What Nobody Tells You Before You Upgrade a Computer

What Nobody Tells You Before an Upgrade


"I just bought a new computer and now my printer doesn't work. It works fine on the old one! The only drivers I can find are being blocked by Windows Security. And I can't install or activate my Office 2016 or my Quicken 2000!?"

It's a completely reasonable thing to expect. The printer works. The software works. You've used the same setup for eight years without a problem. So why wouldn't it work on a newer, faster, better machine?

The honest answer is that "newer" doesn't just mean "the same thing, but faster." When you skip several years between upgrades, you aren't taking one step forward. You're jumping across a gap where the rules changed several times while your old device quietly kept doing things the old way.

This article's aim is to try to cover why that happens, what usually breaks, and how to plan an upgrade so you aren't caught off guard.

This guide will walk you through everything you need to know before, during, and after a computer migration. There are several things you can do ahead of time to make the process faster and more successful; with less surprises!
