I must return my computer and seller has agreed to an exchange. So I can not use a Wizard or stuff like that.  I will not have the old unit to transfer from.  Again I will not have a computer to move WLM FROM.  I am however well-backed up.  I know where WLM is stored, I am well backed up and I also have a full Windows 7 back up with a full Image on a separate data only back up both on a separate hard drive.

Here are my questions:

1.  Do I really need to re-install WLM on the new computer?  Can't I just go to my most recent Windows 7 back up, then to the WLM directory and just click that as a “restore”?  Will it be restored in full to the new computer?  We use are several email addresses and I do not want to have to go through the process of setting up each individually.  (Pop this and Imap that it was a nightmare the first time.)

2.  If I can not do a Restore from Window 7 back up, not how do I (a) get and install WlM and (2) how to I move my data (several email accounts and many storage folders) to the new computer?

Please I do not want to  run down a rabbit hole or make a career out of this (I already have one). I do not want theories, guesses (maybe this, try that, or questions,  but just answers from people who know and are certain their solution it factually correct.

Thanks
