Micro > My son in law brought me a newly acquired small desktop with windows 10 on it. I would have to be able to transfer all my operating system and programs onto this new puter in order to use it..
That's a tall order. Not sure how to accomplish that.

If one is wanting to put win-7 on the 'new box' . . One should see if the new box has win-7 drivers for it, and download them first.
Buy a new SSD drive the same size as the Win-7 drive. Buy an external drive (if you don't already have one.) Download AOMEI. Install AOMEI on the win-7 box. Create a backup of the entire Win-7 drive. (Saved to the external drive.)
Install the new hard drive in the new box (and save the original drive from the new box). 'Restore' the AOMEI image onto the new drive in the new computer. Shut down, restart, install drivers . . . And check and see if everything doesn't work the way you like it.

P.S. I remember the old IDE hard drives . . . then the new SATA drives . . . Now they got this teeny little 'NVME' SSD drive . . looks like a teeny little circuit card that fits into a special connector on the motherboard. And I bought two of them at Walmart (cheap) by mistake.
I had to buy a Win-11 computer . . . and I opened it up and said "Where's the Hard Drive?" Which is when I learned about MVME memory boards. But at least the box does have the plugins for conventional SATA drives.
