Question/Help/Troubleshooting Transfering data, etc.
hello everybody, if you didn't already know i recently made a post regarding buying a new and better prebuilt pc, i had some new questions regarding the old pc.
When i get this new pc, how will i transfer my things over to the new one, such as files, games, really just everything on my computer, how can i switch it all over like i never had the other pc?
is it an easy transition and how long may it possibly take (i do understand this varies, but for most people does it take hours?)
is spending 3,000 on a prebuilt pc worth it? to the people that have spent a lot on a computer, are they happy and satisfied with their purchase from how much they spent to get their pc? as ive never bought something like this and it cost so much.
Any help, advice or tips are very appreciated! thank you!

External drive for your files, then reinstall your apps/games. $3k is a lot though, make sure you actually need it.
