Restoring/Moving Files from Windows 7 to Linux Mint
by Reisender from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5FFPW)
I've been backing up my Windows 7 system using Macrium Reflect Professional Edition v. 5.3 to external drives. I'm considering buying a new Linux system. Since there is no Macrium Reflect version for Linux, is it safe to assume that the only way I can move the files from my Win7 PC to a new Linux machine is by actually copying the files in their native formats to an external drive first, and then either copying or moving them to the new hard drive on the Linux machine?
The external drives are USB portable drives, if that makes any difference.
