  It is a description however computer stores will sell them at low cost.

  =============================

  If this isn't a lot of files, you could their zip and send them by e-mail.

  Online record sites could function as your SkyDrive.

  And you could set up a network if you really need as much connectivity.

  I hope this helps.

• Transfer files and settings from an old PC to a new PC with W-7 W - 7 pre-installed?

  I have an old HP PC with W-7 and buy a new PC HP W - 7 pre-installed.

  How can I transfer my settings, files, and programs (e.g., office) from my old PC to the new PC?

  Microsoft Office and other applications will need to be reinstalled from their original installation disk or install files. Make sure you have your product key for your applications.

  Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

  In what concerns your personal files and settings, you can save them using Windows Easy Transfer and restore them on your new computer, you can have an external hard drive for this task.

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

  I highly recommend using Windows Easy Transfer, as it stores a lot of what you miss by a manual copy and paste. For example, dictionaries customized in Microsoft Word and bookmarks and other custom settings for third-party applications that are stored in the folder (hidden) of AppSettings.

• Transfer files and settings from PC to win8.1 PC win7

  My win7 PC play, so I'm looking to buy a new one. Unfortunately they all win8.1.

  There are many threads and messages on the complicated transfer data became, but they are confused and with the help of MS sites do not seem to cover this.

  Essentially, I would like to know how to transfer data and settings from my PC to a new PC win8.1 win7?

  I used easy transfer from XP to win7, but I understand that this is not possible with win7 for win8.1.

  I do not use the cloud.

  I have an external HARD drive that I use for backup in win7.

  Is this just a case of copy and paste my drives C and D together to the new computer?

  I'll be able to transfer settings and programs?

  Thank you.

  Yes, it works with Windows 7.

• Can I transfer files and settings using easy transfer to a PC with an XP 32 bit system to a PC with 64-bit of Windows 8. I need to load software on the XP PC?

  I'm helping a friend transfer files from laptop running Windows XP 32 bit on a desktop running Windows 8 64-bit PC.  I want to be sure easy transfer will work.

  The use of a USB stick to transfer files works if you have only a few gigabytes of Documents, pictures, music and videos. Assuming that the old computer supports usb 2.0 (if it is longer than 5 years, she probably only support usb 1.0) over a network connection 100 Mbps local, there is no contest, the connection to the local network is much faster. Unless you really know what you're doing isn't the best advice. Do you know how to transfer your settings to internet explore (i.e. Favorites), passwords, certificates, outlook, etc. etc. ? The best solution is to use the windows easy transfer program, it's free! Download you the old machine (XP or Vista), race a category 5 (lan cable) cable to one of the unused router ports (Verizon, Comcast, Linksys, etc.). Turn on the old and the new. In the old computer, open the transfer program that you downloaded for free from Microsoft or the internet;  If the new computer is w7 and w8, the transfer is already installed; Open easy transfer in both computers, and then follow the prompts.  Start with your old computer, follow the instructions, it is not any easier than this. It gives you the choice of what you want to transfer and which solves a lot of problems. It is so easy to use that it is almost ridiculous. A word of warning does that move from a 32-bit to a 64-bit program, it works!

  Original title: easy transfer

  Until you do, make sure that your existing computer can actually support Windows 7.  If it's an old computer, it cannot.  You can get a rough idea by running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  If you have a computer of 'brand', go to the website of its manufacturer and check if Windows 7 drivers are available for your model.  Although Windows 7 has a large number of drivers built in, you may well need to install specific manufacturers drivers once Windows 7 installed, especially if you have a laptop.

• Could someone tell me the best way to transfer files and settings from an old computer to a newer version?

  Hello everyone, once again I find myself going to the pro to know what you're probably going to think is an easy thing to do, but I have to swallow my pride and ask anyway. Before I ask my question, I need to let you know that I'm almost completely computer illiterate. I can manage to do somethings, but I have a feeling this is going to be difficult. I have an older Dell model, this is the Dimension 2350 series and I would like to transfer those things on that is also a Dell, but it's an Intel Pentium 4. . Really, I don't have as long as it's what files to transfer, but especially picutres of family or your holiday. What worries me is transfer the settings on my old computer to the newest one. I have a Windows XP CD drive that comes with a new computer. What help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!  Can you give me an idea what I have to do first with the old as in the steps I have to take.

  Question for you:
   
  What is the operating system on both systems?  They are both Windows XP?  Is the older Windows XP and the newer Windows Vista?  Windows 7?  Something else?
   
  I ask only because whatever you mentioned was a Windows XP CD that is supplied with the newest computer.  The truth - the newest computer is already up and working as you want - if not relevant.  The answer to the foregoing will help someone lead you correctly.

• Can I transfer files and settings from my old hard drive after replacing with a new one?

  the old hard drive developed a kind of problem and was still running out of space. I replaced and recharged my CD XP. the old hard drive is still readable via USB adapter system and I want to what I can from him toward the new restore disc. the old drive is not in a computer. can I use FAST to transfer the old disk directly? I can't find this scenario in all the help files.

  Thank you.

  I'm sorry, but this is not possible.  FAST is available only when Windows XP is actually running on the hard drive. Boulder computer Maven

• Transfer of old XP files and settings to new XP using a USB enclosure.

  Main map of my old XP computer died.  My new (refurbished) computer has an ATA hard drive, but old did an EIDE hard drive.

  I want to transfer files and settings, etc. from my old hard drive (now in a USB enclosure) on my new computer.

  The problem is to execute the transfer Assistant, I need to start Windows on the USB HDD and I can't.

  Is there a way to do this or what I try and do it manually?

  Currently running on the computer Dell Optiplex 740 current XP sp3

  Old hard drive is Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB that has XP sp3 on it.

  Thanks in advance, Al

  I'm sorry, but you cannot use the wizard to transfer settings and files for it.  You must do it manually.  The new computer must assign a drive letter to the old drive when it is connected. Boulder computer Maven

• Big problem with the files and Settings Transfer Wizard.

  Basically, what has happened here, it is that I did a backup of the files on the computer of a friend with the wizard to transfer to an external hard drive, but I started on the old computer and for one reason or another never get the CD Wizard so I thought that I was OK.  Don't think.  The idea was to have the backup files in case I needed to reformat the drive hard, I ended up reformatting the drive and when I finally got the installation more done with trying to run the file and Settings Wizard and when I chose the external drive that files were on and then subsequently the folder and it said that it did not contain information.  So basically I'm stuck with a complete record of .dat files, and the wizard will not let me extract the files off the drive.  Is there anyway that I can return information about the files, or I'm totally finished.

  Everything worked ok that it proved just that he did not want to me to choose the actual file as a path, but the hard drive.  It was just something simple that I pop up.  Thanks for the help but I don't know that it would have been the next problem if I didn't had not updated the operating system first.

• Files and Settings Transfer Wizard-problem

  I recently had to format my hard drive and start over. I used the "files and Settings Transfer Wizard" to collect, compress and save all my pictures, etc... She is transferred to 11.1 GB and ended successfully. But now that I formatted I can't transfer files to the newly formatted hard drive. I direct the wizard to the folder I saved them and I get the message:"the location you specified does not have information stored. Please enter a valid folder path into the edit box

  If you have entered a path to a folder on a removable disk, the disk must be in the drive. »

  At the same time I see 7 files in the folder.

  They are IMG00001 by IMG00006 andstatus

  IMG00001-IMG00006are all the DAT files.

  The two operating systems is Windows XP Professional.

  I am confused, maybe I need some sort of program that can read and decompress these important images. Please help me.

  Choose the folder above the folder you chose when you got the error message. Let me know what happens.
