  • Windows easy transfer problem

    I used Windows Easy Transfer with the two computers under Windows Vista. I couldn't transfer files directly over the network because something with computer sizes are not compatible. Fact on the old computer (a laptop), I'm sure I downloaded the files on the network, but now I can't find where I saved from my new computer (a PC). I opened Windows Easy Transfer to know where I saved the documents, and he says "C;\from_old_computer\SaveData.MIG" which is actaull under a car calles OS (C). How can I get my files from my laptop on PC? and can I use the sharing of network as a vehicle? I have also already connected computers via the network, it works simply with the transfer.

    Hello

    I think that we do not follow the correct procedure to migrate the files and settings of the network drive where the backup is stored. Follow the steps mentioned below.

    Use a network drive for migrating files and settings

    1. look for the removable media or the network drive that contains the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard files, and then double-click Migwiz.exe to start Windows Easy Transfer.

    2. If you use other programs, you will need to close these programs. You can save your work in each program, and then close the programs individually. You can also click Close all in Windows Easy Transfer to close these programs immediately.

    3. click on next.

    4. click through a network.

    5. click on connect directly via network to begin the migration.

    Note: Click on save to network location if you want to store the files and settings in a file that will be loaded later. If you want to store the files and settings on a network drive, you will be asked to provide the path where you want to store the files and settings.

    6. click on everything - all accounts users, files, and program settings (recommended) to migrate all files and settings. If you want to determine exactly the files and settings you want to migrate, click only my user account, files, and program settings, or click Customize.

    7 examine the list that contains the files and settings you want to migrate, and then click Start. To add or remove files or settings from the list, click Customize.

    8. click close once Windows Easy Transfer has completed migrating files and settings to the destination computer.

  • 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?

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I apologize for the delay in response. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing. I would like to ask you the following question:

    • What all the options that you see when you connect the second USB drive?

    • You are able to view options such as the DVD, USB, network drive etc. ?

    This problem may occur when you are not using the right settings. For more information, see the links below.

  • Windows Easy Transfer - not enough disk space

    I thought I was effective with my space of C: drive when I created a partition of 19G for Win 7 64 bit install.  Installation went well.  But now, I get an error when I try to use Windows Easy Transfer to replace the files and settings in the C: drive.  I'm getting "there is not enough available disk space to transfer your files and settings.

    I tried to extend the partition of 19G using the diskpart command line, but obviously I don't understand this thing of partition or volume.  I have 908G free on the C: drive.  Why don't Windows Easy Transfer make me do?

    You can walk me through how to get Windows Easy Transfer to use the available space?  I tried creating and formatting a volume with free space and which does not work either.  (Not shown in the screenshot.)

    Screenshots:

    I solved my problem and will document the answer if someone reads this thread.

    Not being warned of partition, I was really afraid of 'delete partition' given the warning message.  Once I thought logically through what would happen that I chose to delete the partition.

    Deletion of de facto partition the partition itself is no longer accessible, but it did not space reconciliations.  Once the partition has been deleted, it was labeled "unallocated" in the management of the computer-> disk management GUI.  At that time I could right click on the c: partition and choose to extend it.

  • Windows Easy Transfer - How can I get rid of this?

    My computer is a Lenovo Thinkpad T400 with Windows 7 Professional.

    One of my friends scanning a lot of pictures and then sent me to a Toshiba flash drive. When I plugged the flash drive on my computer, he started something called Windows Easy Transfer and wanted to know if I wanted to transfer everything. I had no idea what he was talking about, but I thought, well, Yes, I want to transfer the pictures that my friend sent me. I assumed that Windows Easy Transfer, it was how it was done. I mean, it's a Windows program; I just didn't know it would be bad to use.

    Well, when it was over, I got this box labeled "Windows Easy Transfer reports." It seems that a lot of software, settings and a user account with the name of my friend about it was transferred to my computer!

    I don't want that! What's happening on Earth?

