Okay,don't shoot me for asking this maybe noobish question,but because it's the first time ever i'm gonna do this i want it to be flawless
Planning on buying new rig next month,but don't wanna lose my programs and games i have on this pc.What do i need to do?I want to use them on the next computer without going through the hassle of redownloading/reinstalling them
Can i just copy/paste them to my external HD and do it the other way around when the new computer arrives?When i do that can i use the programs right away,or do i still need to reinstall them?
Or do i need to make a back-up?And how do i do that?And how without making a backup of Windows Vista?Moving to Windows 7.
I know this is a stupid question but never done this before so sorry
