    Probably the easiest is to remove the hdd from the old computer and use something like these.

    Copy / paste works for data, but they will need to reinstall all programs. Can not transfer them.

    I recently used the Windows file/transfer wizard and it worked fine for email settings (outlook express) Browser favorites, and general computer prefs. Programs need to be reinstalled.

    I burned the data file to a CD to complete the transfer.
