HP laptop 15 15-f113ca: transfer files from my old HP laptop on my new HP laptop
I'm trying to transfer my files from my old HP laptop with Windows 7 on my new HP laptop with Windows 8.1. I use Windows Easy Transfer, but I have questions. My old notebook gives me a transfer type in my new key but my new laptop is not giving me an option to do so. He just asked me if I saved my files from my old PC. I am very confused and need help please!
Here's an article about it.
Basically Windows 8.1 won't allow file transfer in a network. You need to get an external drive and have Windows 7 easy transfer of files do archive and then transfer those in installing Windows 8.1. There are workaround solutions in the article, but they are a bit complicated. The first proposal is to create a drive on the computer of Windows 8.1 target and then share and map it on the Windows 7 machine and then bring the files backup archives in the mapped drive on the Win 7 machine that is actually on the hard drive of the machine Win 8.1. Pretty sleek but yu can not know how to do this. Post back if you want more help.

I have a computer running windows vista that I'm planning on upgrading to Windows 7. I will be transferring files and settings from my old computer running windows XP SP3. Can I make the transfer to the new computer before upgrade Vista to Windows 7 or should I first, up grade for Win 7, and then do the transfer? I also asked a previous question about the email, I use Outlook Express on the XP machine. What happens to the emails, settings, and contacts once I use Windows Vista and Win 7 easy transfer to the have Outlook Express? The new computer has Outlook 2003 is installed, all the settings will automatically go to this program?
Make the transfer later. Everything you do is do more work for the upgrade. It takes hours as it is. Please use the forums of office for questions by email. Click Office link in the banner at the top of the forum page.

How can I transfer files from my old pc sony Vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003
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.
- You can connect the systems on the same network,
- Define the folders that contain your data transfer to 'Share' on the network
- Map the drive on your new Vista computer system network
- 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.

transfer files from the old computer XP to new Vista computer
I want to transfer files from my old computer with XP to Vista new computer
using a USB cable. tried the transfer Assistant, without success.
You need a transfer cable as in this Google search, not a regular USB cable.You have flash drives? You can use them. DVD as well, but it takes more time. -
I had a hard disk going bad. Installed a new hard drive and the need to transfer files from the old hard drive. I have an external enclosure for the old hard drive and can connect by usb port.
The process is fairly simple once you put the old drive in the external box. You can use the usual methods of copy and paste in Windows Explorer. If you copy files, complete folders, you can take a look at RichCopy.

I installed Win7 on my computer by using 'Custom Installation', as I was advised to do. The data from my old hard drive was stored on drive C under the name of the folder "Windows-old".
I have problems using Windows easy transfer. It does not give me the option to transfer files from a folder on the C drive in places where I can use it for example. Word (I installed Office 2013 Home Premium).
I copied the entire "My Documents" to a flash drive, but cannot transfer data from there either.
I also installed Windows Live Mail. I can receive and send emails, but can not access my old address book/contacts list.Any help/advice would be much appreciated!
Original title: XP Win7 upgrade
You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

If you have deleted from the computer, there is a good chance that the hard drive
has been destroyed, and the files are gone.Should I change to W8, rather than transfer again to W7?
Your choice entirely.

Put the hard drive from the old computer in the new computer as a 2nd drive. Or turn the player

transfer files from your old computer, use old hard drive?
I just buy new desktop HP Pavilion p6-2120. I need to transfer files, programs, etc from my 6 year old Dell desktop computer. I know that I can use the program of transfer of Windows 7 with USB key, easy transfer cable, or external hard drive to move the files.
As can another method of transfer, I take the old hard drive from the Dell desktop computer & install in the new HP Pavilion? Is the old hard drive (ATX 80 GB, 7200 RPM, DIM2, XPS2) compatible with the new HP where it will work again?
Since I am not transfer that much is the best for any purchase a Windows 7 transfer cable?
mikesimms,
Your theory is correct. If you want that all settings, email, documents, photos, music, and other data files, use either the program Windows Easy Transfer. It will accept an external device or use the easy transfer cable.
If you want only the documents, photos, music, and other data files , then you could add the XP disk to the system (temporarily use the p6-2120 DVD player wiring). You can copy files to the new folders.

transfer files from the old drive hard windows 7 to new computer windows 8
My old laptop windows 7 crashed for an unknown reason, so I bought a new laptop with windows 8. I removed the hard drive from the windows 7 machine and using an external enclosure card connected to the new laptop.
I can see and open any public folders in the folder of the user data, but can not access a user folder. Also when I right click on the folder of the user, it seems that they are empty.
I have tried making the appropriation and unchecking hidden files but still no luck.
Pretty frustrated right now.
I think I solved the problem.
I had to do a right-click on the folder user and copy and paste in a new folder. While he was doing that he clean up some data. Don't know exactly what was going since I wasn't there when it happened.
Once he went through this process, I could see my user files to the new folder and the old hard drive.
Sorry I can't explain it better.

Two computers work but when I connect them with an ethernet cable, they recognize each other. I also tried connecting them through my home wireless network, but they have not yet recognized each other.
Hello
To connect two computers with a cable, not a router, it must be a crossover cable.
