OK, so I have been given a new machine at work (more RAM, faster processor, more disk space) and I’m in the middle of migrating all my old data to the new box.

I’m the kind of person that will forget to move something across before blowing an old PC away, only to remember it about 30 minutes after losing it forever. For this reason, I’m putting together a list of the important things that one should copy over.

So far, I’ve copied the obvious* :

• My Documents
• IE, Chrome and FireFox bookmarks
• Local MSDN image files
• Drive-level data folders (e.g. c:\ImportantStuffForProcessXYZ)

But I was hoping someone else could suggest anything else I may have missed. Either leave a comment here, or send me a tweet and I’ll update the post for future reference.

* This is not an exhaustive list – nobody really want to hear about an obscure folder that contains my todo list, do they?
