My old laptop is due for replacement, and I plan to transfer all my Windows 10 Settings to the new laptop so that I don't need to reset everything manually. Can I transfer my personal settings to a new computer, including monitors, mouse speed, screen resolution, hibernation, and so on? Thanks in advance!
To transfer personal settings to a new computer, you can manually locate the user data and copy them to your new device, or you can use professional data migration software.
Option 1. Manual transfer
If you don't like using a third-party tool, you can manually locate the files that are related to user settings and move them to your new laptop.
Step 1. Make sure you log in to Windows with an administrator account.
Step 2. Navigate to C:\Users in File Explorer.
Step 3. Select the target folders and files and copy them to your new laptop.
If you are unable to access an administrator account and the copy-and-paste operation is invalid. Go to Option 2.
Option 2. Automatical transfer
Since Windows 11/10 doesn't provide Windows Easy Transfer service anymore, I want to recommend a better and more reliable tool - EaseUS Todo PCTrans Professional. It has a powerful feature that can help you transfer all your personal settings from PC to PC.
This tool offers multiple transfer modes and supports various data, allowing you to transfer everything to the new laptop. You can follow the instructions below to transfer your personal settings to the new PC:
Step 1. Install and open EaseUS Todo PCTrans on both devices. Connect them to the same network.
Step 2. Choose "This is Old PC" or "This is New PC" in the "PC to PC" tab for both devices to set the transfer direction.
Step 3. Enter the password or verification code to make a connection.
Step 4. Go to the "Accounts" tab and enter the user account and password of your old PC. Then, you can select the User Account Settings, User Data, Personalization, etc. to transfer them.
Besides transferring personal settings, this tool also even allows you to transfer installed programs and a variety of files. Such a convenient tool, isn't it?
