Transferring Information to a New Computer

You can use your operating system wizards to help you transfer files and other 
data from one computer to another computer. 

Microsoft

®

 Windows

®

 XP 

The Microsoft

Windows XP operating system provides the Files and Settings 

Transfer Wizard to transfer data, such as:

•

E-mail messages

•

Toolbar settings

•

Window sizes

•

Internet bookmarks 

You can transfer data from one computer to another computer over a network 
or serial connection, or by storing the data on removable media, such as a 
writable CD or DVD.

 

NOTE: 

You can transfer information from one computer to another computer by 

directly connecting a serial cable to the input/output (I/O) ports of the two 
computers. To transfer data over a serial connection, you must use the Network 
Connections utility in the Control Panel to perform additional configuration steps, 
such as setting up an advanced connection and designating the host computer and 
the guest computer.

For instructions on setting up a direct cable connection between two computers, 
see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article #305621, titled How to Set Up a Direct Cable 
Connection Between Two Computers in Windows XP. This information may not be 
available in certain countries.

Using the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard requires the Operating System 
installation media that came with your computer or a wizard disk, which the 
wizard can create for you.
