• Not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer to move files from my old computer to new computer (Windows XP to Windows 7).

  Original title: Easy Transfer password XP to Windows 7.

  I try to use Easy Transfer to move files from my old computer to new computer (XP to Windows 7). I didn't have a password on my old computer, but cannot transfer to the new without one. I tried every password I never used (caps on and outside), as well as the code given at the beginning of the Easy Transfer, but nothing works. What can I do? (I use an external hard drive)

  Hello

  If I'm wrong, please let us know why, but my assumptions that are

  • Your old XP machine is usable
  • It still allows to log
  • There is no password required when you don't sign

  So you can try this...

  1. Click Start
  2. Click on Control Panel
  3. Click on user accounts
  4. Give your XP logon password
  5. Restart your XP machine
  6. Try Easy Transfer and him give the password that you set in step 4

• I need to plug my monitor up to my new computer before transferring files from the old computer

  yet to try to find out if I need to have my monitor connected to my new computer before I use the easy transfer cable to transfer my files from my old computer to the new

  Yes, you will need a monitor connected to your computer to use an easy transfer cable. I suggest to use two monitors, one on the old computer and the other on the new.

• Personal Verizon has me download pictures from my old cell phone on my laptop. How now EXPORT from my laptop to my new phone and my Tablet?

  Personal Verizon has me download pictures from my old cell phone on my laptop.  How now EXPORT from my laptop to my new phone and my Tablet?

  This is largely dependent on what kind of new phone or tablet you have.

  An alternative could be to put the files in Microsoft OneDrive (online free player to store your files from Microsoft).  Then add the OneDrive app on your phone and Tablet so you can download the files.

  If you want to use more, OneDrive also has the ability to automatically add the photos you take on your phone in your folder OneDrive. If you have the OneDrive app on your portable computer, the photos you pull on your phone would immediately synchronize with your laptop, always.  Ideal for making them easy to reach and use and also a great backup Pack your phone breaks.  Good, end of announcement :)

  new computer how to do everything from my old computer to my new computer

  You can transfer files and settings with Windows XP files and the transfer settings Wizard, but you can not transfer the programs installed using any method whatsoever - you will need to reinstall these programs.  If your new computer is not Windows XP but Windows 7 then use the program Windows Easy Transfer, included in Windows 7 rather than the files and Settings Transfer Wizard.

• Can I transfer files from the old computer running XP to new computer before or after you move the new Vista computer to Windows 7?

  I have a computer running windows vista that I'm planning on upgrading to Windows 7. I will be transferring files and settings from my old computer running windows XP SP3.  Can I make the transfer to the new computer before upgrade Vista to Windows 7 or should I first, up grade for Win 7, and then do the transfer?  I also asked a previous question about the email, I use Outlook Express on the XP machine.  What happens to the emails, settings, and contacts once I use Windows Vista and Win 7 easy transfer to the have Outlook Express? The new computer has Outlook 2003 is installed, all the settings will automatically go to this program?

  Make the transfer later.  Everything you do is do more work for the upgrade.  It takes hours as it is.  Please use the forums of office for questions by email.  Click Office link in the banner at the top of the forum page.

• transfer files from your old computer with video card damaged to new computer

  Hello

  Put the hard drive from the old computer in the new computer as a 2nd drive. Or turn the player
  in an external USB enclosure. Or the other must allow you to access the files.

  I hope this helps.

• Changing to a new computer from vista to windows 7. My file transfer and deletion of personal information, including files from my old computer for security reasons

  I'm about to change my old computer (windows vista) to a new all-in - one computer that has windows 7. Am I right in thinking that I can transfer my files incl. photos to an external hard drive and then plug that to my new download or is it more than that. Also, I have macafee protection on my old computer and don't know how to transfer to my new one cos I don't think that's it (we bought it second hand on ebay), and this should be done first.

  Finally how to make sure that none of my personal information is nowhere on my old for security reasons?

  I would appreciate any advice, thanks

  Several options;

  (1) simple, connect you external hard drive copy data

  Or use the backup software which may be preinstalled on the outside

  (2) for easy transfer Windows http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/Products/features/Windows-Easy-Transfer

  Old PC;

  The windows recovery discs to retrieve destructively to factory settings

  McAfee

  Uninstall on the old PC to the new PC, uninstall any trial version pre-installed anti-virus, reboot, reinstall McAfee from original installation media using your key

  New PC

  Make sure that it has been reset to the State of the plant, before you do something with it, because you don't know what the previous user used during or installed on it.

• I created a new profile and copied the files from my old computer inside firefox. How do the new profile, just delete the old one?

  I am running windows 7, I had to recover my files on an external hard drive when my old computer crashed. I created a new profile as described in the Web site of firefox and copied all the files into it. I just need to know how to use the new profile when I open firefox, just delete the old profile? Or do I have to reinstall firefox.

  If you no longer have need or intention to use this older profile, then you can use the Profile Manager to delete this profile and delete the files.

• transfer files from your old computer, use old hard drive?

  I just buy new desktop HP Pavilion p6-2120.  I need to transfer files, programs, etc from my 6 year old Dell desktop computer.  I know that I can use the program of transfer of Windows 7 with USB key, easy transfer cable, or external hard drive to move the files.

  As can another method of transfer, I take the old hard drive from the Dell desktop computer & install in the new HP Pavilion?  Is the old hard drive (ATX 80 GB, 7200 RPM, DIM2, XPS2) compatible with the new HP where it will work again?

  Since I am not transfer that much is the best for any purchase a Windows 7 transfer cable?

  mikesimms,

  Your theory is correct. If you want that all settings, email, documents, photos, music, and other data files, use either the program Windows Easy Transfer. It will accept an external device or use the easy transfer cable.

  If you want only the documents, photos, music, and other data files , then you could add the XP disk to the system (temporarily use the p6-2120 DVD player wiring). You can copy files to the new folders.

• Transfer large files from an old computer to a new one

  Recently, I bought a computer and I want to transfer large files (ranging from 5 GB to 8 GB) to the new computer of the former, on what they are. I tried to put them on a USB stick 32 GB, but the thing does not accept files greater than 4 GB. I'm really frustrated and I need help to transfer these files.

  You can format your USB to allow him to manage larger files.  Here's how:

  1. Plug the USB on any computer
  2. Press +E on the keyboard to open the file Explorer.  Go to the 'Computer' or 'This PC' section.
  3. Right click on the USB key and choose the Format
  4. Choose the NTFS file system type from the menu drop down and use the option "quick format".

     * WARNING: All DATA on the USB key will definitely be deleted.* *.

  5. Click OK and confirm that you want to erase all data on the USB key.

  Once completed, you can then use the USB to transfer your files.

• Files from the old computer to the new LR3 LR2

  I have a new imac and have installed LR3. My older G5 has LR2. I copied all the files in the folder of the image of the old machine that accompanies the .dng files in LR2 records. They have been imported into a new folder "G5 imports", one still keep their names of LR, 2008, 2009, 2010. A subfolder of this folder is called "Lightroom" and contains .lrdata and .lrcat files. Should I reimport the image on LR3 files or can I just move them to the new folder of images of iMacs? Also, how can I move the other files in LR2, .lrdata and .lrcat files to LR3? These files contains the metadata for the images, I've worked on in LR2?

  Thanks for any help you can provide. I am a new user of Lightroom, but experienced in Photoshop.

  Lightroom Catalog contains information about the location of the files, so if you run the catalog and you don't see the pictures in the folders Panel, simply right click and select search. Since then, the Lightroom Catalog will remember the location of the files.

  When I was upgrading to Lr 2 to 3, I created a new folder called Lr 3 inside my external default Lr on a hard drive folder:

  

  and that's where I pointed to Lightroom to create a new catalog (MyPhotos_Lr3 file). The images are all outside of this folder, folder of Photos. Lightroom is smart, it will find all your dng files (maybe with the help... ;-)).
