    Best way to transfer data/settings from old laptop to new laptop?


    About a month ago I bought a laptop and since then I've found the same laptop with better specs. I bought the upgraded laptop and I'm going to return the old one. What's the best/easiest way to transfer all my data and settings from the old machine to the new one?

    Data transfer to new laptop

    Hello,

    What is the best way to transfer data from an old HP Win 10 laptop to new HP Win 10 laptop?

    Old laptop: 16GB RAM, 1TB hard drive (~450GB used), Win 10 Home 64

    New laptop: 16GB RAM, 1TB hard drive + 256GB M.2 SSD, Win 10 Home 64 Plus

    I assume the OS will be loaded on the SSD. I want to put my often-used programs on the SSD, too. I'll be using the 1TB HD for less-used programs and bulk storage.

    I'm not sure how to do this and will appreciate all helpful ideas!

    Best way to transfer settings and contacts to new w10 laptop

    Haven't done this in a while, and would greatly appreciate any info on how to transfer my old Windows 7 preferences, contacts and settings to a new W10 laptop.

    The new laptop has a 256GB SSD and a 1TB HDD I think the data files can be copied from the old drive to the new HDD,
    but am unsure where to find info about the preferences and settings, contacts and other such files on the old HDD an where they would be put on the new HDD. Any help would be greatly appreciated
