The NEWCOMPUTER stage is used for computers on which no user state migration data exists. The New Computer deployment scenario can be used as the second part of the Replace Computer deployment scenario. If the user selects to:

·     Format the disk on the target computer, then the UserStatePage assumes that no user state migration data is located on the local hard disk, so the Local option is disabled and all other options are enabled

·     Not format the disk on the target computer, then the UserStatePage assumes that there is user state migration data to be restored, and all options are disabled other than the Local option (Using the Local option provides a faster method for restoring the user state migration data than the USB or network shared folder methods.)

Table 36 lists the behavior of the options on the wizard page for the NEWCOMPUTER stage. The Format column indicates whether the target hard disk is to be formatted as a part of the deployment. The other columns indicate the configuration of the options when the UserStatePage is loaded.
