Hello,
I would like to purchase a new laptop as a back up to my current system. I would like it to be a mirror of my current system with libraries and crates in tact. I am running scratch live and video sl. Currently, my back up is my cd collection and I would really like to phase them and the players out. Can you offer me advice on how to accomplish this?

Thank you,
Sal Fama

Hi Let's Dance D.J.'s, Inc. ,

You can refer to our Laptop Buying Guide here: sera.to
This is only a guide and is essentially your decision as to which computer best suits your needs.

If you choose to buy another PC I understand that Windows Easy Transfer would be a solution to migrating your whole PC, User Apps and Settings to a new PC. Link here: windows.microsoft.com

Let me know if you have any further questions.

I watched the windows tutorial and it talked about files but not programs. Will I have to reinstall scratch live and video sl, or will that tranfer over as well?

Hi Let's Dance D.J.'s, Inc.,

I haven't used this application myself but my understanding is that it will copy across all User selected programs and data.
You may need to research this further.
