Copying Existing Files to the Xi3 NUC from an Older PC
If you have files, photos, videos or other forms of data on your existing computer that you would like to move onto your Xi3 NUC, there are
several ways to accomplish this. If you have a lot of files to copy and you have access to a DVD or CD burner, you can copy these files onto
a DVD or CD and then follow the steps outlined above in the Installing Programs from a DVD or CD or Installing Programs from a USB
thumb drive sections above. You will be installing files instead of "programs." There are also numerous software applications that are
free, or for a nominal fee, that can be installed onto your Xi3 NUC and will walk you through the file transfer process step by step.
If you have only a few files to copy, however, you may choose to email the files to yourself as this is often the easiest way to move files
from one computer to another. Simply send an email to yourself from your old computer and attach the files you want to that email.
Then open the email on your Xi3 NUC and save the files onto your new Xi3 NUC.
Once you have successfully booted-up/turned-on your Xi3 NUC and have installed and/or transferred all of the Software Applications and
files/data onto your new machine, you're ready to start using your new Xi3 NUC.
