How to transfer programs and files to Windows 11 - Zinstall (2024)

Got a new laptop with Windows 11? Or just want to upgrade to the latest and greatest? You will need a way to copy your applications, settings and files to Windows 11.

Windows 11 does not include any built-in “Easy Transfer” functionality.

Luckily, there is still a simple way to transfer programs, settings and files from Windows 10 to Windows 11 or from Windows 11 to Windows 11.

It’s automatic, too, so you don’t need to be a computer guru to use it.

There are 3 parts that are important to the transfer:

  • Files and data, such documents, pictures, music, pictures and emails
  • Settings, such as user profiles, emails, accounts, passwords, favorites, bookmarks, wallpaper and other personalization
  • Programs and Apps, such as transferring Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, Quickbooks, TurboTax, Firefox, Chrome, and other programs to the new computer
