Is it possible for me to copy the Excel program that I have on my home PC and copy it to my new laptop?

If you have the Excel program on a CD then it's no prob. Without a CD it's simply impossible, period.\n\nOr do you mean you have the whole Excel installer task on your desk top, then it's possible of course.

Yes, you can, as long as you uninstalled it from your old computer.  Just install it with the CD, and if you have any problems with the installation, call up Microsoft, and explain what you're doing, and they can guide you through the process to validate the registration.\n\nYou might also consider OpenOffice, since this is a free, open source office suite highly comparable to MS Office, and you won't have the licensing problems.

Possibly, but I wouldn't trust it too much. If, as I suspect, you are trying to import/export with the spreadsheet program within Works, it might work, but lower your expectations. In my opinion, if you are using QuickBooks Pro, you should have MS Office too, so that you can be more professional. There are many benefits to using Office rather than Works.

The short answer: Yes\n\nThe long answer: \n\nIt really depends. Do you have enough space on the notebook hard drive to accomodate all of the files from the desktop machine? If so, you can use the Windows Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to transfer your files.\n\nAre you looking to have an exact copy of your desktop, including applications and installed programs? Well, there's a way to do that as well, it's just a pain in the butt: Make an image of the hard disk on the desktop computer using software such as Acronis True Image or Norton Ghost. Then restore the image to the notebook. Once the image is restored, the operating system will start asking for a boatload of drivers since a lot of your hardware will be different from the hardware on the desktop. If you have all of your drivers, you should now have an exact copy of your desktop machine on a portable computer.\n\nYou can also use an internal adapter and use XCOPY in dos....\n\nBut once again, the short answer is: Yes, it can be done.

Yes, this can be done.  If you're running Windows 2000 or XP, do the following:\n\n1.  make sure you can view hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer.\n2.  Open Outlook Express on the new PC.  Go to File, Import, Messages, Outlook Express 6, Import mail from an OE6 store directory.\n3.  go to the slaved hard drive in that dialogue, then go to &#92;&#92;documents and settings&#92;(your username)&#92;local settings&#92;application data&#92;identities&#92;{bracketed hex number}&#92;Microsoft&#92;Outlook Express\n\nand complete the import.  \n\nIf you need the address book, it's under &#92;&#92;documents and settings&#92;(your username)&#92;application data&#92;Microsoft&#92;Address Book.

The previous answers assume there are no DLLs / program components saved outside the default program install folder, and there are no registry keys needed for the software, and that the software does not use a dongle to prevent unauthorized copying.\n\nThe short answer is, depending on the program, it may suffice to simply copy the .exe file, or program folder, to your drive, then move it to another computer.\n\nHowever, most programs require certain registry entries in order to work; others require certain libraries to exist on the computer, which may not be located in the program folder itself; and others configure themselves to your computer specifically, using a hardware component (dongle) to run.\n\nAlso, it violates most software licenses to operate the same program with the same registration number on two computers.\n\nIf you are trying to transfer a program from your old PC to a new Windows PC, you can use the files and settings transfer wizard, possibly, to move the program.\n\nThere are also commercial PC transfer programs that will do a better job of moving software than the file and settings wizard.\n\nIn short, your thumb drive idea probably isn't going to work, and even if you can get it to work, you're probably violating the software's license.

As far as I know it's not possible. You'll have to use Word or a similar program like in OpenOffice.org

Just put your old hard drive in as a slave drive and then copy the files you want to the new hard drive. You obviously cannot get programs (unless it is just a single exe. file and nothing else) because it has to be installed and it is a different operating system.

Since your requirement is simple, I suggest you to better to develop a small program by yourself by using MS Excel or MS Access. These softwares are available in all the PCs.

It is possible. You will need a CD of Windows or an I386 directory on your computers. \n\nIt is worth pointing out that both your PC and laptop should have some sort of recovery CD or Windows CD. If you are trying to install the same version of Windows on the laptop as the desktop and you use the same licence key, it will not work. Each copy of XP is licenced to an individual computer. Microsoft WILL detect that it is not the same PC that it was originally installed and will not activate your copy of Windows.\n\nCheck out microsoft.com/support and type your question there.

If both of the PCs are desktop PCs, just take out the hard drive from your old PC and put it as secondary drive in your new PC. It should be automaticaly found and you can either keep it like that or copy all your files (like from one folder to another) and then move back the old drive. If you think you can't do this, you can also go to best buy or circuit city and for about $85 they will do it for you.

The easiest way would be to take the hard drive out of the laptop and hook it up to another PC.  There's no need to buy anything extra if you've got an extra bay available.  \n\nHere's a good tutorial for it:\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_6030_install-second-hard.html\n\nWhen you're done copying, just unhook it from the data cables and power supply.  That's it.

Hi,\n\nI'm assuming you already have pcAnywhere installed on both of your computers and know how to use it. Connect your laptop to the host computer(source of your files) and use the built in file transfer tool in pcAnywhere to copy all Windows 3.11 files to your laptop. The file transfer icon is one of the buttons displayed at the top.\n\nGood luck!

If you are a legitimate owner of the software, you should have the original install media(floppies, CD, etc). If so, uninstall the software from the original machine and reinstall it on the new machine.\n\nThe only way to transfer the program to a new PC would involve make an image of the hard disk (use Ghost or equivalent) and load it on the new PC... Then load the operating system UPGRADE onto the new PC. There is no guarantee that the program will run under the new operating system, however.

Making a backup copy of anything is a personal choice; even though it could be illegal.\nHere is a program that will do it:\n\nhttp://www.blazemp.com/\nBest wishes.

You can Use a Flash Disk....or get another PC or laptop from your friends or relatives...connect your PC with it<using a USB cable> and establish a network between the 2 PCs...and send the files to the laptop...then Format your PC..and send the files back again to your PC....you can also buy a DVD burner...i recommend you do that...cause you can store large amount of data on the DVD<minimum 1 GB>....so you'll transfer you're files very fast....i think you should pick the cheapest way...a flash memory...good luck :)
