How to save programs and keys on backup?
Hello everybody,
As my first posting, I'd like to say hello and thank you in advance to helping me out. I currently have an Alienware M17, way too big for my liking. I plan on switching to a new laptop, but not without selling this one to afford one I want. I will be getting a internal terabyte of memory to do a disk clone, but I am also backing up to my 1 tb external WD drive.
In essence my question is.....
"What would be THE BEST way to ensure that when I re-install everything on my new laptop, that all my programs and their keys will be on the disk? I know I can take out my current harddrive (maybe) and swap it out with the new one, but I will not have my current one, and would like to sell it with the harddrive. I have programs such as Microsoft Office, CS5 Master, SketchUp, Revit, etc.
Would it be possible to simply take everything from my current laptop, and without any modifications, place everything on my current drive, to the new laptop?
Thank you!
