How to transfer applications?

Question

Windows

Guys, there was a desire to transfer all the necessary software from the current windows 7 to a new screw with windows 10. You need to save all the settings. Maybe there is some kind of app for this? Hand transfer from the users folder, I think, is a bad idea.

Answer 1

There is no and cannot be a universal solution: only the application itself knows what and where it has and is written.

Answer 2

No

> Hands to transfer from the users folder, I think, the bad idea.
Not at all, it depends on the applications. If the application is not from the time of Windows XP and meets modern requirements, then user data must be in certain places (for example, in AppData\Roaming). For example, Firefox stores the entire profile there, so there is nothing to transfer besides it (that is, it is enough to transfer the Mozilla subfolder, and absolutely everything user, including the current open tabs, will be saved). Of course, there is also Documents, where configs also often fall (SC2 and D3 now store settings there) and C:\ProgramData, which stores data common to all, if any.
Of course, this is not a universal solution, but if the software does not require you to know where it puts what, and manual settings, then it probably stores the settings in AppData.

Answer 4

1. Upgrade to Windows 10 while keeping apps.
2. Copy the partitions to the new hard drive with something like Norton Ghost 11/12 (Disk to Disk copy)
3. Use Windows 10 with saved applications on the new drive.
