Moving all my programs/plug-ins/settings

Im running windows 7 premium,im getting another pc running windows ultimate,is there a way i can transfer all my programs over with there plug-ins installed and all the settings etc rather than install them all again one by one?

Not without cloning the OS< and even then you'll be spending more time than a clean install. A new computer means a new start..giving you the chance to install updated versions of apps and drivers. If you prep ahead of time, it won't take you too long.

Thanks so pc mover ultimate edition wont do that?
It will take me all day lol to install my programs.

I have zero faith in letting a program decide what's important to me and what's not. If it really takes you all day...consider simplifying your setup. On top of that, how often to you reinstall? Wouldn't you want to have the computer running at peak efficiency from the start?

lol based on that i'll do it manually,erm better stock up on some goodies to eat,thanks.
Cant wait to get my beast of a pc.

You'll be thankful you spent the time early on to have it set up properly. Some good, chilled adult beverages always help as well.
