New computer settings

libra10

I have just purchased a new Lenovo Windows 11 computer which is to be delivered this Tuesday.

There are few programmes downloaded on my present computer, Office, Roboform, ad blocker, and I prefer using Chrome for browser, which has a few extensions.

I will obviously save my documents and photos, but is there a quick way of setting up my new computer, with settings I already have without starting again from scratch?

Thanks for advice.

If you've looked into Google on the Chrome browser on your old PC, all the bookmarks, add-in etc. should sync on your new one after login.

@Vitor Thank you, I hoped that would be the case, but was unsure.

But if not you can copy the profile folder manually:

Office can be downloaded again by signing into office.com with your details, though you'll probably find the new laptop has a trial already that you can just sign into and it'll convert into whatever you have a licence for.

Ad-block if its the browser add-in should be in your Chrome profile, if not you can get it back off the Chrome store.
