Windows Vista
®
operating system provides the Windows Easy Transfer
wizard to move data from a source computer to a new computer. You can
transfer data, such as:
• User account
• Files and folders
• Program settings
• Internet settings and favorites
• E-mail settings, contacts, and messages
You can transfer the data to the new computer over a network or serial
connection, or you can store it on removable media, such as a writable CD,
for transfer to the new computer.
