- TITLE :Some Information Not Migrated When Installed Over Windows 3.x
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- When you install Windows NT over earlier versions of Windows 3.0 or
- 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups, some information is not migrated into
- the Windows NT environment because the migration is not compatible or
- could potentially cause problems.
-
- The following information is not migrated from Windows 3.0 and 3.1
- into the Windows NT environment:
-
- - [Ports], [Devices], and [PrinterPorts] sections of WIN.INI. These
- may actually be migrated during the first stage of migration, but
- Windows NT ignores them.
-
- - Persistent shares and users from Windows for Workgroups.
-
- - Per user profiles maintained by WINLOGIN.
-
- - Default domain and user ID from Windows for Workgroups or the
- LANMAN.INI file.
-
- - Any changes made to the Main, Startup, Games, and Accessories
- groups in Windows 3.0 and 3.1.
-
- - MS-DOS drive letters. Drive letters should be configured using
- Windows NT Disk Administrator.
-
- - The Program Manager Auto Arrange, Minimize on Run, and Save
- Settings on Exit options from PROGMAN.INI are not migrated
- because the Windows NT Program Manager stores these in the
- Registry as REG_DWORD instead of as text strings.
-
- - Font information for character mode command windows.
-
- - The Startup Group is not migrated, it must be recreated.
-
- For additional information on migration, query on the following words
