The upgrade to Windows 7 or later will preserve my personal files, applications, and settings?

Yes, the upgrade to Windows 7 or a later version will keep your files staff, settings, and applications.

    How to organize and archive files

    Allows you to do this by using the organizational tools built into Windows 7. The first place wherever I start looking at is my downloads folder since I do a lot of downloading.

    In order to properly analyze what we can, keep and move to an external hard drive, we'll use the menu to change the view . Click on the menu to change the view, and then click details.

    You will notice that your files are organized with more details. To further customize the view, click the Date Modified column header. This will allow us to view the files when they were used or last edited. Another column, I recommend that you post is the Date created column.

    Right-click on the column heading, and then click on created.

    This will give us a better idea of the age of the file and if its worth keeping.

    Looking through my downloads folder, I have files going back to the beginning of 2007 and the last time that I accessed them were in 2007. Certainly not useful to keep on disk. If these files will be archived and moved to my external hard drive.

    Archiving

    Obviously, to do something like that, you're going to need an external hard drive. You could choose DVD as a backup method, but they can be unreliable and more a chore, especially with the permutation of the disc in question. Once you have identified the files you need to Archive, open your external hard drive and create a folder specially for these files called Archive.

    Open it and then go back to the (window) folder where your old files are currently on your local hard drive. Select the files, and then click organize > copy

    Return to the folder Archive (window) we have created on the external hard drive, and then click organize > then click Paste

    Please wait while files are copied to. Once this done, go back to the folder and click on organize > delete or press Delete on your keyboard.

    Simplify the file selection and copy

    If you want to select files in a date range, just select the first file then click on any file within the range, see below:

    Repeat these steps for the other records of the person such as Documents, music, photos and videos. When you are finished archiving, you can move to permanently delete these files from your bin if all are stored:

    Windows could not transfer files. An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used.

    With windows xp, I plug it and he can move 2 drivers, "microsoft bluetooth enumerator" and "generic bluetooth radio".

    I pair the device from the phone and it didn't work. while I was looking for the computer and it does not even, but file transfer

    It works totally fine XP and with the same drivers! just different os versions.

    I went to Device Manager, click on set to update driver and he know that later is installed

    BTW, it's a generic radio bt, and it was $10 do9ller micro dongle.

    However, there is no brand name.

  • Network file transfer speed in windows 7

    I have a working network.

    Files shared in a warehouse are used by other customers. (file size is 1 GB and more)

    Some customers use windows XP and some customers use windows XP.

    My operating system file server is windows server 2008 and I use file sharing.

    The use of files shared in windows XP (software import and editting) has no problem, but in the same use in windows 7, it is very slow.

    File transfer speed is slow and the access to the files in the software takes a long time.

    Example: In windows XP, a 12 GB file is imported into edius pro in a second, but same file in windows 7 takes 65 seconds to import

    What security options are why, or how I can solve it?

    Hello

    Which version of Win 7, you use in client side, he logged in as a domain for win 2008 Server.
    I hope that the system win 7 is not a task force. Home network with one or more computers running Windows 7 can experience slow file transfer speeds, specifically during the transfer of files with other computers running different operating systems,

    Turn off and disable the Compression feature differential to remove Windows 7 can be a solution to slow copying files, file move or delete the file bug.

    • Click the Windows 7 start button, then go to control panel.
    • Click on the link programs.
    • In programs & features section, select features Windows activate or disable the link.
    • Uncheck the remote differential Compression checkbox.
    • Click OK.
    • Wait for the feature to be disabled.
    • Once completed, restart the computer.

  • Get a fixed image and audio while playing a movie in Windows Media Player, also get the message: "network is too busy to read the file to its original quality.

    Original title: Windows Media Player

    When I go to play a movie using windows MediaPlayer all I get is an imagwe again with audio and this message 'network is too busy to read the file to its original quality. Also, all my other media playing programs read the video but are rather "lag". I think the problem is that I already used a program to download torrents called 'BitTorent' and maybe this has used up all my bandwidth or processing speed? Not really sure but would really like it if I could still use WMP and I'm looking for resolution to my problem?

    Thank you

    And... There may be a limit to the number of files that can

    fixed by adding a few folders to sort the files.

  • Transform Windows XP & Settings Transfer Wizard of files for Windows 7-64 bit?

    I did a back up and run the Transfer Wizard - settings & Windows XP file THEN I discovered on the Windows 7 transfer Assistant.  So I ran this program.  Somewhere in update XP to Windows 7, Win 7 thought my backup disk was altered and basically remapped and "recovered" all files/lines lost - even if there is nothing wrong the drive.  The file transfer Wizard Windows 7 was "recovered" with 0 bytes.

    I still have the download Windows XP UNC file.  Is it possible to convert this program or import this program for recover my settings in Windows 7 64 bit?
