If you backed up your System and you rare running Premium version, you can restore it to a new computer using Restore Anywhere feature.

I believe you can just download the software BUT if something happens to your machine and you need to reload it on a new machine before the year is out, I think you'll be required to buy another license. I prefer to actually have the disc so I have options at a later date.

get a external hard drive and copy all you pictures movies data to the back up drive you can only save data you cannot transfer programs you will need the cd or dvd to reinstall in the new system.

Any Data can be backedup. If its digital and on your PC/MAC than it can be "archived" or backed up.

Yes, if they are networked together you can file share, or with the proper software, you can transfer the entire image of the source disk to a new computer.

No, you can copy from your old hard drive to new drive or I took mine to Best Buy and had them transfer my OS and files I wanted to keep.

yes if you want to transfer your old info off of your old hard drive. in my case, my old hard drive was completely broke. so i couldn't transfer any info if i wanted to.

It does a perfect clone of your existing drive. All operating system, applications, settings, keys, passwords and data come over automatically. Keep you r old hard drive as a backup

I am not sure. I usually hook mine up to a computer. I believe the first time it installed a program. You could do that and then transfer to the hard drive. Sorry, I am not more helpful :)

If I get access to it for use on my current computer, will I be able to use it again when I replace the computer?

Connect it to your computer and copy all documents, music and videos to WD element, that easy. Best part when your computer dies all your document, music, etc. are saved and can be retrieve when you get a new computer.

No. smile. the version backed up from your old computer has files in it specific to that hardware. It would be nice, though, wouldn't it!

You Should Be Able To Download On Your New Computer With The Same License. I Think They Have A Customer Svc #. I Didnt Keep This Software I Got A refund

I see no reason why not. just pop the new drive in the old ones place, they hook up the same way. However be warned, all of your data will be lost in this process. You should have a windows sticker somewhere on your computer case that has your product key, all you need to do is find a copy of the windows version that you have, install it and put in that product key. To find the drivers that you need just go to dells website and download them from there. If you ever get stuck during the process, google is your best friend.

Hi! I hope so because the computer I have now let me down and I will need it for the new one... But I am sure you can, if not, you could make a copy from your computer to "download" it to your new one. I do not know how but I know you can do it.
