Easy transfer from XP and Windows 8
I have 8 year, computer with XP. I just bought a new one with Windows 8. Can I use Easy Transfer to transfer data? Or is there another way?
Hello, can you confirm that this works for any level of SP in XP? I had heard that it requires a minimum of XP SP2. Thank you.

Easy transfer from Xp to Windows 7 32. Not all profiles appear as a choice.
I'm migrating a person from a computer with XP 32 bit to a new computer with Windows 7 64 bit.
The user is an administrator on both machines. When I run on the new computer, the end-user profile does not appear as a choice.
Administrator and my account appear (I am an administrator on all) and the profile of shared appear as choices.
I don't see what I'm missing. Anyone got any ideas?

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.

I would agree with everything destroyed and, if there is a way to get windows 7 64 bit on my drive. Transfer easily gets a «not compatible...» "answer, as does the dvd when you try to start it.
To switch from Vista to Windows 7 see the following download link (you will need the 32-bit version): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-easy-transfer

Easy transfer from Windows xp to windows 7 has not transferred my files on my computer
I re-installed Windows XP and would like to re - install my files located on an external drive. I read a post from a few years with a similar problem and the answering machine says ' see if XP will read the file ' what command or process is necessary to achieve this?
Yet once, how this is related to the Windows Update feature?
After you "gave up trying to upgrade to windows 7", did you do a clean install of Windows XP or...?

Windows Easy Transfer. Dual boot Windows XP 32 and 64-bit Windows 7
I am upgrading to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit of Windows XP 32-bit profressionelle. I was looking at using the "Windows Easy Transfer" application for transfer settings. I will install Windows 7 on a separate partition and Windows XP is my current operating system. I want to use the WET program, but it implies that I'm to be transferred from ONE computer to another (using the cable or a network). It's the same machine and only no OS will run at the same time. How would I be able to use WET in this situation of dual boot? I have not yet installed Windows 7 or WET. Thanks, BarJabba
Is the Windows 7 Professional a full license or upgrade? Please note that you will be unable to dual boot using a license to upgrade because it requires that you have previous eligible license installed on the partition.
If it is a license full and that you plan to dual boot and want to transfer personal files and settings by using Windows Easy Transfer for Windows XP, you will need to do is select the option during the transfer Assistant Windows backup on an external storage device.
Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

Instructions for using Windows Easy Transfer from Vista computer to a new Windows 7 computer.
I bought a new computer today that works under Windows 7. The old computer is running Windows Vista 32 bi my new computer is a 64-bit Windows 7 computer.

So my need for Instructions bo accomplich the task.
I gathered al records original program that I need to install the necessary programs on the new computer.
Any help or URL available covering my needs transfer will be much appreciated.
Remails a question. My venus of cable data transfer with a disc Intelemover with Windows Easy Transfer is that the disc is no longer necessary with WET?
It has nothing to do with Windows Easy Transfer (Intellimover that is).
You can probably use the cable - if you wish. I prefer to use a large external USB drive or share network - this way, that I have a copy of all that I could move to multiple computers or almost as a backup at low cost.

Simple transfer of VMware and Windows again MBP of existing install on a MB
I bought a macbook about 6 weeks merger there and installed and Windows Ultimate edition. I want to get a new MBP now and try to find an easy way to move all the stuff of Fusion/Windows to the new MBP without having to reinstall etc. I intend to restore the "old" MB to its original state and give them to a friend. I am a novice on Mac and PC stuff, so I need help. I guess that's not as simple as copying the files from one to the other because of partitioning etc.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
No matter how you transfer anything from one Mac to another, you will need to reinstall merger.
If the Virtual Machine is a Virtual Machine based normal file, then Yes, it is as simple as copying the Package of Document of Virtual Machine from one to the other. The default location for the normal file based on Virtual Machines is "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Documents/Virtual Machines /" even if these can be placed anywhere where you have full access to the.
If you have installed Vista Boot Camp and run the Boot Camp partition in a Virtual Machine, then you will need to use something like Winclone to backup/restore the Boot Camp partition.
