software can do it faster than a wall switch??

I had Acronis last Christmas, and it didn't work on my previous XP computer when the entire system crashed and refused to restart. Not even with the Acronis emergency disk. And why not, you might ask, because software is no protection when the motherboard dies. Well it was nine years old.

Trekkie, I'm not ignoring your comments, I just don't want to do anything I don't understand, particlarly anything that the factory put on here. You'll notice from bagginsbill's comments that I didn't know what 'move' meant. I've never used it to transfer files.
