Windows 7 How to Transfer Music and VirtualBox Before Windows 7 Reinstall

[fay68]

I am installing Windows 7 Home Premium on a 1 TB hard drive. It currently has Windows 7 Ultimate, but apparently it's not genuine so I have to do a new installation. My question is how do I move my music library (Windows Media Player and iTunes) and virtual-box to my external? I apologize if this is in the wrong place.

To move your music library, you can follow these steps:

Moving Music Library from Windows Media Player:​

• Open Windows Media Player.
• Open the Library section and select "Music."
• Choose the songs you want to move by holding down CTRL on your keyboard while clicking on each song.
• Right-click on the selected songs and choose "Open File Location."
• This action will show you where the files are stored. Copy these files to your external drive.

Moving iTunes Library:​

• Open iTunes.
• Select "Edit" and then "Preferences."
• In the Advanced tab, you will see your iTunes Media folder location.
• Navigate to this location in your File Explorer and copy the music files to your external drive.

Moving VirtualBox:​

• Locate the VirtualBox VM files on your current hard drive.
• Copy the entire VirtualBox VMs folder to your external drive. After copying the files to the external drive, you can reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium on your 1 TB hard drive. Once the new installation is complete, you can copy the files back from your external drive to the appropriate locations on the new installation.
