New Computer

There is a question: I am getting a new personal computer, and, of
course, I want to transfer some files and
folders/directories/subdirectories that I have on this PC to the new
one. What files and folders/directories/subdirectories would I
transfer?

Thank you,

The Files and Settings Transfer Wizard will transfer email messages, IE favorites,
and many other files and settings. However, it does not transfer programs.

In general, it's a good idea to transfer all of the ones
that you want to keep.
