  It is a description however computer stores will sell them at low cost.

  =============================

  If this isn't a lot of files, you could their zip and send them by e-mail.

  Online record sites could function as your SkyDrive.

  And you could set up a network if you really need as much connectivity.

  I hope this helps.

  No, it won't, it will transfer personal files and settings. You will have to reinstall your applications from the original installation files or install CDs and DVDs.

  If you really want to move your applications to the Vista computer, you will need to buy a commercial programs such as Laplink PC Mover that will allow you to move your programs:

• Transfer files and settings from PC to win8.1 PC win7

  My win7 PC play, so I'm looking to buy a new one. Unfortunately they all win8.1.

  There are many threads and messages on the complicated transfer data became, but they are confused and with the help of MS sites do not seem to cover this.

  Essentially, I would like to know how to transfer data and settings from my PC to a new PC win8.1 win7?

  I used easy transfer from XP to win7, but I understand that this is not possible with win7 for win8.1.

  I do not use the cloud.

  I have an external HARD drive that I use for backup in win7.

  Is this just a case of copy and paste my drives C and D together to the new computer?

  I'll be able to transfer settings and programs?

  Thank you.

  Yes, it works with Windows 7.

  How can I transfer my settings, files, and programs (e.g., office) from my old PC to the new PC?

  Microsoft Office and other applications will need to be reinstalled from their original installation disk or install files. Make sure you have your product key for your applications.

  Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

  How to install applications in Windows

  In what concerns your personal files and settings, you can save them using Windows Easy Transfer and restore them on your new computer, you can have an external hard drive for this task.

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

  I highly recommend using Windows Easy Transfer, as it stores a lot of what you miss by a manual copy and paste. For example, dictionaries customized in Microsoft Word and bookmarks and other custom settings for third-party applications that are stored in the folder (hidden) of AppSettings.

• Folders, files and programs from a folder called 'research', can I get back them?

  I found a folder named "research." I looked at it and saw that can be found just about everything I downloaded. Movies, etc. I started to delete some and realized that I should not delete. Tried to recover - no chance. Half my office has disappeared, and lots of folders and files and programs are gone, I'm in a mess. Any suggestions, other than a.38?

  I really hope that someone can help you. I'm at my wits end, thinking that I can't do anything. I need help. Is there anyone out there?

  Also a 38 a clean reinstall is your best option.

  Sometimes to try to solve the problems takes longer than a reinstall.

  In addition, a resettlement gets rid of questions that your computer has.

  You should have a factory restore the image on your hard drive.

  With the factory restore, it is quick and easy.

  If you don't factory nor manual reinstall consider buying Service Packs.

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/bb738089

  This page will display the SP1 of Vista, under the heading: order a DVD of Windows Vista SP1, click on your region and then select your country and will take you to a page where you can buy the SP1 and SP2

  Save the link and it's also for others to read this post wishing to purchase Service Packs for Vista as long download time saved and you can use them download are a problem or you reinstall your operating system.

  If you later reinstall OS and you install the drivers manually install the Service Packs right after OS reinstalled before installing any drivers. You can first install the drivers but it is better Service Packs first as sometimes when you install a Service Pack after the drivers, you can find some drivers do not work and you have to reinstall these drivers.

  For people using the original image, your drivers are already installed then install Service Packs just after the factory restore before installing applications or devices or download Windows updates.

  Service Packs using immediately also save hundreds of download of the updates of Windows first of all that all updates to the top until the release of Service Packs are included.
