CHAPTER 10: Maintaining Your Computer
130
Installing your old programs
You probably use some programs that did not come installed on your new computer, 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 computer. 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 computer’s previous
settings using System Restore.
Tip
If your new computer comes with a newer version of a program, it is usually better
to use the newer version than to reinstall the old one.
