Question on copying from old to new computer?

I just got a new Windows 8 desk top to replace my Windows XP, that was running out of memory.
I use Outlook Express for saving important e-mails such as Insurance and my monthly utility bills they are in separate folders, under Storage.
Is there a way to copy these on a memory stick then paste them back on Outlook Express when I have the Windows 8 setup and running?
Is there also a way to save my favorites/bookmarks and paste them on the new computer.

The second part of your question is easier to answer, so let's start with it. In File Explorer, go to C:\Users\yourusername. There should be a Favorites directory showing, that can be copied into a similar directory on your W8 machine.

Now, as far as Outlook Express, it was superseded in Windows 7 by Windows Essentials (Windows Live Mail). If I remember correctly, you can export your e-mail database in Outlook Express, copy it onto a sufficiently large USB stick, and import it into Windows Live Mail. Importing instructions

Remember, under Windows 8, WLM will run only on the Desktop. You can create a Start menu tile for WLM, but it won't be live (i.e., show the number of new messages, etc.) the way the Mail application does.

Good luck. It sounds harder than it actually is.
