We always worry how to transfer our computer stuff to a new PC don't we? And bookmarks are a big part of it.The process of transferring bookmarks to the new PC assumes that you have your bookmarks saved in the safe place. The "Documents" folder would be a safe place for it. Lets assume that you have your bookmarks saved under the file name "bookmarksnew" in the "Documents" folder. In order to transfer your bookmarks to the new PC you have to physically save this "bookmarksnew" file on the portable device first. That can be either a CD disk or a flash drive (or a pocket drive). This article assumes you have already created a "My Documents" folder on your new PC.. This article will explain how to use a pocket drive.
Steps
- Make sure your "bookmarksnew" file has the latest bookmarks information
Plug a pocket driver into your computer making sure to hear some short sound indicating it was plugged successfully- Click on Start button, and then click on "Computer" icon

Open "My Documents" folder with the "bookmarksnew" file on your current C:drive and- Minimize the window to a much smaller size but ensuring you see the file
Click on Pocket drive icon to open it up- Create a folder "My Documents" and open it
- Minimize the window to a much smaller size
Place 2 windows - your computer and a pocket drive - side-by-side- you should see a word "Documents" on both sides (shown on image by red arrow)
Drag your "bookmarksnew" file into the pocket drive and drop there >> it will save your file automatically (shown by blue arrow on above image)- 8Unplug pocket drive and bring it to the new PC
Plug it into your new computer, then click on the "Pocket drive" icon (see step #3) to open it up minimizing the window again but big enough to see your saved "bookmarksnew" file
Open a hard drive on the new computer- Open "My Documents" folder
