All windows nastyness : character encodings, backslashes, ugly paths (D:\folder), case insensitive filenames, odd (non rwx) access rights on files and folders...

You are going to blast losts of pain forever :-)

Remember to backup everything (files and database), to swap to same CMSms version and the possibility to rerun the install wizzard to regenerate a clean new config.php (uncheck "create tables" to keep your database content).
Have fun with CMSms
