How to transfer programs and files to a new computer with Windows 11?
Everlxe Windows 10 and 11 come equipped with a handy backup feature known as File History, which allows users to restore personal files from their folders, but it does not extend to system settings or installed applications. This functionality can prove particularly useful when transferring everything from my old computer to my new computer, including installed programs, files, OS and system settings.
Getting started with File History is straightforward. Simply enter "File History" in the search box on your Windows taskbar, and select the corresponding option from the results. This action will take you to the File History section under Control Panel, where you will see a list of external drives connected to your device. Choose the drive you wish to utilize for backup and click on the “Turn on” option. Once activated, your important files will be systematically backed up to the designated external drive.
