3 Secure local data You are personally responsible for securing your own data. This checklist provides an overview of the data and settings that will be removed and that you will need to secure or reinstall later. On an AUAS Personal workstation, files can be stored locally in a number of locations. Files cannot be stored locally on an AUAS Basic workstation. Below is a list of possible locations: directly on the C: drive; in the Program Files folder for the programmes that you use (such as C:\Program Files\Adobe); Outlook archives: search your C: drive for locally stored.pst files. 3

4 Export favourites/bookmarks Internet Explorer favourites are stored on your W: drive in the Favorites folder. However, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome favourites/bookmarks are not stored. You will need to export these files yourself using the step-by-step guide below. Exporting Firefox bookmarks (favourites) to the W: drive 1. From the Start menu, open Firefox. 3. Select Show All Bookmarks. 4. Click on Import and Backup. 5. Select Backup. 2. On the top right-hand side, click on the Bookmark menu. 6. Go to the W: drive and select Save. 4

5 Exporting Chrome bookmarks (favourites) to the W: drive 1. From the Start menu, open Chrome. 3. Go to Bookmarks > Bookmark manager. 4. Click on Organize > Export bookmarks to HTML file. 2. On the top right-hand side, click on the three dots. 5. Go to the W: drive and select Save. 5

6 Check SURFdrive synchronisation As part of the migration to Windows 10, all locally stored documents will be deleted. If you use SURFdrive, check that it is connected and that your files have been synchronised using the step-by-step guide below. 1. In the taskbar, right-click on the SURFdrive icon. 3. When you open SURFdrive, you can immediately tell whether synchronisation is active by the green tick. 2. Select Settings. 4. Go to the Activity tab to check for synchronisation conflicts. 5. If SURFdrive is no longer connected, select Account at step 3 and then Log in. 6

7 Make a note of additional mailboxes in Outlook Do you have any additional or group mailboxes in Outlook; e.g. with address? Make a note of these, so you can restore them manually after the migration. Group mailboxes with addresses ending will be restored automatically. 7

8 Make a note of local printers Do you use a local printer? Make sure that you have made a note of its name. Local printers have names such as 01X22HPP006SPU on PRDPRINT0002. Go to Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers to check which printers have been installed. Ignore the Follow-Me printer; this one will be restored automatically during the migration. 8

9 Make a note of any installed (non-default) applications All locally installed applications will be removed. As part of your workstation's migration to Windows 10, a default set of applications will be installed. However, if you installed any applications from the Software Center, you will need to reinstall them manually. The same goes for applications that you installed on an AUAS Personal workstation. Back to Home 9

10 Make a note of icons placed on the taskbar Icons on the taskbar will not migrate to Windows 10. However, you can make a note of them and add them again after the migration. Back to Home 10

11 Make a note of shortcuts to favourite folders in Windows Explorer In Windows Explorer, you may have created shortcuts to favourite folders under Favorites on the left-hand side. They will not migrate to Windows 10. However, you can make a note of them and add them again after the migration. Back to Home 11
