Chapter 14: Moving from Your Old Computer
Reinstalling your old programs
Spend some time going through your old computer's
menus, making note of any programs you want to install on your new
computer. Locate your original program installation CDs and installation
guides. Your original CDs and guides should contain any serial numbers or
product ID keys that may be required for program installation and
registration. Remember to check the manufacturer's Web site for important
program updates.

installed on your new computer, such as personal finance
software, graphics programs, or games.

program, it is usually best to use the newer version than
to reinstall the old one.
