Next, you'll need to gather all the files associated with your project for easy transfer.

1. Select the project folder you want to transfer.
2. Copy the entire folder to ensure you include all associated media files and edits.
3. If your project includes additional media files stored elsewhere, make sure to copy those as well.
4. Once you have all necessary files, right-click on the project folder and select "Send to" > "Compressed (zipped) folder" to create a zip file for easy sharing.

Step 3: Transfer Files to the New PC

Now that you have your project in a compressed format, it’s time to move it to your new device.
