what is an efficient (and free) way to transfer files to new computer?
Hi,
I am waiting for my new laptop to come in the mail. My current laptop is running Windows 7 32-bit. The new one runs Windows 7 64-bit.
I understand I will have to reinstall programs, but what is an efficient (and free) way to transfer files (and settings?) over the new system? In addition to files, I would like my browser bookmarks, pinned folders, email messages (thunderbird), and the like transferred.
My current hard-drive is using about 100 GB of space.
If it helps, I also have a 500 GB external hard-drive available for use. I don't have any special high-speed connection/file transfer wires. I may have some old ethernet wires laying around somewhere.
