Program and data tranfer Windows 10


EagleEye

Recommended Posts

I just bought a new computer with windows 10. I have several questions and will probable have more.

My old computer is windows 7.

1. Is there some way that I can tranfer programs from the old computer to the new one? The main program that I want to move is Quicken where I track all of our spending. I don't have the disk as when I bought it I downloaded it.

 

2. Is there some way to tranfer my mail contracts from the old computer to the new one?

 

I'm not the real computer literate so I need some help.

 

Thanks

Dave

If you purchased the program from Amazon or other reputable source you may well be able to download it again. For Amazon, go to My Software Library.

Moving email contacts is pretty easy with many email clients. I have done it several times with Thunderbird. Favorites are also easy to move with many browsers. I have done it with Firefox and Chrome. Their websites have instructions on how to do it. It involves finding a profile file and and copying it to the proper folder on the new computer.

I've always been able to download from the Quicken site. However, I found less problems with Quicken if you upgrade every 2 years.

If you still have the old computer and it runs, find the Quicken download file on it and move it to the new computer. If the computer does not run, put the hard drive into a USB enclosure (Amazon has many, I like the "tool-free" ones from Orico) and you can search for it from your new computer. I just moved Quicken 2015, but I had the disk.

Finally got the e-mail data transferred. Spent the better part of two days because after I transferred the profile files I kept getting a message that it couldn't find the profile file. I tried to find it also and couldn't find it. Turns out I left one letter out in the file name and when I finally found it and corrected the problem it work. Not I can move on to working on the Quicken problem. Hope it doesn't take as long.
