Hi, Donal, Someone in tech support in DCU could probably do an image copy to an external drive or disk and transfer everything? Then again, if the old laptop is a bit dicey maybe you don't want an exact copy. You could try Dropbox, but that won't copy favourites. You could try a piece of software to help with copying data with a LAN drive as an intermediary. You might even be able to do so using a direct link via a cable or bluetooth connection. Have a look at: http://www.komando.com/downloads/2218/the-faster-easier-way-to-copy-your-fil es There used to be a piece of software called LapLink that did this sort of thing, but I don't know if it still exists. It might be worth having a search for it. If all else fails, you could talk to God, better known as Barry mcMullen. I'm sure he could sort this out in his sleep. Hope this helps. Take care, Gerry Ellis If you dont know where youre going, How will you know when you get there? -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dónal Fitzpatrick Sent: 21 May 2014 15:07 To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vicsireland] moving data from one windows machine to another. Hi folks, For the first time in about 6 years, Ive to set up a windows machine from scratch. I have an old laptop here all right but now its dying so I have a new one. Anyway to the point: Is there anything that would assist me moving all user data (documents, email, favourites etc) across from one machine to another?
