On a related note, I am about to replace a 6 year old PC. It originally had Windows 7 and I upgraded it to Windows 10 about 3 years ago. The biggest pain about replacing a PC is reinstalling all of the software and resetting all of the personalized settings.

Can anyone recommend a software solution for migrating all of the software and settings from one Windows 10 PC to another? The last time I tried migration software was about 10 years ago and it seriously fraked up the new PC, enough that I ended up doing a factory reset. Since then I have simply reinstalled all of the software and settings one program at a time and it ends up being an all day project.

The “Windows Download Assistant” tool I downloaded from Microsoft kept all my existing software on Windows 7 without any changes or problems.

So looks to me like this is a better way to upgrade from 7 to 10, than using a Windows 10 DVD or USB to install a new Windows 10 system.
