Transferring your e-mail and address book
Refer to your old e-mail program’s online help for information on exporting
and importing e-mail messages and the address book. You can often export all
of your old e-mail messages or address book to a diskette, then import them
from the diskette into your new computer’s e-mail program. Alternatively, you
may want to consider simply printing the old information or use your old
computer to send the e-mail messages to yourself, then use your new
computer to retrieve the e-mail messages.
Transferring your Internet shortcuts
You can export and import your old Netscape Navigator bookmarks or
Microsoft Internet Explorer favorites. For more information, refer to your
Internet browser program’s online help.
Installing your old printer or
scanner
Windows may have built-in support for older printers, scanners, or other
peripheral devices. This means you do not need any additional software.
Newer devices, however, usually require your original software installation
CDs or diskettes.
Installing a USB printer or scanner
USB devices may have special installation instructions. Refer to your USB
device’s installation guide.
