If you want to copy your eternal September account from OE to WLM, do this: 
In OE, click Tools->Accounts.  Select your eternal September account under 
the "All" tab, then click the Export button.  This will give you a *.iaf 
file with server settings, user name, etc...  Save this to a thumb drive, 
then go put the thumb drive in your Win7 machine and start up WLM.

Again, it will be Tools->Accounts, then click the Import button.  In the 
file dialog box, point to the *.iaf file on your thumb drive, and your 
account will be set up on WLM.  If you don't have a thumb drive, then email 
the file to yourself.

I suggest NOT using the newest version of WLM (15.XX...), but look for the 
2009 version (14.XX...).  I posted a link to a page which has a download, in 
this newsgroup in the thread  "'Upgrading' from WLM 2011 to WLM 2009".  good 
luck
