-Backup and restore all Windows ODBC DSNs and drivers in one click.
\ No newline at end of file
+## 🚀 What this does
+
+This kit:
+
+- Saves all ODBC **drivers, DSNs, and registry settings**
+- Builds a single `.zip` backup package
+- Automatically lists **vendor download links** (Microsoft, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.)
+- Recreates everything on a new computer in one click
+
+---
+
+## 🖥️ Requirements
+
+- Windows 10 or 11  
+- Administrator permissions  
+- PowerShell 5.1 or higher
+
+---
+
+## 🧰 Files Included
+
+| File                       | Purpose                                               |
+| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| `export-ODBC.ps1`          | Run this on the **old computer** to export settings   |
+| `restore-ODBC.ps1`         | Run this on the **new computer** to import everything |
+| `ODBC_Backup.zip`          | The automatically created backup package              |
+| `ODBC_Migration_Report.md` | Report with driver download links                     |
+
+---
+
+## 📤 Step 1 — Backup (Old Computer)
+
+1. **Right-click** `export-ODBC.ps1` → **Run with PowerShell (Admin)**  
+
+2. Wait until you see:
+   
+   ```
+   Export complete. ZIP created at: C:\ODBC_Migration\ODBC_Backup.zip
+   ```
+
+3. Copy that `ODBC_Backup.zip` file to a USB drive or cloud folder.
+
+---
+
+## 📥 Step 2 — Restore (New Computer)
+
+1. Copy the `ODBC_Backup.zip` file to `C:\ODBC_Migration\`  
+2. **Right-click** `restore-ODBC.ps1` → **Run with PowerShell (Admin)**  
+3. The script will:
+   - Extract your backup
+   - Recreate DSNs
+   - Import registry keys
+   - Tell you which drivers are missing (with clickable download links)
+
+Example output:
+
+```
+=== Missing ODBC Drivers Detected ===
+  - ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server (64-bit)
+    Download: https://learn.microsoft.com/sql/connect/odbc/download-odbc-driver-for-sql-server
+```
+
+4. Install missing drivers if needed.  
+   Then re-run `restore-ODBC.ps1` one more time (safe to run twice).

+## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
+
+| Issue                                       | Fix                                                                   |
+| ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| PowerShell says “script execution disabled” | Open PowerShell as admin → `Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned`         |
+| ZIP not created                             | Ensure there’s enough space on `C:\` and that PowerShell ran as admin |
+| Missing driver link says “Search manually”  | Use the Markdown report to see full list of known download sites      |
+| Restore errors out                          | Run again after installing missing drivers                            |
+
+---
+
+## 🧑‍💻 Technical Details (for advanced users)
+
+- Uses `Get-OdbcDsn`, `Get-OdbcDriver`, and registry exports  
+- Detects installed products from `HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall`  
+- Generates CSV and Markdown reports with official vendor links  
+- Compressed using `Compress-Archive` built into PowerShell  
+- Logs stored in `C:\ODBC_Migration`
