m4500 to Lattitude6420
Hi there. I am a newbie in computer science. I have a nice Precision M4500 and recently I bought a Latitude E6420 as an emergency backup for M4500. I like m4500 pretty much. Very fast good workstation. But it is getting old (relatively) and recently I have created full system back-up and a system repair disk. Now I would like to transfer full system, or at least installed software, from my Precision M4500 to my Latitude E6420. M4500 has I7 processor, 1 gig video card, 4 gig memory, windows7-32bit, The latitude has I5 processor, 500mb video card, 4 gig memory, windows7-32bit. Computers are manufactured at about same year, 2012 or 2013 and purchased refurbished from Dell. Please, could some computer guru here guide me on the process and options.
Sincerely, John Petrovich

Because of the registry incompatibilities between the Precision M4500 and the Latitude E6420, only the data files and folders can be transfered, all applications and programmes need to be reinstalled from their CD/DVD's, or downloaded from the publisher's website.
