Sorry for repeating this question every three years,
but every three years I change my laptop and I always have the same question:

How can I transfer my DVD Profiler to my new computer?

Thank you for helping me once again cause I am no specialist at all.

Run a backup from within Profiler on the old laptop, and after installing Profiler on the new laptop tell it you want to restore from the previous backup.  Make sure you backup to a USB drive or a network drive that both laptops can access.  Don't dispose of the old laptop until you make sure everything is up and running on the new one.

What scotthm said.

If your new Laptop is running the same OS as your old you may also want to take Microsoft's Migration Assistant into consideration.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Only if your old and new laptop have the same screen size, I mean number of pixels height and width.
Not too long ago I used the migration assistant where the new laptop had more pixels in height and width. It imported the font settings for explorer (not internet explorer), something you cannot set yourself easily, buried deep down in the registry somewhere. Horrible, I had to reinstal from the recovery partition.
(both systems were W7).

If it is important, say it. Otherwise, let silence speak.
