Hello. I have a new laptop and I am not totally sure of how to set it up. It is Windows 11.

How do I install office as an application on my toolbar? Now it seems to be web based.

How do I add additional email accounts to Outlook?

What is the easiest way to transfer bookmarks for firefox?

Thanks.

Hi:

Regarding Firefox bookmarks transfer:
Are you asking how to transfer Firefox bookmarks from your old computer to your new computer?

If so, these tutorials explain how:

Thanks. Can I move Microsoft office from my old to new PC or must I reinstall it?

Hi:

You will need to install Office on the new computer, ***BUT***...

Licensed software - such as MS Office - can be transferred to a different computer.
But one generally needs to deactivate the license on the old computer first (and then uninstall from the old computer).
One then installs the program/suite on the new computer and activates the license.
(This is for a program or suite with a 1-computer license.)
