Compressing them saves space, but also adds a few extra steps during the archiving process, during the spot-checking process (when you'll open a few files to test that they copied correctly), and in the future when you need to access your data. Whether you choose to compress (Zip, Stuffit, etc.) your files first is up to you. Seeing as you've got that clean slate of a new computer, why not keep it clean? I recommend archiving files older than three years, and in many cases, anything older than six months, but it very much depends on what kind of files you have and how you use them. Consider archiving them instead of putting them on your new machine. Old computers typically have old files on them that you don't necessarily want to delete forever, but you probably won't need to access any time soon. Setting up a brand new machine marks an ideal moment to ditch old files by archiving them, and thus cleaning up your files and folder structures.
You'll almost always find instructions or wizards for walking you through the process.īut before you start to transfer everything, think about whether you really need it all. Transferring your computer's contents from one machine to another is fairly easy, especially when the new and old systems are on the same platform (Windows to Windows, Mac to Mac, etc.), and moving between systems can be simple too.
