HP Slimline Desktop 410-010 (Energy Star.)
Operating System was Windows Home 10 v. 1809
It was fully loaded with Software. Windows 10 1809 64

I had a spare computer which I'm using now.
hp pavilion Desk Top P7-1410, its working pretty well.
Operating system is Windows 8.1 (build 9600,19206)


Now the Issue: I purchased a HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-0165z PC.
Operating System is Windows 10 Order Number H338055641
Now this New Computer is completely empty
and I want to Backup my computer data from the computer I'm using now.
I must admit I know very little about this procedure.


Any ADVISE would be greatly appreciated.

My Documents Folder Is Unavailable On My Brand New Computer

If you have OneDrive space then I suggest using OneDrive to backup and transfer your files to your new computer. To do that go to your old computer then to the cloud icon on the taskbar > More > Settings > Backup tab
> "Manage backup" and Start the backup of your Documents folder.

Then do the same thing on your new computer and you should be able to automatically sync over your documents to your new computer. If there is a problem then OneDrive should alert you.

  Is it OEM copy of Windows 10?
  

I suggest you to download and install the latest audio drivers from your computer manufacturer website and check if it helps.



As you are mentioning it is a brand new computer, I suggest you to check with the computer manufacturer customer support and check if it helps.

backing up old computer to new one

I purchased a new computer with Windows 10 and my current computer has Windows 7. I was considering putting the old hard drive into the new computer until I found a topic here where it wasn't suggested.

Users mentioned backing up the computer but there was no mention of software so I'm wondering what software do you use to transfer programs and documents from one computer to the next? Is the success transfer rate lower since it's transferring from a HP Windows 7 to a Cyberpower Windows 10 computer?

I have a WD external drive on the way large enough for a backup file to transfer to the new computer. Is there a free program that can be used? My new computer has a SSD which is new to me but I think I'll only upload the previous computer files to the main hard drive. One of my current external WD hard drives has a file labeled "Do your data recovery" but don't know anything about it and that drive doesn't have enough room to do a backup anyway.
