I just completed the Migration portion of the training. I need to re-install Windows 7 on a laptop. I don't have another computer to use to transfer my profile to. Can I transfer my profile just to an external hard drive, re-install Window 7 then bring my profile back in from the external hard drive?

Yes, you can...remember that profile doesn't store applications though.
So you would need to wipe clean the drive
Install the Windows 7 OS, activate, update
Install all applications that you had in the previous installed OS
Then you can use either Windows Easy Transfer or USMT for your version of Windows 7 to reload your user profile
