files transfer wizard will overwrite and how?

[Guest]

I have a new laptop, an old laptop and an old desktop. The old laptop has
been in use recently, but I have some information I would like to transfer
from the desktop as well. Some files, outlook messages and contacts are twice
present on the desk and on the laptop.
I have run F.A.S.T on (from) the old laptop and it worked. The question is:
if I run F.A.S.T on the old desktop, will it delete all the stuff transferred
from the laptop before? Or will it leave everything and add new things?

It will generally leave the old and add the new to it.

However if both the old laptop and the old desktop have an identical
file name in an identical location you will likely end up with just a
single file, and I am not certain if that will be the newest version
based on file date or if it will be the one from the last machine that
you transferred.

Good luck
