How to transfer already installed software to a new PC ?

Whenever we format out PC, we need to install all the necessary utilities again. If we don't have a backup of that installer, we have to re download the file. In order to get rid of this difficulty, we have a great solution named as PickMeApp. With this, you can transfer your programs anywhere, anytime.

But, here is a dis advantage. This application is not currently designed to store personal data. It captures the programs you’ve installed and make the package in the default Download directory in your system. Although it doesn’t capture programs like Adobe flash or any default Apps that are associated with the system languages so its bit of annoying but not a big deal. You can get those manually.

How to use ?

Step 1 : Tick the programs you want to capture.
Step 2 : Making the Package. Now all you’ve to do is to copy down the package which is probably saved in your download directory.

Step 3: Deploy the Package to new Computer
Get that package into another PC and start PickMeApp. NO NEED TO INSTALL !
It will automatically read the installed programs and the captured programs from your Package. You can select which programs should be installed or in the middle you can choose the Install Package to install all the programs. Once again it doesn’t save your personal data related to the software. So you will have to get it manually.

Download it from developers' site.

How to Run Portable Google Chrome from a USB Flash Drive


Download the Portable Google Chrome installer from this link:
http://stadt-bremerhaven.de/download-manager.php?id=250
   The installer is a 7zip extractor. To get Portable Google Chrome set up on a flash drive, click the “…” button and choose the flash drive. Click Extract.The “…” button is a browse button. You would click on Computer and then the appropriate drive. When the extraction is complete, you may use the portable version of Chrome right away. Browse your flash drive and double-click its icon. You will notice that the language is set to German by default. If you speak and read German, that is fantastic. On the other hand, you may not. Click the wrench button in the upper right corner of the screen and select Options. In this demonstration, only a few of the words are in German and everything else is in English. Usually, it is all in German. Select “Under the Hood” and under the Web Content section, click the “Languages and spell-checker settings” box.
You will see the language list and it may already have English (United States) as the default, but some content is still going to come up in German, so click Add at the bottom left of the screen and select the appropriate language.
Click OK. Your browsing history is saved to the flash drive.

Note : The overall speed is generally slower than the PC non-portable version.
