Setting-up Your New Computer: How To Move Your Old Files to Your New Computer Part-8
It sounds like a fairly simple way to handle your data transfer. However, be aware:
~ Generally, these programs want to move all the contents of your old computer to your new computer. That's OK for your data files but moving the program files that run your applications may cause problems because older applications may not be supported by your new computer operating system. Transferring a Windows 95-era program to a computer preloaded with the Windows XP operating system could be a problem because many of those programs haven't been upgraded to run under Windows XP.
~ When you move the full contents of a computer system, everything moves over, including those obscure files that had your old computer running sluggish in its final days.
~ Moving data through a USB cable isn't fast, but it is faster than data transfer through a parallel port.
