As you probably all know by now, Microsoft hasceased supportforWindows 7. This means that it will no longer receive anysecurity updatesand that everyone still running it should really consider upgrading toWindows 10.

Of course, there’s always the option of staying withWindows 7(if you are part of a company), by buying theWindows 7Extended Support for Business.

Unfortunately, this is not a long-term option, since the Extended Support will only buy you an extra 2 years, after which upgrading toWindows 10is pretty much your only choice.

Because of this, more and more users are already migrating to the newer OS. The problem is that migrating means more than just the OS, it also involves moving your files and folders between upgrades.

Such would be the case with ODBCs (Open Database Connectivities), as plenty of users will now need to know how to migrate them between one computer and another.

Thankfully enough, we’ve created a step-by-step guide that will show you just how you can do this with the least amount of effort.
