• The easy transfer tool Windows calculates disk space before starting to transfer?

  Using the transfer windows easy between 2 pc both with vista. Calculate wet if there is enough space on 'new' drive until it begins the transfer?

  Thanks for the help.

  original title: disk space

  Hi Pitski,

  Yes, Windows easy transfer evaluates disk space is needed to transfer your selections. If you use a USB flash drive, try to use one with enough storage space for the transfer of all. If your USB drive is not large enough to transfer everything at once, you can copy as many files that it will hold, transfer those files to the new computer, and then reconnect the drive to the old computer and repeat the process.

  You can consult the section "what method should I use to transfer my files and settings?" section:

• 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...?

• 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.

• transfer of windows Vista home premium to windows 10 Edition

  I get a new Tower made Saturday that will run on Windows 10.  My turn today, very old, currently runs on Vista Home Premium.  I know all about the transfer of files and DVDs or an external hard drive and other photos, but is there a way to run a cable to transfer of the former Tower of {Vista} to the {Windows 10} new?  Also, what will happen to any software I currently installed on my Vista tour?  Is it possible to transfer them on at all.  For example, I have the Smart Notebook software installed with the Smart Board files I use at school (I am a teacher).  If I can't transfer or reinstall the software, these files are not good for me here at home more.  Any advice?  I'm NOT savvy computer in some way, shape, or form {in case you couldn't tell}!  Thank you!

  Vista software is not compatible with Win 10... regarding the data of user files/folders, use microsoft to transfer. All the

  a need is a CAT5 cable, or better.

  Also, even if software vista compatible, you always need to reinstall it for the new OS...

  Also, maybe try a virtualization software, the info here.

• Having problems with Windows Easy Transfer

  I just bought a Dell laptop with W7 installed. It's all very well except the transfer of files/settings. I started the easy transfer and selected the option of wireless transfer. My old machine will connect to our router via a map of 54 Mbps and the new machine will connect to the router via a 24 GHz 802.11n built in the card. When all the files have been selected, they added up to 5.2 GB. I started the transfer, and it worked for 36 hours. For the last 6 hours, transfer screen said 1 minute left. Since the said warning do not use the computer that I don't know what to do. Is it possible to see if Easy Transfer is hung up? If it is blocked, how can it be restarted?

  Tahnks for your help!

  Wireless? Windows Easy Transfer is not something you do on a wireless connection. Use a wired connection, or create a .mig (Windows Easy Transfer file), save on an external hard drive or locally and transfer it to a new computer.

  install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD on the old computer (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) or download it at (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer).  run it and create a WET (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can have it stored there.

  You should be able to easily restore these files if they were created using Windows Easy Transfer in Windows Vista. Simply click Start, type: easy Windows press enter on your keyboard
   
  Follow the wizard screen, select the type of support that you restore your files, select the computer that you restore, navigate to its location, select the file .mig Windows Easy Transfer and click on restore.

  The Windows Easy Transfer Wizard, then analyze the content of the files and ask you what you want to restore if multiple accounts have also been supported.

  Once you have confirmed that you want to restore, click transfer to begin the restore process, after it is complete, the wizard will propose programs, you need to reinstall, and a list of what it has been transferred, you will be asked to restart your system to apply permanently changes.

• Easy transfer - implementation of new user names

  I'm moving all my stuff to another computer using the seriously bad named 'easy' transfer - up to now very step has been atrocious.  I'm in what I thought was the last step - load data to an external hard disk in the destination computer.  On the destination computer discs had been authorized by my son, is "Virgin."   But at this last stage, I get to a command prompt in Easy Transfer which requires me to create new user names (or re - use previous) for both accounts that we already had.  But everything I put, including the old names, he says just 'mistake of creating user': the name of account, he will accept is former name of my son, and I cannot use this time.  But without giving users the two old names, he won't let me go.  There is absolutely no help available in Easy Transfer and therefore no idea whatever about what is actually wrong or how I can fix.  Help!

• 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!
