How to apply Kaspersky Free settings on another computer
Having configured Kaspersky Free in a particular way, you can then apply the settings on another computer. As a result, Kaspersky Free will be configured identically on both computers.
Kaspersky Free settings are saved in a configuration file that you can move from one computer to another.
The settings of Kaspersky Free are moved from one computer to another in three steps:
- Save Kaspersky Free settings to configuration file.
- Move the configuration file to the other computer (for example, by email or on a removable drive).
- Import the settings from the configuration file to the Kaspersky Free application that is installed on the other computer.

button in the lower part of the main window.The Settings window opens.
