Can I Transfer My Personal Settings to A New Computer?

Question

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 transferIf 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 transferSince 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.
