About this tag
Application transfer on Windows involves moving programs, settings, and user data from one PC to another, often during a migration to a new device or after a fresh install. Microsoft provides built-in tools and cloud-based solutions to streamline this process, though users may encounter challenges with license keys, application compatibility, and preserving personalized configurations.
