Hi,
Hey, can someone recommend a strategy for getting files, software, etc, off
my old PC onto my new PC? I'm sure there's a best way and I'm certain that
without advice, I'll do it absolutely wrong.
I have all my old software programs.
One tiny unrelated hint for you. (Since I'm not a tekkie,
I'll leave the rest of your issues to someone more
qualified)
You don't need to say "software" AND "programs", as in
"software programs". You can say "software" or you can say
"programs."
Good luck!

I'm certain I can download drivers for
my scanners, printers, and cameras. I do want to get my old e-mail settings
(Outlook) copied over. My biggest concerns are; how do I maintain maximum
performance on the new setup. On my old computer, I had all the system
files on my C drive and most of my working files on my D drive. Is there
any reason to partition the 250 gig hard drive on the new computer? Should I
do anything with the system paging file. Photoshop uses my hard disks for
scratch disks. Any suggestions here? Any other thoughts; warnings?
In advance, thanks for your help!!
