Original Abstract Submitted
In some implementations, a computing device may configure a new device based on a current state of an old device, including settings, preferences, and other user data. The data may be transferred from the old device to the new device, and then relocated according to a manifest that details positions of the data on the old device. The destination device may be rebooted into a configuration mode to allow for the relocation of the transferred data, and then rebooted again to configure the destination device to provide access to the data in its respective relative locations on the destination device.
