Installing your old programs

See your peripheral device’s user guide for installation information and tips.
Because most installation software is periodically updated, you should also
check the manufacturer’s Web site for software updates.
Installing your old programs
You probably use some programs that did not come installed on your new
notebook, such as personal finance software, graphics programs, or games.
Spend some time going through your old computer’s Start
and Programs menus,
making note of any programs you want to install on your new notebook. Locate
your original program installation discs and installation guides. Your original
discs and guides should contain any serial numbers or product ID keys that may
be required for program installation and registration. Remember to check the
publisher’s Web site for important program updates.
If you have trouble after installing your old programs, you can restore your
notebook’s previous settings using System Restore.
