8 year old Pavilion finally bit the dust, but everything is backed up to an external drive using XP's built-in Backup utility. When I get my new PC with Win 7, will it be able to read the .bkf backup files from my external drive, and put them in the same relative location within the "Documents" folder (formerly My Documents)? If so, is that done through a built-in Win 7 backup utility, or can Win 7 "open" the .bkf files to expose their contents for me to manually transfer the files?
