New Computer Setup Checklist

A good computer setup is more than signing in. It should protect your data, install the right applications, remove unnecessary clutter and make migration predictable.

Update the operating system first

Install current security and reliability updates before moving all your data and software.

Set up backup and cloud storage

Decide where documents and photos should live before files spread across multiple locations.

Install only the software you use

Avoid copying years of unused utilities and old startup programs to the new machine.

Move data methodically

Verify documents, photos, email archives and browser data rather than assuming everything migrated.

Check printers, scanners and accessories

Test the devices you actually rely on before retiring the old computer.
