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.Youre all set except for that fact that all your info is still stuck on your old computer.  Sure you can take a USB device and manually start coping over things but that only gets you so far and with the amount of files I have that will take days to finish.
You can check out this well written guide called data from one computer to another.

If you just need a few files transferred over then it’s no big deal.You can use a USB hard drive.  If you want your custom settings like bookmarks and the like then the above is a great site to check out for a hands on how to guide.  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 file transfer software.

An option you have that is totally free is the Easy transfer wizard.While the software is far from perfect it can and does get the job done in the long run.  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.   If you have very little documents and no other info then this is the best way to go as it will only take you a few minutes to burn a CD or network the computers to view each other and then copy it over.
