I know Best Buy and Staples may do it but need some guidance on recommendations.
If your computer is running XP or newer software as the operating system, you can run a utility to transfer your important items and settings automatically with "Windows Easy Transfer". It takes a little time but has worked well for me over the years (many times). Note, that programs do NOT transfer, just the data etc. Hope this helps (most can do on there own).


Send a PM if you need more help.
