Transferring files and settings manually

You can manually transfer your personal data files by copying them to removable media, such
as a writable disc, an external hard drive, a network location, or a flash drive.
Finding your documents
Many programs save your personal data files in the Documents or My Documents folder. Look
in your old computer's documents folder for personal data files.

Finding other files

"Searching for files" on page
You can often identify different data file types by looking at the file's extension (the part of the
file name following the last period). For example, a document file might have a .DOC extension
and a spreadsheet file might have an .XLS extension.
