What you probably did not expect, however, is to find out that one of your favorite programs, Picasa, is now retired.What if there was a way to make the process simple and hands-off? What if there was a way to automate it so that I don’t have to do anything? Or at least nearly nothing? Would that be worth something? To me, yes, it would.
Now you may be asking yourself – if I already have it on my old computer, can I simply transfer Picasa to the new computer? It turns out, you can. Today we will learn how to transfer Picasa from one computer to another, including all of your specific preferences and presets – and all of your photos and pictures. The transfer will include all of the software packages associated with Picasa, all photos and pictures stored in it, photo folders, the Picasa database, as well as Picasa settings and associated files (even the pictures you have imported within the program itself as raw data). There are two primary ways to copy Picasa to another computer – manual copy and automatic copy. We will cover both in this guide, although if you prefer to just skip to the easier, automatic option, you can click here for automatic transfer of Picasa from one computer to another. Since Picasa is officially retired, this is the best way to keep it – hopefully forever. Manual transfer of Picasa to a new computer Transferring Picasa manually is not impossible, and if you attempt to do so, it can be pretty tedious, and if you do not know what you are doing, things can end up breaking. Of course, you can also use the automatic alternative instead, which does not involve this kind of manual work (see below).
To manually transfer Picasa, you will first need to backup your current Picasa installation. It is typically located in %LocalAppData%\Google\ The next step is to copy the Picasa database and folders from the old computer. Once done, you will need to copy that folder to the new computer.
