  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.

  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.

• Could someone tell me the best way to transfer files and settings from an old computer to a newer version?

  Hello everyone, once again I find myself going to the pro to know what you're probably going to think is an easy thing to do, but I have to swallow my pride and ask anyway. Before I ask my question, I need to let you know that I'm almost completely computer illiterate. I can manage to do somethings, but I have a feeling this is going to be difficult. I have an older Dell model, this is the Dimension 2350 series and I would like to transfer those things on that is also a Dell, but it's an Intel Pentium 4. . Really, I don't have as long as it's what files to transfer, but especially picutres of family or your holiday. What worries me is transfer the settings on my old computer to the newest one. I have a Windows XP CD drive that comes with a new computer. What help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!  Can you give me an idea what I have to do first with the old as in the steps I have to take.

  Question for you:
   
  What is the operating system on both systems?  They are both Windows XP?  Is the older Windows XP and the newer Windows Vista?  Windows 7?  Something else?
   
  I ask only because whatever you mentioned was a Windows XP CD that is supplied with the newest computer.  The truth - the newest computer is already up and working as you want - if not relevant.  The answer to the foregoing will help someone lead you correctly.

• Can I transfer files and settings from my old hard drive after replacing with a new one?

  the old hard drive developed a kind of problem and was still running out of space. I replaced and recharged my CD XP. the old hard drive is still readable via USB adapter system and I want to what I can from him toward the new restore disc. the old drive is not in a computer. can I use FAST to transfer the old disk directly? I can't find this scenario in all the help files.

  Thank you.

• 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.

• Restore files and settings from my old Windows XP system to the newly installed Windows XP SP2.

  My old Windows XP no longer works correctly - it would start to Windows, but that restart. Otherwise, all data and system files on the hard disk are completely legible [no error reported by various scans].

  I made a copy of that old hard drive [with the problematic Windows XP] on a partition of my drive hard [second] another [using EASEUS Partition Master to copy the whole thing - it created an image of all the old hard disk on a special partition of the second hard disk].

  That I took a third hard drive and installed a new Windows XP [SP2] on it. How can I transfer my files and settings from this partition of the second hard disk [which is the image of the original hard drive] third hard disk [which I now use as the bootable hard disk instead of the original one]?

  Can I use "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard" for whom? If so, how?

  AVI,
  I think it's a little late for the transfer Assistant.  You should use it while the other drive has been started.  But you can try the wizard.
  Run it and tell him that you are on the new PC.
  So say no to create a wizard disk.
  Then on the location of the files screen, select other and see if it will let you access the info on your another drive.
  In my view, it will look for the file in the wizard, but it is worth it.

  If this does not work then you need to just reinstall your programs and manually copy the data to your new drive. Typing of my new Windows 7 64 bit and love it! Soli Deo Gloria!

• How to transfer files and programs from old pc to new pc w/windows 7?

  How can I transfer my files, data, & programs from old pc to new pc windows 7?

  You can use the program built into Windows easy transfer of files. You can transfer the network drive or USB transfer cable.

  However, your programs will be transferred not on, only your files and settings. Your programs will need to be reinstalled by using the installation media (CD, etc.).
  Some programs can be transferred using the paid version of PCMover, a program designed for migration to new platforms.

  Original title: easy transfer

  Until you do, make sure that your existing computer can actually support Windows 7.  If it's an old computer, it cannot.  You can get a rough idea by running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  If you have a computer of 'brand', go to the website of its manufacturer and check if Windows 7 drivers are available for your model.  Although Windows 7 has a large number of drivers built in, you may well need to install specific manufacturers drivers once Windows 7 installed, especially if you have a laptop.
