragon
technologies offer two possible methods for testing Windows 7. Users can set up
a dual boot system or migrate their current operating system to a virtual
environment."

Establishing a dual boot system is possible on both existing and new hardware.
Thus, the user can keep their familiar Windows XP or Vista environment. To set
up a dual boot system, System Upgrade Utilities 2010 creates a new partition for
Windows 7. The Windows 7 Set Up Wizard takes the user through the stages, step
by step, and performs all partitioning operations without troubling the user.
With two partitions, both operating systems are equally accessible; a boot
manager offers the user a choice for which operating system to load, each time
the PC is turned on. Once having made a permanent selection between the old and
new system, Paragon System Upgrade Utilities 2010 helps the user to easily
uninstall the boot manager and one of the systems, and repartition their hard
drive to reclaim the additional free memory/disk space. The partitioning
features remain a valuable tool even after the installation of the new operating
system, ensuring that there is no on-going shortage of disk space.

If the migration option is chosen, Paragon System Upgrade Utilities 2010 will
create a virtual clone of the current operating system. After the installation
of Windows 7, this clone can be transferred to a virtual environment within
Windows 7: www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx. It is also
possible to migrate Windows 7 into a virtual environment within XP or Vista.
Thus, the user can work with both systems at the same time and even use selected
programs from one system within the other one. The user who buys a new computer
with Windows 7 pre-installed and who wants to continue to use their older
Windows XP, can also use Paragon System Upgrade Utilities 2010 to achieve this
configuration. In this case, either a Virtual Machine or a dual boot system can
be used.

Paragon System Upgrade Utilities 2010 is available for USD 29.95 (EUR 24.95):
