• Having problems with Windows Easy Transfer

  I just bought a Dell laptop with W7 installed. It's all very well except the transfer of files/settings. I started the easy transfer and selected the option of wireless transfer. My old machine will connect to our router via a map of 54 Mbps and the new machine will connect to the router via a 24 GHz 802.11n built in the card. When all the files have been selected, they added up to 5.2 GB. I started the transfer, and it worked for 36 hours. For the last 6 hours, transfer screen said 1 minute left. Since the said warning do not use the computer that I don't know what to do. Is it possible to see if Easy Transfer is hung up? If it is blocked, how can it be restarted?

  Tahnks for your help!

  Wireless? Windows Easy Transfer is not something you do on a wireless connection. Use a wired connection, or create a .mig (Windows Easy Transfer file), save on an external hard drive or locally and transfer it to a new computer.

  install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD on the old computer (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) or download it at (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer).  run it and create a WET (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can have it stored there.

  You should be able to easily restore these files if they were created using Windows Easy Transfer in Windows Vista. Simply click Start, type: easy Windows press enter on your keyboard
   
  Follow the wizard screen, select the type of support that you restore your files, select the computer that you restore, navigate to its location, select the file .mig Windows Easy Transfer and click on restore.

  The Windows Easy Transfer Wizard, then analyze the content of the files and ask you what you want to restore if multiple accounts have also been supported.

  Once you have confirmed that you want to restore, click transfer to begin the restore process, after it is complete, the wizard will propose programs, you need to reinstall, and a list of what it has been transferred, you will be asked to restart your system to apply permanently changes.

So my need for Instructions bo accomplich the task.

  I gathered al records original program that I need to install the necessary programs on the new computer.

  Any help or URL available covering my needs transfer will be much appreciated.

  Remails a question. My venus of cable data transfer with a disc Intelemover with Windows Easy Transfer is that the disc is no longer necessary with WET?

  It has nothing to do with Windows Easy Transfer (Intellimover that is).

  You can probably use the cable - if you wish.  I prefer to use a large external USB drive or share network - this way, that I have a copy of all that I could move to multiple computers or almost as a backup at low cost.

  Transfer files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer in Windows 8

  Windows easy transfer supports several methods to transfer your files and settings.
  You can use Windows easy transfer to transfer information to a computer running Windows 8 computers with one of the following operating systems:
  • Windows 8

  • Windows 7

  • Windows Vista

  • Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Service Pack 3 (SP3)
  

  NOTE: Windows Easy Transfer cannot transfer files between a 64-bit version of Windows and a 32-bit version of Windows. Instead, the files must be transferred manually using external storage devices. To find the version of Windows on your computer, see the is the Version on my computer 32-bit or 64-bit Windows
  ? support document.
  Step 1: Determine the best method of transfer

  When you transfer files between Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 computers, choose a method that works on both computers. Windows easy transfer supports the following transfer methods:

  • External hard drive or USB flash drive: to use a USB flash drive, you need a USB port on each computer. If you use an external hard drive, it must be compatible with both computers.

  • Easy transfer cable: you need a special USB cable designed to work with Windows 8 and Windows Easy Transfer and a USB port on each computer. If you don't have an easy transfer cable, you can order one online or get one at an electronics store. The easy transfer cable is supported on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers.
    

    NOTE standard USB cable: A cannot be used to transfer files and settings between computers.

  • Network: both computers must be connected to the same cable or wireless network and both computers must be able to share files and folders.

  To decide which method to use, consider the amount of information you will sit. If you are transferring everything from all users on the computer, or all of your user account files, an easy transfer cable, external hard drive or a network works well. If you transfer only a few files or folders, a USB works well.

  Windows Easy Transfer will not work for me between my old laptop with Windows XP and my new laptop with Windows 7.

  I am trying to transfer my files to my new laptop with Windows 7 for my old laptop with Windows XP Professional, using the Windows Easy Transfer, that I found on my old laptop.   I tried to make the transfer through my home wireless network and when that did not work...  I connected the two laptops with a cable (the same style of cable, used to connect his computer to a modem or router, not a cable SSB).

  So in summary, I just want to transfer all my files from my old laptop to my new laptop.   I copied the master file of my data from my old laptop on a "stick" assuming that I could download just to stick to the new laptop.  (I have a lot of "sticks" here.)   The idea did not work, of course, results otherwise wouldn't ask this question now.

  If you had previously copied simply data (documents folders) via a key files should be no problem during the copying of that stick to the library on win7 locations, and is there's this which is exactly the err MSG?
