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.
