How do I transfer all files from old W10 Computer to new W11 computer?
I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 11. My old computer has W10. I have literally thousands of files and programs on my old computer. Previously when upgradng to a new OS (e.g., W7 -> W10) I was on ONE computer. Now 2 differrent computers.
Most of my files are on separate HDDs. Most (e.g., My Documents and Pictures) are on one large HDD. Of coures I can remove the HDDs and install it on the new computer, but this would be a difficult process. Is there some way to do the transfer with the HDDs in place?? I don't want to install the Windows 10 directory. Regaining access to programs may be problematic but I think that I can recall passwords or generate new ones.
I'd prefer to do the transfer to use a tutorial without purchasing new software, but I'm willing to buy inexpensive software if needed. I have Microsoft Office 365 with OneDrive and can make this an iterative process if needed.
Your suggestions are appreciated.
