How to switch
Switching is as easy as 1, 2, 3
Using your Google Account, you can transfer everything from your old computer in three simple steps.
Step 1
Sign in to your Chrome
browser
First, grab your old Mac/Windows computer and make sure that you're signed in to your Chrome browser with your Google Account. This way all your bookmarks, passwords and settings will be saved for the switch.
Don’t have Chrome yet?
Step 2
Back up your files
FilesDownload Backup and Sync and sign in with your Google Account. Then upload your files from your old computer and SD cards to safely store them in Google Drive. You can also back up your files to an external hard drive which you can later connect to your HP Chromebook.
PhotosUpload your photos to Google Photos so that you can instantly access them from your phone, tablet and HP Chromebook. Click the 'Upload newly added photos and videos to Google Photos' option during Backup and Sync setup.
MusicAdd your favourite music collections to Music Manager, so that you can enjoy them on Google Play Music
Step 3
Sign in to your new
HP Chromebook
Make sure that you’re using the same Google Account that you used in Steps 1 and 2. You should find all your files ready and waiting when you open Google Drive. If you used an external hard drive, connect it to your HP Chromebook.
