• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Moving files/programs, etc to a new computer

I want to move everything from my current computer to a new, faster, better computer. I want everything to look as it does on my current system (icons, shortcuts and so on). Here's my dilemma: Everything is on 3/SSD's, the new computer has one 4TB HDD set as "storage". The OS (Win10 Pro) is on a card (PCIe NVme M.2) slot.

Given that info, can I accomplish what I want to do?

Thanks for any help anyone can render

Shortcuts and icons will probably need to be redone. In my job, when I migrate a user from one laptop to another - even the same model/OS, shortcuts in cloud-backed folders still have to be redone.

As for files, you could try using a crossover cable to network them together, but that depends on permissions, etc. Honestly, your best bet is to get either a large external drive with a USB3.0 or better connection and move them that way.
