I was able to buy from BUY COM an hp computer that still comes with
Windows XP. My current (old computer) has windows xp.

From what I know, there are several methods of transferring files and
applications from the old computer to the new.

One is using either Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image to CLONE the
contents of the old computer's drive to the new computer's drive.

Another method that I am reading about is using a program made by
Laplink called PC MOVER to transfer files and applications from old
computer to new.

Any opinions as to which is the better way of making the transfers?
All opinions welcomed.

The new computer arrives in a few days & I desire to be prepared.

best, Aaron
