Data Migration

What is Data Migration? Data migration is a process of transferring old data, from one room to another. It can be because you purchased a new computer and you will be donating the old one and you still need the files and want to save it. It's also possible that your computer got infected with a virus or spyware where you want to erase everything first then restore the data later on, or maybe you want to eliminate your desktop completely and just use your laptop. Before starting the data transfer, check all the files you have and put them in the group. This will assure that you will not be saving junk files that you don't really need at all. It will help if you create separate folder and label them like music, photos, videos, movies, documents, etc. After sorting and labeling the files, you also have an option to compress the files.

This simple process will let you save precious hard disk space. There are different ways to migrate data.