    Now I have things on my computer as "215 Apps - DealVault," 'Adobe Flash Player 12 ActiveX,' 'ArcSoft media 2' 'Conduit SearchProtect', 'Mindspark Interactive Network HeadlineAlley Toolbar and InboxAce Toolbar,' 'PC TEKNIX Extreme Flash Player,' "SmartApps DealVault," "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver", 'Intel TV Wizard' and so on! I recognize even more of that, and a lot of it sounds like malware, or stuff of advertising and badly behaved toolbars that I don't want on my computer!

    I searched "Uninstall programs" and none of them are still on the list! Where are they and how do I get rid of them?

    I also do not want user account from my friend on my computer, and I can't find that either. According to the report of transfer, "users successfully transferred: [name] transferred to user." But when I use change user, there is no account he marked [name].

    In addition, under the transfer report tab, there is a line called 'System Settings', and this line does not provide even a Details link.

    When all this stuff has been on my computer and how do I get rid of him?

    Hello squirm,

    We apologize for the late response.

    Hi PTTimothy

    1. what operating system is installed on the computer?

    2. you are the administrator of the computer?

    I suggest you to check and to provide us with the information about the installed operating system.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/help/which-version-of-the-Windows-operating-system-am-i-running

    Step 1:

    You can open the administrator and verify if you can open Windows Easy Transfer correctly.

    You can even check if you face the same question in the user account different or new user account.  You can create a new user account on your computer, and then check.

    Create a new user account-
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-a-user-account

    Step 2:

    An analysis of the SFC and audit-
    a. click Start, click programs, on Accessoriesprincipally made, right click guestand then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow
    b. type the following command and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow
    A message appears indicating that "the system scan will start. Be patient because the scan can take some time.
    c. If all files require a SFC replace will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Win7 DVD for this process to continue.
    d. If everything is correct you should, after the scan, see the following message "resource protection Windows not found any breach of integrity".
    e. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

  • Windows Easy Transfer refuses to start. How can make us it work?

    The old laptop of my son is a Windows 7 laptop. He recently bought a new laptop for Windows 8.1, and naturally he would like all its data, etc. migrate to the new machine. So naturally he's trying to use Windows Easy Transfer, but it does nothing for him. Whenever he tries to run it, it gets this error:

    Window easy transfer has encountered an unrecoverable error. Pleas restart the application.

    There is no other errors than that. He tried to launch Windows Easy Transfer normally and as an administrator; always had this error.

    He tried to connect in safe mode, but he refused to run Windows Easy Transfer at all.

    We have grown to a prompt as an administrator and run SFC/scannow, but it is no problem at all. All is well for what is Windows 7, Windows Easy Transfer should work. But he is not and refuses to start.

    We even chose to return to a previous restore point, but who does not work either.

    Since all this can't work, how in hell are OK, we supposed to get Windows Easy Transfer to work on this old machine Windows 7 when it will not be under all the circumstances I've specified here, work?

    I apologize for the delay in response.

    It is likely that the Application cache is corrupted and causing this problem.

    Please, try the following steps:

    1. Go to "C:/Users / / AppData/Local'." "
    2. Delete folder named Migwiz.
    3. Try to run the transfer Windows Easy now.

  • I want to use Windows Easy Transfer XP to my data, but the software said "computers are old computer."

    I want to use Windows Easy Transfer XP to my data, but the software said that "the two computers are old computer", how do I chanage the parameter in the new computer? In addition, two computers are running in Windows XP system, thank you.

    Thanks for answer you, it is really useful.

    Why Windows Easy Transfer is still a Windows XP version?

    Thank you.

    Because Windows Easy Transfer is designed to transfer data FROM a Windows XP computer TO Windows 7 (or Vista) computer.

    For example, you install Windows Easy Transfer on the computer Windows XP, but the output (if it is stored on external media or transmitted over a network connection or cable Easy Transfer) is used by the Vista or Windows 7 computer.
