Default how to migrate to new computer?

From: "Ann B."

I'm running WindowsXP on a Dell computer purchased in 2002. It's
been great; no hardware problems; just what turned out to be software
issues - firewall mostly. It's time to purchase a new one, hopefully
with a smaller footprint. I'm considering an iMac desktop and a new
Dell 8500 CPU as options.

My problem is transferring Access & Excel databases & spreadsheets
from the '02 (I think) Professional Ed to the newest version - 2010 I
believe running under Windows 7. Can this be done?

Also - can it be done if I decide to go with an iMac?

All my improtant data - financial, medical, etc ares in those
databases; can't just kill them off. What to do?

Thanks for any advice!


Cheers,
AB


Copy the data from XP PC to a USB hard disk or use a NT Share and Share the data over the
LAN.

The replacement computer can access the USB Hard Drive (sneaker net) or the NT Share
(Ethernet).
