Angela,
     This is really about moving ANY of the data from the old computer 
to the new computer (all of your folders of documents, etc.). Have you 
managed to do that? Since you are not just changing machines but 
changing operating systems at the same time, it might take you a bit 
learning how Windows 8 does things.

     WHAT did you save on the memory stick? You say "original", I hope 
by that you didn't mean the original PROGRAM but the original DATA. It 
is the DATA you will be moving from the old machine to the new; the 
programs you will be reinstalling on the new machine, a different 
process than simply moving.
