Transferring Information using Windows Vista

The Windows Vista operating system provides the 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.

There are two ways to access the Easy Transfer wizard:

When Windows Vista setup is completed, you will see the Windows Vista Welcome Center. One icon in the Welcome Center is Transfer Files and Settings. Click this icon to start Windows easy Transfer.

If the Welcome Center dialog box has been closed, you can access Easy Transfer by clicking Start → All Programs→ Accessories→ System Tools→ Easy Transfer.
