• Easy transfer does not recongize. MIG file

  I replaced the drive in my Dell d830.  I gathered my files on the external hard drive.  When I run easy transfer on "new computer", it does not recognize the file in the box go.  I can see it on the disk, but it does not load.  Help?

  Have you ever used Windows Easy Transfer to copy the files to your external drive?

  If you used easy transfer AND your original drive is no longer available (or dead), you may be able to recover the data, but there is no guarantee.

  Microsoft technical support may be able to help--for a fee.  Alternatively, you can Google MigRecover Utility.  However, I understand that there are different versions of the file creates MIG Windows Easy Transfer, but this requires different versions of the tool (I think USMT4 is for the version of Windows 7 to WET and USMT3 for the version of Vista, but I don't know for you).

  Sorry, I have more new and good luck.

  PS Si the old drive is not actually dead, your best bet is probably to buy a USB or FireWire external drive box and copy the data directly.

  Transfer files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer in Windows 8

  Windows easy transfer supports several methods to transfer your files and settings.
  You can use Windows easy transfer to transfer information to a computer running Windows 8 computers with one of the following operating systems:
  • Windows 8

  • Windows 7

  • Windows Vista

  • Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Service Pack 3 (SP3)
  

  NOTE: Windows Easy Transfer cannot transfer files between a 64-bit version of Windows and a 32-bit version of Windows. Instead, the files must be transferred manually using external storage devices. To find the version of Windows on your computer, see the is the Version on my computer 32-bit or 64-bit Windows
  ? support document.
  Step 1: Determine the best method of transfer

  When you transfer files between Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 computers, choose a method that works on both computers. Windows easy transfer supports the following transfer methods:

  • External hard drive or USB flash drive: to use a USB flash drive, you need a USB port on each computer. If you use an external hard drive, it must be compatible with both computers.

  • Easy transfer cable: you need a special USB cable designed to work with Windows 8 and Windows Easy Transfer and a USB port on each computer. If you don't have an easy transfer cable, you can order one online or get one at an electronics store. The easy transfer cable is supported on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers.
    

    NOTE standard USB cable: A cannot be used to transfer files and settings between computers.

  • Network: both computers must be connected to the same cable or wireless network and both computers must be able to share files and folders.

  To decide which method to use, consider the amount of information you will sit. If you are transferring everything from all users on the computer, or all of your user account files, an easy transfer cable, external hard drive or a network works well. If you transfer only a few files or folders, a USB works well.

  Easy transfer does not matter the favourites and any settings and Outlook *.pst.

  I try to use Easy Transfer to migrate files and settings user from a Vista computer on a Windows 7 computer. I created the WET migration file (either 3 separate files on a USB key). When I launch and run WET is WET on the new computer, important files and settings. However, when it ends by providing the report, Outlook files are not transferred. Open Outlook gives an error message the *.pst file is not found and none of the e-mail settings are present. Also, IE favourites did not import and lack. I don't know that these points have been included in the migration from the old computer. Is it possible to open the migration files to search for *.pst and Favorites folder file to copy manually, or is there another way to integrate these Articles? I don't have the old computer longer to copy them directly from it are not an option. Thanks for any help.

  Windows Easy Transfer has not moved during my emails

  Then Windows easy transfer saved you a lot of grief. WET does not work with the data Outlook.
  If you still have access to the old machine, find the pst file (named Outlook.pst usually and it is a hidden file) and copy it with closed Outlook.

  Then read here on how to transfer Outlook data correctly:
  How to backup and restore Outlook

  http://www.HOWTO-Outlook.com/HOWTO/BackupandRestore.htm
  http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm
  http://Office.Microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010771141033.aspx

  There are outdated information on some of these pages, specifically with regard to Outlook 2003 and 2007.

  The main points to note:
  1. do NOT use the import/export feature to move Outlook data from one version to the other - all you have to do is to copy the PST, with closed Outlook.

  2. do NOT paste paste the copied into the default location - pst file in your Documents folder (for example) and then do file-open-Outlook Outlook data file.

  Windows Easy Transfer will not work for me between my old laptop with Windows XP and my new laptop with Windows 7.

  I am trying to transfer my files to my new laptop with Windows 7 for my old laptop with Windows XP Professional, using the Windows Easy Transfer, that I found on my old laptop.   I tried to make the transfer through my home wireless network and when that did not work...  I connected the two laptops with a cable (the same style of cable, used to connect his computer to a modem or router, not a cable SSB).

  So in summary, I just want to transfer all my files from my old laptop to my new laptop.   I copied the master file of my data from my old laptop on a "stick" assuming that I could download just to stick to the new laptop.  (I have a lot of "sticks" here.)   The idea did not work, of course, results otherwise wouldn't ask this question now.

  If you had previously copied simply data (documents folders) via a key files should be no problem during the copying of that stick to the library on win7 locations, and is there's this which is exactly the err MSG?

  Windows easy transfer is not easy and not transfer

  I just bought a new PC and wanted to transfer from the old.  Both are Win 7 Home Premium.  I used the option of Windows Easy Transfer connect network, both computers are on my home LAN.  The transfer took 6 hours.  I thought I had deleted all the jpg files, but they always fell on (only losing 5 hours of my life over a copy of disc).  IE9 settings were there - but that's the thing is useful.  The direct e-mail settings simply had not been transferred.  I installed Live Mail and it is just empty.  I tried to copy only through details of the user, but it was no more successful and he has DELETED ALL JPGs PREVIOUSLY COPY.  Thank you MS for your attention and respect for your customers and your complete product tests!  Oh, and copy the stuff of direct mail by hand requires extreme care.  The export option "all folders" will retrieve only AN email at random a few records at random.  Totally useless.

  Windows Easy Transfer has not transferred images and music files.

  I have upgraded from Vista Home premium to Windows 7 Professional and none of my photos or music files have been transferred.  I had to do a clean install, everything went well at the end of the Vista of the transfer, but no pic files or music files came with it.  Is there a place I can look for them or they're just gone and I'm screwed by Microsoft?

  Never mind.  I found them.  They were the Windows.old folder on the C: drive.

  You can see the following thread, which presents a similar problem discussed.

  Windows 7 easy transfer does not work on Vista Home Premium 32

  Installed Windows 7 Professional, Easy Transfer helped to transfer all files. Programs not listed

  I used Easy Transfer to transfer the entire selection available through transfer is including Program Files, program data and the AppData (inside the user's home directory. The program seems to be installed, but some of them are not listed in the Start Menu. None of them appear in the Uninstall list of programs. Also, some programs such as MS Office launch when I try to open the exe file in the installation directory. Other programs like winzip have been installed again when I opened the program executable in the installation directory, while others like firefox opens as if nothing was (with my already open tabs).

  This uniformity?

  What should I do if I want to use, lets say that MS Office now? Are the installed files in program files, but I can't open the executable files.

  Thank you very much

  I'm sorry, but you have been deceived, Windows Easy Transfer does not Support Program Files, you need to reinstall those of their original installation discs.

  Can I transfer programs?

  No. Windows Easy Transfer only transfers program settings, not the programs themselves. To use the programs from your old computer, install them on your new computer, and then transfer the files and the settings for these programs. It is possible that certain types of programs, such as security and antivirus programs, may not work with this version of Windows.
