How do I move files from one computer to another?
All software application programs (like Word, Excel, Web browsers, email clients, and so forth) should be installed fresh. This is because each computer places files in different places and makes notations to the registry–the “brain” of Windows. Any data files, such as documents you’ve saved in Word, Excel, graphics, and so forth, can be transferred by saving the files to floppy disk, read/write-able CD ROM, a ZIP or Jazz disk. Then, you can copy the files to the new computer from that disk. Another method is to use a Web drive from the Web. Open a freedrive account from the http://www.freedrive.com then upload files in your Web drive and download to the new computer.
