Of course it can be done.

If you are moving to a Windows 7 PC then that includes something called Easy Transfer that should help you do that.

Note I have never used it so dont know how good it is.

Note, just realised that utility may not move passwords, you need to read the details, so it is a good idea to make a note of all your passwords you use.

Note for things like photos and other personal files (documents, music etc) it may be a good idea to copy them to an external hard drive BEFORE using Easy Transfer or any other utility in case it goes wrong. You can do this manually and it is very easy.

The good thing about doing it manually is that you then have a backup or copy of your personal files on your external hard disk, and it is always a good idea to have a backup of important files.

Also if you are going to get rid of your OLD PC (even to a relative or friend) spend some time clearing out all your personal files and information in case the information
gets stolen and used by scammers / hackers etc
yes - I have just got a Asus (and very good it is too) and my local shop did the transfer
