First you'll need to Install Legacy on the new computer - use either a CD containing the installation program or download it (Legacy) from the web. This will install Legacy's program files, any missing system or other shared files, and will put the correct data in your operating system's registry. After Legacy is installed copy the following files from the CD you made: Your *.usr files to the Legacy folder. Any *.Lic files that don't already exist in the Legacy folder. Any Geo*.* files that don't already exist in the Legacy folder. Any files in your Legacy\Geo folder. Your data files to their folder (usually "Data" in your Legacy folder). Also don't forget to copy your pictures and any other multimedia files. Good luck.
