Knowing what to backup or transfer isn't always easy or obvious.

Many of your computer's settings and your personal preferences are hard to find or, even worse, they are hidden from view at the time your operating system was installed.  There are shared folders, profiles, network settings, dial-up settings, email configurations and many other considerations to keep in mind.
Just imagine losing all of your emails and contacts.

If you are redoing your computer from scratch or transferring your data to a new computer, you may want to
consult a professional to ensure that you can retrieve ALL of your valuable data.

There are some powerful softwares available to help ease this transition.  A good technician will have such software and can make your transfer painless.

Whether you are transferring files or settings, or transferring the entire contents of a disk or partition, consider consulting a technician.
