Dictation.It is not clear what you have done so far. Let's start out with what is normally done when one buys a new computer and wishes to save his old data. Then you can respond as to whether not that describes the procedure you used.
After purchase of a new computer, the user should minimize any invasive things he does to the new computer. This helps preserve the warranty. If something should go wrong with the computer during the warranty period or free service., The user will have to swear that he didn't do anything to the computer to make it behave abnormally.
So here is the procedure suggested by Microsoft and others to put onto a new computer.
Removes the disk drive from the old computer. Use an external device such as that USB enclosure and power supply to allow fields hard drive to be accessed via USB on the new machine.
On the new machine the user could either create a new partition or simply make a new folder to be used to store data material from the old hard drive.
There is a program from Microsoft that allowed to also transfer user settings as well as making copies of user files. However, most of the settings are probably not very important except perhaps bookmarks and favorites.
The is no effective way to France for programs from one computer to another. Despite the fact that some software houses claim they have such programs, these programs have a very high failure rate and are not worth the effort it takes to make them work. And that is not just my opinion.
Others have tried and found it very irritating that she just cannot transfer programs among computer to another.
So then, what is expected of you is to use your new computer as is, and simply copy over some of the data structures that you personally created on your old machine. As for your older programs, you'll have to install them a new from the original install disks. Some software companies will allow you to install the programs on a new computer with the understanding that you're not going to use the programs anymore on the old computer.
Otherwise, you would be required to buy new pressures of your old programs for use on your new computer.
But if you're trying to somehow transfer the entire disk from the old computer to the new computer, you can expect to have a lot of problems.
So then, with the above thoughts in mind, what sort of transfer of information did you intend? Did you intend to replace the operating system in the new computer with your old operating system?
No i recall I was successful for me only one time out of the many attempts that I tried it. And that was with older versions of Windows. Newer versions of Windows have their own rules about how to transfer programs and data from one to another.
As I understand it, you still cannot transfer copyrighted programs from one computer to another unless you have an explicit statement in the license that says you can do that. Check the EULA.
One company that I know of has a procedure where you must first install the program on Iraq online. This removes the registration from their user database. After that you install the program again on your new machine and use the same serial number to register your program. It will let you do that because you're previous registration of that same number has been deleted from their database. But if it had not been deleted, it will not let you do a fresh new install on a machine that is not the same as the original machine.
How many software companies follow that procedure I do not know. But Microsoft is one of the companies that does have a rather hard-nosed attitude about transferring programs from one computer to another.
N ow I hope this is been of some help to you. I do not know how to make it more concise and still get the point across. It is not easy to transfer an operating system and programs from one computer to another. Unless you have the original disks and you are sure the software companies involved will permit you to do just that.
Hope you get it gt it going right.
