I am running XP SP3 on an OLD computer. My husband is giving me his fairly
new one, he
also uses XP.
I have a 1T external hard disk.

I am looking for advice on how to transfer my emails, os setup, data, etc.
to the new computer.


For help with e-mail, please tell us what e-mail program you use.

For data, simply copy it to the external drive, then connect the
external drive to the other computer and copy the data from it.

Regarding "os setup," in general you can not transfer that. You'll
need to set up the computer the way you want it.

Regarding etc., please tell us exactly what you are including within
"etc."

I have Acronis and Easeus programs if that would help.

Don't know where to begin - need simple instructions if possible.
Thank you, Patti
