Does System Transfer Overwrite?

I got a PC from my elder brother, and I'm planning to transfer my Windows system from the old computer to this one. But there are some important files he wants to save, and he doesn't want to lose them. Do you know whether a system transfer will overwrite all data on the computer?

The answer is Yes. When you're transferring a system from one computer to another, it does overwrite and erase any existing data on the computer. This includes files, programs, settings, and more.

You need to understand how system transfer works. During the process, your old computer's operating system will be copied over to the new one, replacing any existing data on the target device. So, all the original data will be covered.

But this doesn't mean you will lose these data forever. Creating a backup is the best choice if you want to save a copy of the files and data on the target computer. When the system transfer is finished, you can restore the backup.

So, you can use it to create a backup of your target computer data with only three steps. With the backup, you don't need to worry about overwriting any existing data on the computer during the system transfer process.
