What's an easy way to take all my music stuff, DAWs, and all songs etc. Want to keep in this computer but want to send it all to my new computer, any suggestions?
Thanks
Critter

You can copy/move individual files with Acronis. There are some free ones that will do that also, check here https://www.lifewire.com/free-backup-software-tools-2617964As you know data is not problem as you can copy data but your programs can be a problem. You may have to deactivate, move, then reactivate them. Hopefully you wouldn't have to use the install disks. Good luck.

Acronis does have some tools to move a complete working configuration to another computer, but in general, the usual procedure is to re-install your applications (any data you create can just be copied over, but apps need to be installed to properly write their information into the Windows registry.
Also, be aware that imaging between machines (such as using Acronis) may result in the application detecting a different computer signature and requiring you to re-authenticate. Whether you can keep the software operational on both machines depends on the license (I have some apps that let me install to multiple machines; others may only be installed to one machine at a time).

I realize the daw programs will have to be reinstalled, I should have said the songs themselves. Biab, Reaper, Mixcraft 7, etc. those files are what I want to transfer and at the same time leave them in my old machine. It seems I can transfer them on disk, etc. but I want to keep the same files on the old machine. I hope that makes sense.
Thanks

Thanks Here is what I would do. Get an external HD like this: https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-Portable-External-STEA1000400/dp/B00TKFEEAS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1480514512&sr=1-1&keywords=external+hard+drivesPlug the HD into your old computer and copy all of your songs to it. Then plug the HD into your new computer and copy all of the songs on to it. Now you have three copies of your songs, one on each computer and a backup on the external. Store the external on a shelf or better yet off premises.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
