How can I transfer files from my old sony pc running vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003 Windows 8

Welcome to the HP, Roodie forum.

There is an easy way to do it using Microsoft Windows Easy Transfer :

Transfer files and settings from another PC

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you do not want to transfer files using the easy transfer method, you can manually make the copy.

  1. You can connect the systems on the same network,
  2. Define the folders that contain your data transfer to 'Share' on the network
  3. Map the drive on your new Vista computer system network
  4. Copy the data you want to transfer

On the Vista Machine:

  • Open a Windows Explorer window,
  • Right click on the folder that contains the data you want to 'share' (transfer)
  • Click Properties > share > share and follow the instructions to allow the folder to be shared on the network

On the Machine Windows 8:

  • Windows key (opens the start screen) > anywhere type 'computer' >
  • Click on "computer" to open the "Computer" File Explorer window >
  • Click map network drive and follow the instructions to map the drive

Don't forget: If your account name is different on the Vista computer, you will need to click on "Sign in using different credentials" and then enter the name of the account on the Vista computer AND the password for this account.

You can do this with the upper or lower level folders folder level - as long as the folder is shared, you should have general access to the data it contains.

There are cases where you will not end up being "owner" of the data transferred - you will have to perhaps enter and adjust the property for files / folders after they are copied to the computer of Windows 8.
