It's fast, it's easy
This was by far the easiest of many computer migrations I've done, partly due to improvements in the Windows Easy Transfer software and partly due to the cable. Be sure to install all your software on the new computer before doing the transfer so your software settings can be transferred. That's especially handy for Outlook. One item that doesn't move: fonts. If you've acquired additional fonts beyond the ones that come with Windows, you'll have to move those separately, so be sure to get them before you recycle the old computer.
