    Migration from old computer to new computer


    My old computer is dying and I am about to buy a new one. I am a 73 year old disabled vet with difficulties and I need a migration program that will transfer everything for me. I understand they will not transfer security programs. I prefer to move everything from the old computer to a backup external hard drive, then move everything from the external drive to the new computer. Can someone recommend the best migration program for this?

    :)

    the new computer? do i just install 10 on the new computer's C: drive and then migrate from the old computer's C: drive to it?

    Migration from old computer to new computer

    Migrating to new computer

    you can plug in the hard drive to the new computer instead of wasting time & lifespan of flash memory

    EDIT: my reply was too late

    a hundred favorites is nothing... try thousands & thousands on multiple browsers & OSs

    i'd rather not 'migrate' programs (well, maybe some of their settings), best to reinstall each
