Migrating from one pc to another…….quickly

Yesterday I received my new work laptop. Luckily it took me less than half an hour to move everything I needed across to it.

I use dropbox for all my documents. Installed this on the new laptop and BAM five minutes later I had all the documents on the new machine. The other fantastic thing I use is Xmarks which sync’s all Firefox bookmarks and passwords.

The only thing that took the time was installing all the apps, programs and utilities. However I have seen this as a good opportunity to have a clear out and not install any that I don’t use!

DropBox

I’m assuming some of you who read this blog already have or use DropBox. However I’m sure there are some of you that don’t.

DropBox is a fantastic service which will sync a folder(s) to any computer (Windows, Mac or Linux as well as the iPhone app) you have it installed on. I have it syncing “my docs” folder from my work pc to my home machine and my laptop. So I can always edit/update/view the documents i need for work.

If you don’t have it I would appreciate you signing up using this link As it gives both yourself and me an extra 250mb on top of the 2gb that you get by default!

I also use it to sync my football manager saved game. so i can play the game on any of the machines i have FM installed on

:-D
