Switch from one computer to another startup disk?
If I remove my boot from my XP Pro 32 bit computer drive and put in my computer XP Pro 64-bit that is not any other hard drive installed, will be the second start (64 - bit) machine up?
Probably not if the motherboard hardware specifications are different.

Switching from one computer to another computer used...
My current computer of dinosaur is flawed and very slow. I got another tower which is used and there wasn't anything erased. How can I clean the newest computer? So, I still have to make a transfer from my old computer to the most recent it may be serious flaws in it? I need the simplest possible as I'm basically pretty computer illiterate - so simple English would be preferable. Thank you very much!!! Lin
You can do a simple disk cleanup to remove stuff (start |) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup.
Then you can go to start | Run and type msconfig and disable the startup items, you do not need to run at startup of the computer (if you complete this step on the "dinosaur", then it'll be quicker also).
Then go to control panel | Add / Remove programs and uninstall all anti-virus software and get www.microsoft.com/security_essentials and also www.malwarebytes.org. Both are free.
You can also uninstall any software that you don't need, but as long as it does it all the time, you don't need to uninstall.
Once you have analyzed the system go to Windows Update and make sure that it is updated.
Also, go to start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Defragmenter and defragment the hard drive (this allows you to optimize the performance and will also help the "dinosaur").
Then, if you can still stand the machine (
), you can transfer any information or files that you want (for OE, for example, see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6). See if that helps.

What is the process of moving my Creative Suite from one computer to another?
What is the process of moving my Creative Suite from one computer to another? What do I need to uninstall completely from a computer until I can install it on another computer? I have a real CD not a download.
Do not attempt to move anything from one machine to the other. Just use the disk and the serial number, you will need to install on the new machine. You are allowed to have two facilities enabled, so you can keep the original as a backup, if you prefer. If not, the minimum you need to do is to disable the original in order to free activation for another use (open the program and choose Help-> Deactivate)

How do I move the express email outlook from one computer to another
Hello
How can I move my mail express outlook from one computer to another?
Thank you!
Assuming that the other machine is using Outlook Express too...
Backup restore &:
http://www.insideoe.com/backup/Backup and cloning of your OE identities:
http://www.insideoe.com/backup/clone.htmIn other words if you wish is to create folders on the desktop and do drag OE messages to these folders. Copy them to the Office on the new machine and then drag messages in office files to the OE files.

transfer of all, except the os from one computer to another
want to transfer everything except the os from one computer to another
Marce,
I would like to get an external hard drive - the best of Seagate and Western Digital for about $100. I have a 320 GB Seagate and it's much more that I need. Can I save more than one computer at a time. It's basically a huge flash drive, and you can buy them both at the Wal-Mart or Target or Office Max, Office Depot, etc...
This option is also better in the long run too - for data transfer in addition to save your documents in one place safe.
If you feel this isn't for you, then you can move gradually using a flash drive (available at Wal-Mart, Target,...) or burn your data on CD and move it over that way.
I hope this helps.

Transfer programs and files from one computer to another
My old computer is an HP ME edition. I transferred programs and files to a HP with Vista Home Premium. Will the old programs and files, my computer run more slowly, and can I remove the old ME programs and files without interfearing with Vista OS? Thank you
First of all, you can not transfer programs from one computer to another - well, you can try, but it almost certainly won't work because the programs must be installled to make sure that ALL the files and registry entries are added correctly and created. Delete, nothing like you have transferred because it will be of no use and just take place.
As far that range from data, you can transfer data and should not affect the performance of your system (unless you have a LOT of files - and I mean a LOT). Move them to the appropriate folders in your user profile to make them easier to find (and backup).
Certainly, you can delete the old program files and data that you have transferred without causing any problem for Vista. Just be careful that you ONLY delete these files and do not delete Vista files accidentally while you do.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
