migrating to an new computer without losing anything

[ubbycity]

Will shortly get a new computer. I have something like 5000 photos categorized first in PSA1 and now I have them in Elements 3 What is the best procedure to take to get everything over (photos AND tags etc) to the new machine
(I have an external hard disk)
this makes me nervous, so please help me out
kind regards from snowy Sweden

P.S. I first put this at the General discussions list, but got no answer, so I try here. I hope I am not offending anyone - not so used to forums...

thanks a lot jodi - this link plus the fact that I took a deep breath and browsed the Elements' help files make me confident that I won't loose anything.
greetings from snowy Sweden!
