Gaming Windows Easy Transfer problems

[dayjay]

I recently got a new HP laptop and I was hoping that I could transfer all of my stuff using the easy transfer cable but I've now run into some problems.

The first problem is that office 2010 wants the product key which I don't have. Is there any way I can properly transfer it onto my new laptop?

The second problem is firefox passwords and bookmarks. I tried the appdata trick on my second attempt at a transfer but that doesn't seem to have worked.

Is there any way to fix this? Should I delete the accounts on my new laptop and try again?

Managed to fix the firefox problem, turns out my profile did transfer it was just that there was already another ff profile on the new laptop so I just copied and replaced it with the old one.

For future reference, I recommend MozBackup when transferring Firefox profile data. It's a really nice application which allows you to select exactly what it is you want to backup from your Firefox install and then allows you to restore it on one or several other machines.

I have to run into this problem. Microsoft office is a pain in the ass when it comes to keys. I think you may have to end up " getting a new key to typ fo free" or just call microsoft if you aren't a pirate and get things sorted out.

Well for office a quick Google search led me to this .

Found a new problem, whenever I try to open steam it gives me "Steam.exe (main exception): Unable to write to current folder" but I can open it when I run it as administrator. I read somewhere that having Norton installed may have something to do with it.

Wouldn't the product key be in the registry? If so, you could probs navigate to it and get the key there.

Get your self a copy of "EVEREST Ultimate Edition" when you start it up look on left under software and in there under licences wella there you go every licence on your comp!

The Steam error is likely due to it trying to acess files but because you transferred they are in different places now.

I tried the produketky program, but when I inputted the key that I found from my old laptop office said that it wasn't valid. What now?
