See your peripheral device’s user guide for installation information and tips.
Because most installation software is periodically updated, you should also
check the manufacturer’s Web site for software updates.
Installing your old programs
You probably use some programs that did not come installed on your new
convertible tablet PC, such as personal finance software, graphics programs, or
games.
Spend some time going through your old computer’s Start
and Programs menus,
making note of any programs you want to install on your new convertible
tablet PC. Locate your original program installation CDs and installation
guides. Your original CDs and guides should contain any serial numbers or
product ID keys that may be required for program installation and registration.
Remember to check the publisher’s Web site for important program updates.
If you have trouble after installing your old programs, you can restore your
convertible tablet PC’s previous settings using System Restore.
