Migrate System Windows10 and Data

Thread needs solution

Hi,

Is there a way to easily migrate the windows 10 system and data drive from an old PC to a new one ? It's like time capsule with apple computer, you can migrate/restore all the system and data from an old Mac to a new one.

Thanks

Xavier, welcome to these public User Forums.

You can migrate the whole Windows OS drive with all applications etc by using Backup & Recovery.

The process, in outline, would be to make a Disk & Partitions backup of the OS drive and store this on an external drive.  Next, you would create the Acronis bootable Rescue Media and use this to boot your new computer, then Recover your backup to that new computer.

Note: the process above is very simplified as there are other factors to be considered. 

If your new computer comes pre-installed with Windows 10, then I would strongly recommend making a full Disk backup of that computer before attempting any migration from the old one.
