Can I use easy to get my old C: files/settings transfer?

My desktop XPSP3 is dead, but the hard drive is always good and is mounted in a USB enclosure attached to a new office with Windows 7 Home Premium. Can I use Easy Transfer on the new desktop to get my files and settings from the old drive XPSP3?  If so, how?  Thank you.

No, you will need to copy them manually.

You may need to take possession of some of the folders:

Windows 7 take ownership & grant permissions to access files & folder

To copy and paste a file:

  1. Open the location that contains the file you want to copy.

  2. Right click on the file and then click on copy.

  3. Open the location where you want to store the copy.

  4. Right-click on an empty space within the location and then click on paste. The copy of the original file is now stored in the new location.

For more information about copying multiple files, see select multiple files or folders.

Tips

  • Another way to copy and paste files is to use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + C (copy) and Ctrl + V (paste).

  • You can also press on and hold the right mouse button and drag the file to the new location. When you release the mouse button, click on copy here.

  • You can copy and paste a folder in the same way as you would a file. When you do this, all the files in the folder are also copied.

  • I am YOA 70 and have used windows 2000 XP Prof. from the arch, too late to change. Not worried about support, this is the best OS ever. I have a copy of old 180-day evaluation. Can I use it or get another copy.

    What I can tell, the problem is simple... The solution cannot be more simple!

    "Can I use it or get another copy."

    After the expiry of 180 days would be illegal to continue using it without a valid license, even using worarounds or reinstalling the operating system.

    The windows 2000 and Windows XP are different products, but the answer is the same, they are abandoned products would be very difficult to buy a license. You can search the remaining stocks, would be not easy but possible to buy it.

    "best OS ever."

  • Can I use Easy Transfer to transfer my files and settinigs if my old Win 7 PC has a broken video card?

    The video in my old Win 7 machine is broken.  I am particularly interested in the transfer of all of the settings on my new computer Win 8.  The old machine has an external hard drive for backup purposes, but I do not know if this includes the parameters or a few files.

    Can I use easy transfer to access the internal hard drive, even if this computer has no video?  If there is no way to do it, my external backup disk has the parameters that I'm looking for and is accessible with Easy Transfer?  Other options?

    You must be able to see and access Windows Easy Transfer of two computers - they must be running and able to interact with. He has no way to initiate a transfer to a computer that has access to a second computer, without checking on the second computer you establish a transfer.  No work around, no other way to do it.  None. Your backup drives or external work not either except maybe to find a few files that can be moved.

  • can I use easy transfer or transfer Assistant during the transition from XP to Vista / 7?

    XP - XP Easy Transfer

    What I can or I do not use Easy Transfer XP to Vista (or XP to Windows 7?) to transfer files, settings, etc. from a XP Pro (SP3) to another XP Pro PC, or what I need to use the files & Settings Transfer Wizard?  I can't find a definitive answer of 100% with it in correspondence of forum.  What if I transfer via an external hard drive or a shared network folder?

    [I guess there is no XP easy transfer dedicated to XP tool]

    Use the easy transfer program and send data on a cd or external hard drive.

    How can I use windows search to search for pdf files containing a specific word?

    Do I need to install something to activate search within .pdf?

    If you use Win7 32 bit, the iFilter is bundled with Acrobat Reader 9. On Win7 64-bit, you will need to install it separately.

  • Can I use ASM / ME to windows server 2012 file server failover clustering?

    Hi all

    Can I use ASM / ME to windows server 2012 file server failover clustering?

    We can use it with exchange, sql, sharepoint,..., but I can't find any document for file server.

    Thank you.

    HIT / working ME with CSV W2K12/R2, W2K8 CSV volumes cannot bear not to cancel the MAPPING is the main difference.  But HITTING / will allow ME to create the active copies and replicas of volumes CSV

    Yes the cluster file shares are supported with SUCCESS / me.    If you think about it, SQL, Exchange are indeed a "sharing".   Because it is an NTFS volume with services that run against her.  SQL, Exchange or fileshare services.

  • Can I use Cloud Drive to back up my files?

    I need to uninstall and reinstall Windows 7. Can I use Cloud Drive to back up my files?  Where are my files?

    SkyDrive is a secondary source, or in fact the third for sharing,

    It wouldn't be good for a primary means of backup,

    because as you said where is it :)

    A disk or flash drive is in your hands and can be loaded without an internet connection,

    Based on the online services for primary backup is risky, given things can be wrong and often do.

    The best backup is one that you can touch and put in a safe place for later use.

    How can I use Windows Defender to scan an individual file in Windows 7?

    To the best of my knowledge, it is not possible.

    A cheap substitute, albeit rather inconvenient, is to use a personalized analysis on the folder containing the file of interest.  Go to Windows Defender-> custom scan and then select the folder in the pop up dialog box.

    How can I use an external HTML form with a file upload in my page of MUSE? I know I can insert an external form, but how do I create a link to my email

    Yes, in most cases. If it is not in your actual embed code, you will need to be added to the script that uses the code. There are literally hundreds of form manages the codes out there on the web, it would be impossible to tell you exactly where it needs to be added. Your best option is to use a third party such as JotForms or WooForms shape provider and use the third Muse Widgets for these services.

  • Can I use easy transfer of the hard disk Vista for 64-bit Windows 7 computer?

    My computer laptop 32 bit vista is dead, but the hard drive is intact.  I can access it using a disk blacx disk drive hard usb.  All files seem to be good.  I gave the disc all permissions for changes, etc., so that it is not just to read only.  He sees my new laptop running windows 7 64 bit.  I found files in the record Office of the old drive so that part works.

    I tried to use easy transfer in windows 7.  Installed on the old disk of vista.  But I can't launch the vista easy transfer since this computer is dead.

    Is there a way I can transfer my emails, photos, documents and the itune files?

    Thank you.

    You can use Knoppixhttp://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (made on a different computer).  This should give you sufficient access to the Vista system 'dead' (if you can not get in any other way) backup/transfer your important data (like everything else you mentioned) to the one you use (an external hard drive, flash player,...). You will not be able to save your settings or your programs because they require the enforcement system to use easy transfer and regular functions copy and paste will do the trick. If Knoppix doesn't work, try slaving the hard drive to another computer, and then after the data you want to save it.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
