But how are you going to transfer your address book, e-mails, data files, Internet favorites, digital music and photos, specialized applications, desktop wallpaper and screen savers, and all your other personal paraphernalia, not to mention your application and system settings?

We’ve reviewed a variety of them (see http://go.pcmag.com/migration )—so now let’s take a look at how you can actually put them to use to help get your new PC set up just like your old one.
