New Pc How Do I Transfer Stuff

[kia cat]

Hi My new PC has arrived early. So I'm not ready!

How can I make sure I have all the stuff I'm currently using [fave websites etc] available on my new one? The old C: drive has a bug that between Malwareantibytes, F-Secure and me can't track down; so I don't want to infect my new machine.
do I make a copy of my entire C:drive onto my remote back up drive then unplug and re-plug into the new one?
Just have loads of stuff still on my old C:drive Music, photos, scans that I wouldn't want to be lost. And where would I find the contents of microsoft onenote? Thx

First, copy all your personal files (music, photos, scans etc) to your external hard drive. You should do this anyway as a "backup".

There are all sorts of methods of getting files from your PC to your external hard drive such as drag and drop, copy and paste, or "Send To".

Then have a look at Windows Easy Transfer which should help you. Here is the Windows 7 one but there are others for other versions of Windows.

If your old computer is still going then you can use a transfer cable connected between both computers . The cable has a little program that it installs on each only temporary that allows you to drag and drop your information from the old to the new into the appropriate libraries . You can purchase these at your local computer store
