My old pc computer has windows 10. New pc I ordered is windows 11. Is it possible to transfer all my stuff to the new computer. Is this something I could do? Or should I take it to a computer service? Is it an all at once everything switch or do I grab the stuff individually I want to transfer? I'd like to get my pictures and videos, documents, programs and all my saved Favorites for the web. I should add I can't use Onedrive, I can't get it on my old computer.

Hi, Welcome to BC.

 

Depends, can do it by USB drive but make sure are in the fastest ports.

 

Can take drive out if is a storage drive and stick in to new computer as long as it is not a bootable drive.

 

Can buy a usb to sata data connector and pull old drive and connect to new system and transfer the files you need as stated.   T

his would be the fastest way to do so.

Simple, saved files/pictures/music are easy, yes you can off-load those to your new W11 machine. PK's suggestion above will work fine. However, any installed programs will have to be reinstalled on to your new W11 computer.


If there are no responses to my post for 3 days I remove it from my answer list. If you wish to continue the thread after 3 days please PM me.

You can't move programs. They need to be reinstalled.

 

For the other data, I use this.  Fab's Home and office.
