Hello there,
I'm building a new shuttle mini-pc that will replace my old tower system. What is the best way to transfer things like data, email and network settings from my old pc to the new? Your suggestions would be appreciated.

hello you could try networking them together with patch cable and two nic,s you planing on useing m.e as the o/s in new computer? if so and keeping same hard drive just goto start,run,regdit,hkey local machine,enum key delete enum key than shut off old computer and install hard drive in new computer and reboot. the other way is remove old drive install in new.boot to safe mode goto device manager remove every thing reboot. the other if your installing a larger drive is clone the old drive to new one than do one of the above.
