    Transfer files and settings to another Windows 7-based computer
    Windows Easy Transfer enables you to back up all user account files and settings, and then restore those accounts and all the users' files and settings to a new computer. To start Windows Easy Transfer, follow these steps:

    , type windows easy transfer in the Start Search box, and then click Windows Easy Transfer in the Programs list.
    2. Follow the instructions to transfer your files and settings.

    Back up current data as a safety precaution

    You can use Windows 7 Backup and Restore Center to back up your current data as a safety precaution. Notice that Windows 7 backup and restore data can be restored only on a Windows 7 operating system.

    1. Click Start
    Collapse this imageExpand this image
    Start button
    , type backup in the Start Search box, and then click Backup and Restore in the Programs list.
    If you are prompted to close programs, make sure that you have saved any open documents and close those programs or click Close Programs.
    2. Under Back up or restore your files, click Set up backup.
    3. Select where you want to save your backup, and then click Next.
    4. Select Let Windows choose or Let me choose, and then click Next.
    5. Make the appropriate selections, and then click Next or Save Settings and run backup.
    6. The backup will be saved to the backup location.

    Manually make a copy of files
    To manually copy your files to a network location or to removable media such as a removable hard disk drive, CD, DVD, or a USB memory card, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start
    Collapse this imageExpand this image
    Start button
    , click Computer, and then double-click the drive where you currently have Windows 7 installed.
    2. Open the Users folder, and then open the user folder from which you want to back up the files.
    3. Copy the necessary folders from the user folder to a network location or to removable media.
    Note To back up data for all users, repeat steps 2 through 3.

    Tip To determine the size of all the files in the user folder, select all the folders, right-click those selected folders, and then click Properties.

    The saved files can be copied to any computer. However, you must have related applications installed on that computer to open those individual files.

    I hope this helps.
