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.get rid of those errors and your pc taking forever to boot.  The only thing holding you back right now is having all your information 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 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.the above is a great guide for showing the basics on how to transfer your information like bookmarks over to your new computer.  We also found this other pc to 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.

One free option is to use the Easy Transfer software that compes preinstalled on Vista and XP.  There are downsides to the program but it can and does work.  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.
