Hi was wondering if anyone could help, my neighbour is 85 and loves photoshop and has ordered a new pc build, which he recieved yesterday. He has asked me if i can make his new pc look like his old pc, however his new pc has windows 10 on it his older one has win 7, I have tried for hours to try to find a way of porting his many many many programs, and 1 tb of personal files to his new machine. His personal files are no problem , obviously......but he want his programs over on his new build too. And if possible his desktop to look similar. I thought of maybe, installing windows 10 on his old hard drive then cloning it across to his new m.2 ssd. however his uefi bios, will not allow me to get around a windows managment partitiion on it. and certainly wont let me boot to the old hard drive to install windows 10 on it. obviously i'm trying to make this as easy as possible for me ...i dont want to end up have to reinstall his many many programs and start from scratch, does anyone have any ideas. before you ask yes ive taken out the m.2, tried to boot from the flash drive with windows 10 on it but it wants to upgrade from the desktop,etc..and not through the flash drive...please reboot etc etc. Amy help would be very welcome, cheers Smile

You can set up the classic start menu using this link https://ninite.com/. You might wonder if you can move programs easily, but free Adobe Photoshop CS2 downloads are available at https://www.techspot.com/downloads/3689-...p-cs2.html

For most software, the best approach is to save your settings if available. If not, you can typically locate configuration files in user directories. I switched to a more straightforward settings system because managing highly customized options proved difficult.
