Gateway 1450 Installing your old printer or scanner, Transferring your e-mail and address book

Chapter 12: Moving From Your Old Computer

Transferring your e-mail and address book

Refer to your old e-mail program’s online help for information on exporting and importing e-mail messages and the address book. You can often export all of your old e-mail messages or address book to a diskette, then import them from the diskette into your new computer’s e-mail program. Alternatively, you may want to consider simply printing the old information or use your old computer to send the e-mail messages to yourself, then use your new computer to retrieve the e-mail messages.

Transferring your Internet shortcuts

You can export and import your old Netscape Navigator bookmarks or Microsoft Internet Explorer favorites. For more information, refer to your Internet browser program’s online help.

Installing your old printer or scanner

Windows may have built-in support for older printers, scanners, or other peripheral devices. This means you do not need any additional software. Newer devices, however, usually require your original software installation CDs or diskettes.

Installing a USB printer or scanner

USB devices may have special installation instructions. Refer to your USB device’s installation guide.
