When you are moving to a new PC, one of the most important things to do is to transfer personal data and settings from one Windows installation to another one. This is not an easy task as it involves transferring your personal files from different locations on your PC to another Windows installation. Transwiz is a free app which allows you to transfer user profile data and settings between computers that are as simple as it is powerful.
Using this app, you can easy move data from one PC to another using the wizard interface.
The app has a wizard interface. You do not have to install the app as it is portable. In the next step, you need to select the profile you want to take a backup and transfer. If you are using the current account, you will have to log off and use another account to log in.
Transwiz will pack your existing personal data and settings into a standard zip archive for easy transfer to another computer. The Wizard will then unpack the archive on the new computer and restore your user profile – automatically reconfiguring the profile as necessary for the new Windows installation. Transwiz can transfer profile data from Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10, and to machines running Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. You can use the same archive file to transfer your user profile to and from 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.
