One of the
biggest problems that most people have in setting up a new computer is
transferring their files and settings from the old computer to the new
computer.
·
Unless your
old and new computers are networked together, the easiest way to transfer
files and settings is with a USB flash drive (Portable memory stick) using
the Windows Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.
·
On your new
Windows XP computer, click on Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools,
then on Files and Settings Transfer Wizard, follow the steps to create a
wizard disk (Do not close the files and settings transfer wizard). Note: If
one of the computers does not have a floppy drive you can create the wizard
disk on the flash drive.
·
Plug in the
flash drive and insert the wizard disk into your old computer. Run the files
and settings transfer wizard and follow the steps to copy your files and
settings to the flash drive. Before removing the flash drive, double click on
the Safely Remove Hardware icon in your system tray (Bottom right hand side)
then click on Stop then click on OK. Remove the flash drive and the wizard
disk.
·
Go to your new
computer and plug in the flash drive then click on next on the files and
settings transfer wizard and follow the steps to copy your files and settings
to your new computer. After the files and settings transfer wizard has
completed transferring your files and settings, click on Finished to close
the wizard and safety remove the flash drive then restart your computer |
