THIS MONTH'S FAQ - WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO TRANSFER FILES TO MY NEW PC?
Question: I'm planning to get a new computer with Windows 7 and will need to transfer my files over from my old PC. What's the best way to do this?
Answer: The best way to transfer your files is to use the Microsoft tool designed specifically for this task, Windows Easy Transfer. With this tool, you can easily transfer user accounts, files and folders (including documents, photos, and music), and other information (such as Internet favorites, email messages, and program settings).
With Easy Transfer, you can decide how you want to pull the data from your old computer over to your new computer.
Your options are:
~Through a network connection
~Using a CD or other removable media
~With a special cable (called the Easy Transfer cable) that you can order online or pick up at an electronics store
You'll need to start Easy Transfer on both computers, choose what
information you want to transfer, and follow the instructions to complete the task.
Keep in mind you will still need to install applications on your new
computer, such as the Microsoft Office suite, financial software, and any other programs you may have on your old system. Also note that transferring data can be a lengthy process; the actual time will vary depending on the method you choose (network, media, or cable) and the amount of data you have.
