Transfer to a new Windows 10 computer
How to transfer programs and files to Windows 10
A common question with the release of Windows 10 is - "How can I transfer my programs and files from the computer I have now, to a new Windows 10 system?".
This is even more important because Windows 10 no longer includes any "Easy Transfer" functionality.
In this tutorial, we'll learn how to transfer programs, settings and files from your old computer to the new Windows 10 PC.
There are 3 parts that are important to the transfer:
- Files , such documents, pictures, music, pictures and emails
- Settings , such as user profiles, emails, accounts, passwords, favorites, bookmarks, wallpaper and other personalization
- Programs , such as transferring Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, Quickbooks, TurboTax, Firefox, Chrome, and other programs to the new computer

on your current computer (the one you are transferring from).
