    Old Files on New Computer


    I set up a new computer 3/21/22. In the Searches folder are a bunch of files from 1979. Most of them are pak file extensions. Would these be from something I downloaded or maybe from an update? It's just 1979 is more than just old.....

    How to stop File History on the old drive and start File History on a new drive?

    I use the external drive
    for File History and have a lot of information there. I want to restart the File History process on a new drive and place the previous File History drive off-site.

    Please suggest the steps to stop File History on the old drive and start File History on a new drive.

    Old Files on New Computer

    Old HD new Computer?

    If you use a old hard drive with files and whatnot on it from a old computer and use it in a new build will the files still be saved or will the setup process wipe them out or how dose that work? Will a personal copy of windows need to be bought if it was just a factory install setup on the old hard drive?

    Thanks for any help im still new to building, have done one for myself with no probs but a friend is asking for help with building a new computer with some of his old parts from one that broke. Any info is really appreicated *Toast :toast:
