• Windows easy transfer to a new computer with two flash drives

  I've updated a computer windows vista to windows 7 and I used easy transfer to transfer files and the user account. I had to use two flash drives to save files due to the lack of space on the disks. now, my problem is that when I run easy transfer on the new installation of windows 7 only allows me to transfer what is on the first hard drive, but when I put the second disc and try to run easy transfer. He tells me that I need to insurt a disk and click Retry or continue. so, how can I get the rest of the files that are located on the second disc transferred?

• -Vista Basic to Windows 7 - easy transfer old and new laptops

  After facing a lot of difficulty with the Vista and bluescreen mistakes, now I changed the idea of keeping vista more. Got a new laptop from Dell with Windows 7.

  Now again, the problem is, when I tried to use the transfer via the cable, the program responds to microsoft and the Service Pack update. Considering that, my vista update does not appear any new update available from the windows update menu shortcut start. I followed the instructions as stated, but again and again, I wonder the service pack update.

  I visited the Microsoft Web site to download the stand-alone software for this purpose. Is it specific to any other software available for transfer easty, that it installs old laptop with Vista Home Basic?  If the service pack is available for this specific update separately, I'll download it from microsoft and install it. I have woul like to get the good link for the same thing.

  Just for your info, I give below details of the old & new details of the laptop:
  Old - Compac Pressario C500, Vista Home Basic,
  New: Dell Inspiron 1440, Windows 7.

  Grateful for your advice on this.

  Thanks and best wishes,

• Satellite Pro L300 - how Windows easy transfer on the new HARD drive?

  Hello

  I recently got a broken hard drive of a laptop larger than mine.

  I would like to put in my computer, but I don't know what would be the way to transfer the partition of installation (or better yet also already installed windows partition).

  Will I be able to reinstall linux in a few minutes, but for windows it's something else.
  Do you have an idea of the procedure?

  The best would be to make a mirror copy, or something like that for me, to have just to extend the size of some partitions.

  Thank you.
  Stone

  Hello

  I recommend the creation of an image.
  You can create either an image that contains only the content of a partition or the whole HARD disk content.

  There are different image on the market tools. For the most part, you will pay for this software.
  But you can also use an internal utility for Microsoft Windows 7. Its share of the Win 7 system.

  If you are using Windows 7, I recommend this solution.

  Here's a nice page of Microsoft on this tool and how to do it:

• Using Easy Transfer of Win 7 PC to another Win 7 PC with 1 single monitor

  II want to transfer files and settings on a PC running Windows 7 SP1 to another PC running the same operating system. I have only 1 monitor. How to make the transfer with 1 single monitor?  If I can do it with 1 monitor PC must be connected to the monitor? Or what I have to go back between the 2 PC's? Thank you. (Stupid question, I guess, but I need some advice).

  Hi Harry,.

  Yes, you can use a system image to transfer the data.

  However, Windows Easy Transfer is a software assistant to transfer files and settings from one computer running Windows to another. You can transfer data from one user or multiple user accounts profile. Easy transfer Windows application will help you choose what to move to your new computer, you can set the transfer method to use and then performs the transfer. Once the transfer is done, Windows easy transfer reports displays what was transferred and provides a list of programs that you can install on your new computer, as well as links to other programs you can download.

  With Windows Easy Transfer, files and settings can be transferred using a network, a flashdrive USB (UFD), or the easy transfer cable.

  How do I eliminate one of the two user names?

  my antivirus provider should create a username, which has double almos everything in my pc. for example, my music library has a large volume of albumns and each of them has the songs twice. How can I eliminate the last user name?

  Hi Jose,

  1. Create the same username won't double files?
  2. Who is your provider of antivirus?
  3. What exactly you're talking about when you say "create a new user name?
  4. What operating system is installed on the computer?

  This could be a virus.

  A quick way to search for viruses is to use an online, such as the Microsoft Safety Scanner scanner. The scanner is a free online service that helps you identify and remove viruses, clean your hard drive and generally to improve the performance of your computer.

  To run the Microsoft Safety Scanner:

  a. go to the page Web of the Microsoft Safety Scanner Download scan.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  b. click on Download nowand then follow the instructions on the screen.

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
