How to Move Files to a New PC After Windows Dropped a Tool

Image
If you are setting up a new computer, you may want to move files to a new PC without fuss. Until recently, Windows 11 had a built-in way to do that over your home network. Microsoft has now retired it, and the replacement works differently. Here is what changed and the options you still have. What Microsoft Removed Windows 11 included a feature called PC-to-PC Migration. During setup of a new computer, it could copy files and settings straight from your old PC to the new one, without the cloud in between. Microsoft's own release notes for the September 22, 2026 preview update (KB5124010) say: "PC-to-PC Migration is no longer available." The same removal appears in the October 13, 2026 security update (KB5127648), which reaches everyone on supported Windows 11 versions. Microsoft points people to Windows Backup instead. Microsoft has not said why it removed the tool, according to news coverage. Because the rollout was gradual, you may notice the change on a different ...

Fake Software Download Traps: What Cracked Installers Do

You search for a free copy of a pricey app, click a polished download button, and run the installer. Nothing seems wrong. But a fake software download can quietly install extra programs that use your internet connection and computer power to make money for someone else. That is the picture Microsoft Threat Intelligence painted in research published on November 3, 2026. The details are technical, but the lessons are plain enough for anyone who installs software. What Microsoft found Microsoft describes an evolving campaign aimed at people searching for cracked commercial software, free games, activators, plugins and unofficial utilities. The lures it listed include cracked audio plugins, PC games, Roblox executors, auto-clickers, driver tools and fake utility installers. The download pages can look professional. Microsoft's write-up shows an example "auto clicker" page with product screenshots, feature descriptions and repeated gold download buttons. Run the file and...

Travel Booking Data Is Being Used Against You: How to Spot a Scam That Knows Your Itinerary

Image
A scam email used to be easy to spot: wrong name, vague details, bad grammar. That is changing. Breaches at airline booking systems mean criminals can now send emails that quote a traveller's real name, real flight and real confirmation number. Here is what has been reported and the habits that keep you safe. A Breach Behind the Booking On October 31, 2026, Malaysia Airlines published a notice about a cybersecurity incident involving Amadeus, its third-party reservation technology provider. The airline said the incident "may have affected certain customer information processed through Amadeus between August 2023 and September 2026." It also said its own IT systems were not compromised and that there is "currently no evidence that financial information has been accessed." According to CNA, Malaysia Airlines joins Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines and Asiana Airlines among carriers that have reported customer data exposure linked to the Amadeus incident. Amadeus ...

It's Live: Moobox Opened Its Doors Tonight

Image
Tonight at 7:00 PM, the countdown on moobox.app hit zero — and Moobox stopped being a project on my screen and became a public beta that anyone can step into. Moobox is the streaming app I've been building in my spare hours: live Punjabi and Hindi TV and radio, right in a browser tab. No downloads, no dish, no cable box — open the page and watch. Why I built it: our community's channels live scattered across a dozen apps and boxes. I wanted one simple tab that just works — for my family, and for families like mine everywhere. The founding promise: everyone who creates an account during the beta is a founding member, and today's features stay yours at no cost. That stands. What's next: more channels regularly, a native desktop app and an Android app in development, and constant small improvements — the email list hears about every one first. Thank you to everyone who followed the countdown. Come in, look around, and tell me what you think. Watch: Moobox...
