I'm in the process of moving from an older DELL desktop to a newer DELL desktop I purchased on the Dell Auction site. Wow....they don't make this easy!
Moving all files from MS Word, MS Excel, PDF's, photos, etc. was easy using an external hard drive. Getting these files all put into the "right" places on the new unit has taken time but gone ok. Moving "favorites" in Internet Explorer and "bookmarks" in Firefox proved to be a challenge but finnally all seems to be in place but in alphbetical order vs. my "special" order but this can be fixed in each folder. I had a 3 license MS Office suite so getting this installed plus Open Office on the new machine went fine as well as AVG and more.
Now....I have on the "old" machine several e-mail accounts running through Outlook as the client and one e-mail account running through Outlook Express. Reading about this seems like a huge task to move and get all 3 Outlook and 1 Outlook Express account moved over with all history, etc. included. Any help or tips about moving this or does one need to breakdown and spend $$'s to get professional help? Thanks for any and all input and support!
