transfer from old computer to new computer

After buying a new computer, what would be the things that need to be transferred from my old computer to my new computer?

for example, do my emails that I don't want to delete, should be transferred?  What about icons that are stored on my desk?

photos should be transferred?

the main issue would be, fault must be transferred and what can I still access my new computer without having to transfer?

All this depends on your specific situation.  For example, I use Outlook.com for my e-mail service.  So if I get a new computer or my current computer falls at the bottom of my truck, I don't have to worry: all my email is online and can be accessed on any new computer as soon as I login.

It is also why I store all my important files on OneDrive.com too.  In this way, that I have never actually transfer anything.

Icons stored on your desktop would probably not be able to be transferred directly, you must reinstall the programs on your new computer.

  • transfer from old computer to new software

    Three years ago, I bought Adobe Creative Suite 4, design premium student edition. I have a new laptop and I was wondering if there is a way to transfer this old to my new computer software, it must be used on the old computer.

    Also, how much money would the upgrade to the latest version of the software (student edition)? Because I can consider this option if the price is not too heavy, or the first option is not possible.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Hi the znfjbsol,.

    To transfer the software, you just need to install it on the new machine. If you have already installed the software on two machines, then you will need to disable the software on any of the machine before installing it on the 3rd machine. To deactivate, launch the software / go to help and click on disable.

    You can download the retail version of CS4 from here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html .

    Please follow the very important instructions before downloading.

  • Pavilion Notebook 15-ab243cl: transfer from old computer to new computer programs

    We just bought a new HP Pavilion Notebook, with 10 windows, to replace its old HP Pavilion dv4-2153, which has been upgraded to Windows 10.  Now we have a problem - how to move programs and files to the new.

    I found two products on the market that claim to be able to do this, but critics of both of them include some less then incounaging stories.  I hope that HP has developed some good software to do this, especially between their own products, or at least can recommend a reliable software.  They must be proud when a customer likes their products well enough to replace genre by genre.

    Any help here?

    Thank you

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your message want to migrate applications from one PC to another and wanted to help.

    Sorry to disappoint you, but HP doesn't no matter what app migration software (that I know).

    However, LapLink does – in its range of PC Mover of products.  The one who moves in the apps is the Pro version.

    I know it works because I used it myself.

    The new version, Win10, has an additional feature that you can migrate applications from an Image file.

    Which means, you can make a backup of the complete picture of your old PC (and to do this, I recommend Macrium Reflect - further) a key USB or external hard drive, which will allow the new PC, install PC Mover there - and restore apps directly from the backup image.

    Macrium reflect (MR) provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.

    What I recommend is the following:
    (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
    (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key

    You have NOW a backup of the image of the old PC - and all of the information required by PC Mover to migrate applications to the new PC.

    Good luck

    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.

    Can someone give me the better, easier and faster method available. At least give me a step by step procedure for this task.

    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:
