File Transfer Advice

My latest column for Microsoft’s Expert Zone is now available. In it, I share some of my secrets for Moving Files and Settings to a New PC. (It’s not always as easy as it looks!)

    one “gotcha” about using this tool for older computers. You will need to get the program to the old computer, and Windows obligingly asks if you want to create a copy you can run on the old computer. However it won’t burn the program in a CD!!

    If you buy a new computer and it doesn’t have a floppy then you can use a USB keychain drive (the removable ones that plug into a USB port) to move the program to the old computer.
