Transferring Files and Settings from Your Old PC to

Your New PC

You can copy the old PC files to the new PC using

media such as CD or DVD discs, Memory Sticks, or

personal media drives. You can also copy certain

settings such as Web browser Favorites and address

books using Microsoft’s Files and Settings Transfer

Wizard.

For more information click Start, All Programs,

and then Help and Support.

Search for transfer wizard, and select the overview

article, “Files and Settings Transfer Wizard

overview.” This information describes a Microsoft

solution for moving your files onto your new PC.

HP Products Work Better Together

HP computers include preloaded software for select

HP All-In-One, camera, scanner, and printer

peripheral products. Preloaded software simplifies

and speeds product setup for HP peripherals.

Simply connect the HP peripheral product and turn it

on, and your HP PC automatically configures it so it

is ready to use.

Protecting the PC

HP provides a virus-scanning software program to

help protect your PC (select models only).

The virus-scanning program manufacturer provides

free virus scan updates through your Internet

connection for an initial period after your PC

purchase. You can purchase a subscription service

for updates after the initial free period expires.

New types of viruses and spyware are invented all

the time. Protect your PC by getting regular updates

of your virus-scanning software from the program

manufacturer.

If a software program or the operating system gets

damaged, reinstall the software. See the PC

Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide that came

with your PC for information about System Recovery,

Application Recovery and System Restore. System

Restore is a software that creates restore points,

memory of the system file settings on the PC at a

particular point in time.

When your PC has software problems, it is possible

that a voltage spike, power outage, or brownout

has occurred. Symptoms of voltage spikes include a

flickering video display, unexpected PC startups,

and the PC not responding to your commands. A

voltage spike can occasionally corrupt or destroy

files, so it is a good idea to consistently make

backup copies of your data files. Prevent voltage

spikes by installing a surge suppressor made for use

with PCs between the power outlet and the PC

power cord.
