Transferring Information to a New Computer
Microsoft Windows XP Operating System
Windows XP provides the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to move data
from a source computer to a new computer.
You can transfer the data to the new computer over a network or serial
connection, or you can store it on removable media, such as a writable CD,
for transfer to the new computer.
NOTE:
You can transfer information from an old computer to a new computer by
directly connecting a serial cable to the input/output (I/O) ports of the two
computers.
For instructions on setting up a direct cable connection between two computers,
see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article #305621, titled
How to Set Up a Direct Cable
Connection Between Two Computers in Windows XP. This information may not be
available in certain countries.
For transferring information to a new computer, you must run the Files and
Settings Transfer Wizard.
