yes there is a lot of reinstallation particularly for software. If you have an ilm version of JAWS, later than version 5, you'll have to just lose a key, you can always get it reset on the freedom scientific website or through Sight aand Sound. reinstall office, back up your directories containing documents, say on to cd or DVD. You'll also need your internet connection details and information related to your email accounts. Backing up email accounts depends on which email client you use. I don't know of a way to do the dial-up connection but maybe someone else can help here. I just set mine up manually when I got a new machine recently. I think that with a new machine, it is best just to install software manually from the cd or downloaded file it came on. A pain I know but it helps insure the cleanest possible install.
