Transferring Information to a New Computer

The Microsoft

XP operating system provides a Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to move

data from a source computer to a new computer. You can transfer data, such as:

E-mail messages

Toolbar settings

Internet bookmarks

You can transfer the data to the new computer over a network connection, or you can store it on
removable media, such as a writable CD, for transfer to the new computer.

For transferring information to a new computer, you must run the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.
You can use the optional Operating System CD for this process or you can create a wizard disk with the
Files and Settings Transfer Wizard utility.
