    moving content from old to new computer


    I have a very old DellOptiplex 360 desktop with windows 10 and am finally getting rid of it.

    I need to switch all my content over to my new Dell desktop. I forgot how to do this. I need to switch over outlook emails, all documents, all videos, all docs saved directly on my actual desktop screen, firefox browser bookmarks and favorites, etc.
    anyone have links to step by step instructions?
    thanks! yvonne

    :)

    Hi, a starter for 10 for Firefox:

    a. Open browser
    b. do a search as shown
    c. follow instructions

    Data: you could...
    a. Copy everything you need to an external USB disk.
    b. Connect USB disk to new computer
    c. Copy data to where you want it

    or you could set both PCs up in a local network (so they communicate with each other) and copy data that way.

    If you have a lot of programs and data to transfer, there are one-off use programs like PCMover and Easeus PCTrans that will help you transfer almost everything.

    The choice is yours, depending on how simple or advanced you are, and how much you want to transfer.
