Bought a New Laptop......Question ???

[Betallsports]

How do I get my Favorites from My Old Laptop, to My New Laptop ???

Any way to copy them ?? or do I just have to Punch each one in on my New Laptop ?? ^<<^

 

[Presto]

Are you using firefox? Not exactly what you are after but something to consider is getting an xmarks account. It will upload all of your bookmarks to a database that you can then use from any computer.
Google has one as well, but I didn't like it.

I use Firefox, But Most of my Favs are on IE

 

[FairWarning]

If you have Firefox, you can transfer them with a flashdrive. Another was that takes longer is to send your bookmarks from one email to another and open them up on the new computer. To do this, you have to set up your mail first on the new computer.

in IE you go:

1) File
2) Import Export
3) Export to a File
4) Favorites.

Then you need to save to a hard drive, or an SD card or USB or whatever. Then after that put the hard drive to your new computer, go File, and Import

Thanks, I guess I will try that.

what operating system did u get, i want a new lappy but im waiting for the new windows

 

[gold64]

A New Dell advertises 'With Vista', all my other stuff is Windows XP. Will it be a smooth transition?

 

[SportSavant]

make sure if you buy a new one that you get a free upgrade to windows 7 coming out later. Im holding out till that is available.

i bought my laptop from tigerdirect.com so i could get xp instead of vista.

All my Tech buddies told me to get Vista, So that's what I got.

With a Free Upgrade to Windows 7

All you have to do is copy C:\users\"username"\Favorites from your old computer to your new computer. You can zip it and email it to yourself or copy it to a flash drive. Dump the contents into the Favorites folder on your new machine and they'll be there. If your previous machine was xp, they will be in C:\Documents and Settings\"username"\Favorites.

Yeah, my old laptop is XP. Sounds easy, I'll give it a try tomorrow.
Still copying some stuff on Disc and getting rid of things I don't need . Before I start setting up my new Laptop.

Yeah, they make them pretty Solid now.... Scary thing is, that I paid on $549 for this New one....When, my old one I paid $1300, and it's only 1GB

But now my Next Buy will be a PC Tower for the wife.

 

[Betallsports]

Also, what i like about this New one is I have a Full Number Keypad on the right of the Key Board....Which I have never seen before.

So the Laptop is like having a PC Key board

Oh yes. Wide screen and the number pad. Mines is not quite as nice as yours but those two things got me siked. I was like damn I can use this thing all the time and not have to always scoot to my PC to do certain things.
