Hi mikeverlaan,

You can't use Windows Easy Transfer to back up the entire operating system.

You can use Windows easy transfer to transfer files and the following parameters:

  • Files and folders
  • The e-mail settings
  • Contacts and messages
  • The program settings
  • User accounts and settings
  • Internet settings and Favorites
  • Music
  • Photos and videos

  • can I use easy transfer from Windows 7 to Windows Vista?

    I'm moving my wife's laptop running Windows 7 to a desktop running Vista, I can't transfer easily to work just so I think that it might be impossible. Someone can tell me if it is possible to do or not?

    You cannot use WET to transfer files from a computer that is running a 64-bit version of Windows to a running a 32-bit version, so make sure that both computers are running the same architecture.  I think you have to use version Vista of WET on both computers because Vista is the target computer.  Maybe that's a problem.  Microsoft has made many changes to WET for Windows 7.  All active links that I could find were to download the compatible version Windows 7 on XP and Vista and to transfers of these systems with a target of Windows 7.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Questions about the use of Easy Transfer from XP to Win7

    I looked at some of the information on the use of passing Easy Transfer from XP to Win7, and confusing; so, I am confused and hope that someone out there knows the answers. (1) I downloaded the program and he ran; It seems to be different from what is in Wn7 and a tutorial: are they?  It simply shows the user files and shared are saved but does not show me what files.  And it doesn't seem to be any way to look at in the. MIG file to see what is there.  (2) after a new install of WIn7, ITI said to run Easy Transfer to restore files, but I don't see anything on how to do?  (3) in addition, each report I've read, but one said first do the restore and then install the necessary programs.  This seems to be doomed to failure; a program can create a nrew shirts, overwriting the data was placed in the same, old files.

  • Windows 7 Pro. Using Easy Transfer

    How to use easy transfer

    Good question:

    I used Windows Easy Transfer at least a hundred times - literally.  It works very well.  I've never had it mess up a system.  It takes time to run and could be hours if you have a lot of data.   So please be patient.

    Please understand at the outset that the DATA is what is transferred.  Applications or programs must be installed separately on the new system.  It is best if you first install the applications.

    WET gathers all DATA from specific locations on the old system, as well as all custom settings that you use from the old computer and produces a great big file that is stored on an external drive.  Then when you connect this same external drive to the new computer and run WET and identify yourself as a new, it copies all data in the right places.

    WET is a very good program.  However, hedge your bets and make a backup of the data from the old also.

    The Acronis program that you are probably referring is something completely different.  He makes an exact copy of the drive installed in the old that you can then copy to the new computer drive.  IT WOULD BE A BIG MISTAKE!  Big mistake because all the drivers and related to the new computer software would be replaced by the bad stuff from the old.  That imaging process is better used on the new computer before loading your programs or data.  The image is an insurance policy that can be used to re - build your computer should it become irreparably damaged or you need to replace the hard drive.

    I hope it's clear.  If this is not the case, just ask.
