Setting Up Your Computer

Transferring Information to a New Computer

You can use your operating system "wizards" to help you transfer files and other data from one computer to another—for example, from an old computer to a new computer. For instructions, see the following section that corresponds to the operating system that your computer is running

Microsoft® Windows® XP

The Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system provides a Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to move data from a source computer to a new computer. You can transfer data, such as:

E-mail messages

Toolbar settings

Window sizes

Internet bookmarks

You can transfer the data to the new computer over a network connection, or you can store it on a removable media, such as a writable CD, for transfer to the new computer.

For transferring information to a new computer, you must run the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. You can use the optional Operating System media for this process or you can create a wizard disk with the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.
