Data can be transferred without issue.  Programs cannot -- they must be reinstalled onto the new system.  
Good day my present 17 R4 laptop is dying, I plan to get a new one. Can I transfer old 17 R4 data and programs to new m17 R4 or R5 laptop?  Or do I need to install all my programs one by one again?  Thanks ! Maka
17 R4, transfer data to new m17 R4 of R5, doable?
