Copying saved Wireless Network settings

[yorkshirejames]

Hello,

Early next week, I hope to be able to send or take my poorly laptop somewhere, and get a replacement one.

I have saved probably a dozen wireless network passwords and settings on here, is there any way to either back these up or to transfer them to another laptop, so that I don't have to go to each location individually and find passwords etc again?

When I say passwords, these would be a mixture of passwords that need to go into the "view available networks" box and ones that get typed into the web browser.

Cheers
James

Not sure about Windows, but when I had to replace my MacBook, I did a timemachine backup and when I put that onto my new Mac, absolutely everything transferred over. I am sure there must be something like available for windows.

Hi, my computer is warning me against opening a link with exe at the end of it. Can you confirm that this link is indeed safe to click on?
