Learn a few simple ways to transfer data to your new computer from the old one
Getting a new computer at least for me is always a treat. No more slowness, no more errors.You are already to go except all your info is still on the dinasour.If you do not have much data then you can always manually copy it over to a flash drive or over the network and then move it to were you want on the new computer.
You can check out this well written guide called transfer files between computers.
If you just need a few files transferred over then it's no big deal. You can use a USB device.Most people want to keep their custom settings like bookmarks and this is a great site to learn more about doing just that. We also found this other easy pc transfer guide on the same site that has even more info.
If you are looking for more of a fresh start then I do recommend you don’t transfer over any personal settings besides your e-mail account or bookmarks. For me I have several programs and no longer have the CD's for them so I had to go with specialized data transfer software.
Of course you can always use the Easy transfer software that comes with XP and vista.While this program is frustrating at times it can prove useful. Often times you may find it a little frustrating and it may take a few attempts to get the information you want. We should also mention that before you do any data migration from your old computer to the new one you should always try and install the software first on the new computer. This will help to make sure the data ports over correct. Outlook is a big one for many business owners.
You can always manually copy and paste info over to your new computer as well.By far this is the best way to go for people who have little info and don't really want any user accounts or custom settings trasnfered over.
