    You can save your profile (desktop, favorites, documents etc..) and your Windows user account of a PC to another on a CD / DVD or USB key.

    In general, the best way is to save your profile on a USB key. If you transfer all the accounts of users, files and settings, consider a disc external hard drive. In system tools look for the Transfer files and Windows settings .

    Close all open programs, click the button "Start" then "all programs" then "Accessories" then "System Tools" then "Transfer files and Windows settings ".

    In the" Welcome "click" Next " Then, select eg "flash drive" as a support backup. Then click "Advanced Options" to choose Do you want to save or transfer.

    Select by checking or unchecking the boxes. After you have saved your profile and settings Windows, you can transfer them to another computer via the USB key.

    It is also useful if you want to delete an old account in the folder "Documents and Settings" or "User" and substitute a new account.

    While deciding for medium of backup I suggest you partition a hard drive as the backup might be quite heavy depending on your choice.

    So choose as the image below and enter the path of the partition with Browse ... and complete the backup as mentioned above.
