Am new computer... How can I copy photos and letters of words from microsoft of old computer until I've set up a new.

New to this... to save the old letters I "crushed" the years and the photos saved on my old 2003 computer Gateway with XP.  Cannot find how to back up the info.      wouldn't go down old computer before doing this.    New computer YES... HP smart Touch with screen 23 inches.    Help someone?

It all depends on where the data is stored. Microsoft recommends storing files of photos under "My pictures" and Word files under 'My Documents' if it's your daily practice, backup the contents of these files to a Flash DRIVE or online and then recovery on the new computer will do the trick.

If the storage in the folders mentioned above is not your practice, it's more time-comsuming.

For Word files:

1. click on start

2. click on search

3. click on "all files and folders".

4. type (without quotes) ".doc".

5. click on search

6 hover mouse on one of the results until the highlight

7. on the keyboard, press the CTRL and. Everything is selected

8. on the keyboard, press the Ctrl and C keys. Everything is copied

Put on your backup media and on the keyboard, press the Ctrl and C keys. Everything is stuck

For photo files:

1. click on start

2. click on search

3. click on ' Photos, music or videos.

4. click on "Images and pictures.

5. click on search

6 hover mouse on one of the results until the highlight

7. on the keyboard, press the CTRL and. Everything is selected

8. on the keyboard, press the Ctrl and C keys. Everything is copied

Put on your backup media and on the keyboard, press the Ctrl and C keys. Everything is stuck

Stick the USB drive in the new computer and copy.

Otherwise, you can save online and retrieve files on the new computer.

If your computers are on a network, it is even simpler.

Windows easy transfer is the easiest method, assuming that you know where all the files are located.

Hope this helps

    (Photoshop elements is installed on both computers).

    This is a typical and very common requirement.

    The solution is to store your media library as well as your catalog on an external drive.

    You can connect the external drive on both computers alternately. The performance is very good.

    One way to make the transfer is to use the backup / restore process:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/KB/backup-restore-move-catalog-Photoshop.html

    This is the same process to an external drive or another computer.

    Edit:

    Make sure that the external drive is recognized by the same drive letter.

    ===========================================
    Complex issue... but I'll try to offer some ideas.

    Data that cannot be rewritten on the photo files are archived in the
    Windows Live Photo Gallery database owner (Pictures.pd5).
    So... move the files may prevent access to the data.

    If you move the files to another computer, you may have some
    moviing success the Pictures.pd5 file also.

    Sometimes data are not written back to the image files, because they
    are read only... and sometimes it's because of the file format.

    Maybe the next thread will enlighten us:

    I just upgraded my IPhone 6 Plus and my IMac (running OS X El Capitan) the reader to ICloud.  I thought that my documents Pages and Numbers would be automatically copied in ICloud drive.  They were not.  How can I copy my documents Pages, and existing Numbers to ICloud drive?  I have read some material, and none of them explain how to copy my documents in ICloud without removing them from my computer.  Is it possible to have documents in ICloud and on my IMac (like ICloud library works)?

  • How can I copy Photos from an Officejet 7500 a card inserted in the printer to the computer?

    I have a HP 7500 a all-in-one Officejet.  I have an SD card with photos on it is inserted into the slot of the printer.  I'm under 64-bit Windows.

    I can only view pictures and print on the printer.  It won't let me transfer photos from the printer to the computer.

    All other HP printers I had always let me use the SD card as a mass storage device and I could transfer files back using file manager in Windows.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    Yes, you can do so by mapping the SD card as a network storage device. Please follow the instructions below:

  • HX400V - Help! -How can I copy photos from internal memory to SD card or computer?

    I'm mystified by the simple procedure to copy pictures from the internal memory to an SD card in my Sony HX400V, or at my office. I see nothing in the instruction manual or online on this subject. Looking for info on the previous model, the HX300, I discovered a 'Settings - memory card' function, which doesn't seem to exist under 'Settings' for the HX400V. If anyone can help?

    Unlike the HX300 the HX400 has no internal memory.

    If you take a picture with a HX400 who doesn't have a card inserted, it will store the photo in its buffer, and when you insert a memory card, the HX400 will immediately transfer the photo in the buffer on the memory card. If you take a picture of a second before you insert a memory card, the first photo will be scrapped and the second photo with stored in the buffer.
