HOW TO USE THIS SAVED PROFILE OF YOURS IN A NEW COMPUTER

Many users of PC Windows's computers save their documents and pictures on a USB flash drive, but a failure of the computer will possibly destroy all settings, configuration, shortcuts, contacts, web favorites, web links and everything that was once familiar.

If another computer is purchased, the system will be bare. Saved documents and pictures can be restored from the thumb drive but nothing will be familiar.

However, you have a USB Thumb Drive that contains the “PROFILE” of [YOUR NAME]. Included, are all documents, desktop, pictures, videos, and almost all stuff you had on your previous computer.

The only task you have is to IMPORT (Copy) the saved Profile to the new computer Profile.

Any competent Computer Tech can do this, such as the Geek Squad at Best Buy or any Computer Shop, however the procedure is very simple.

Here are the instructions:
