But that seems like an awful lot of work just to transfer your applications and documents. You could then use the Windows 98 disc that came with your new computer to upgrade the hard drive to Windows 98. And you'll have to remove the hard drive from the new computer and connect it to the old one, which entails opening up both cases and messing with cables and power lines.Īlso, I don't think it's possible to copy applications without also copying the operating system, which means you'd be transferring Windows 95 to your new hard drive. You'll need a program such as DriveCopy from PowerQuest ($30), which can copy the contents of one hard drive to another. Is there a smart way to do this?Ī: It can be done, but not easily. I am trying to avoid having to reinstall all my applications on the new computer. Q: I would like to copy all the files from my old hard drive on a Windows 95 computer to my new computer, which has Windows 98.
