Nick, One approach is to run a program that converts the system into a virtual machine image. There are different codes for this depending on your virtualization software. (vmware, hyper v, virtualbox, etc.) Then you get a big (!) folder representing your old system that you can put on an external multi-terabyte drive and copy as needed.

Wondering how people are storing stuff. Are the days of buying larger and larger hard disks and never making any decisions over? [sigh} Note that cloud storage is not an option to me for half the year. Are people buying terabyte sized USB drives and running software from them or telling some software to store to them? How’s that work? Sorry to bother you with this. I know the rest of you have real work. Nick Nicholas S.
