How To Transfer Files and Programs To New All-In-One PC

Got a new All-In-One (AIO) computer? This tutorial will show you how to move your programs and files from your old computer, to the new all in one.

This works for any model, and any old computer. For example, you can transfer from a Dell laptop to a new HP All-In-One, transfer from one All-In-One PC to another, or any other combination. And it’s OK to have different Windows versions, such as Windows 10 to Windows 11 All-In-One (or even transfer from a broken all-in-one PC).

A note on setup before we start: All-In-One computers have the benefit of having a built-in screen, so you don’t have to deal with separate monitors during your transfer. With that, keyboard and mouse are separate. Fortunately, our transfer approach accounts for that, too.

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

How to transfer to a new All-In-One computer

  1. Run Zinstall WinWin on your old computer (laptop / all-in-one / desktop).
    Note: WinWin is the transfer software. You can get Zinstall WinWin here.
  2. If you only have one keyboard / mouse, then after you have WinWin running on the old comptuer – switch your keyboard and mouse to the new All-In-One to continue there
  3. Run Zinstall WinWin on the new All-In-One PC
    1. You don’t need to do any configurations for the computers to connect – it’s automatic
    2. If the computers are already connect to same internet router, same Internet connection, or same wireless connection, you don’t need anything else
    3. If the computers are not connected at all, connect them with a network / Ethernet cable
  4. If you’d like to select which applications and files you want to transfer, press the Advanced menu. If you just want to transfer everything, you don’t need to go to the Advanced menu.
  5. Press “Go” on the All-In-One to start the transfer
