Basic question….do I make a simple “backup” with Time Machine after the installation of Lion to my HD? I have new MacBook Pro, June this year using Snow Leopard. My Time Capsule is set up and working fine. I want to install OS X Lion using the USB drive I will buy from Apple (can’t get downloads very well). In effect, by making a backup will this simply install Lion on my Time Capsule? I have no third-party apps installed (just a Safari extension Print Plus, Google earth, quicktime). I have plenty of memory available.

Hey Dobermuffin,
I know it is frustrating to lose the use of your MacBook Pro. I am so glad that you have been making backups of your data using the Macintosh Time Machine application. It will not run on a Windows computer, but as you have Macs available through your family, the best way to do this will be to recover your files to a Mac and then move those files to your new Windows machine.
The Migration Assistant application (located in a Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder) will allow your transfer information from your data from the Time Machine backup to the hard drive of another Mac. See this article -
In particular the section titled Migrate from a Time Machine backup or external drive.
Note step 8. You do not have to transfer everything including applications, computer or network settings. You can just select your home folder, or indeed just portions of your home folder.

Once you have those files on the other Mac you can use one of several methods to move them to your Windows computer. For small amounts of data you can just use a flash drive, you can use a Windows formatted external hard drive, or for a large amount of data you can network the Windows computer with the Mac and use File Sharing to move the files over the network. See this article for how to set up File Sharing on a Mac to work with a Windows computer -
And this one to connect to the Mac from the Windows computer -
I hope we see you back in the Macintosh world soon!
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,
