• 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.

  1. You can connect the systems on the same network,
  2. Define the folders that contain your data transfer to 'Share' on the network
  3. Map the drive on your new Vista computer system network
  4. 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.

• How to transfer files from the old hard drive to a disc new hard, old hard disk has been removed?

  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.

• 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.

  http://www.pcpro.co.UK/blogs/2014/07/11/Windows-easy-transfer-%25e2%2580%2593-not-so-easy-in-Windows-8-1

  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.

• Can I transfer files from the old computer running XP to new computer before or after you move the new Vista computer to Windows 7?

  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.

• 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 your old computer with video card damaged to new computer

  my old computers video card is damaged can not read anything on the monitor. I want to transfer files to my laptop. Old computer has windows xp new computer has windows vista. I can do this with just an easy transfer cable?

  Hello

  Put the hard drive from the old computer in the new computer as a 2nd drive. Or turn the player
  in an external USB enclosure. Or the other must allow you to access the files.

  I hope this helps.

• OfficeJet Pro 8600 not giving orientation options when printing photos from the main tray

  Greetings, all.

  I searched this issue, but I have not found anything, so this is:

  I have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 911 and an iMac (21.5 inch, end 2013) running OS X 10.9.2 Mavericks.

  The problem comes when I try to print a photo 4 x 6 from the main drawer - in the print dialog box, the image is oriented the wrong way on the preview. No matter if I rotate the image or not, it does a perpendicular orientation. In the print dialog box, there is no orientation option to change from portrait to landscape or vice versa, even if

  I checked the software update of the Mac and the Pro 8600, but there is nothing available.

  I am pleased to learn that the Preview will allow you adjust orientation, at least, we know that this is possible. Apple is the one controlling the features such as that within the application. Click here: view contact information of apples. Apple Support Forums are also available here:

  Kind regards

• How to transfer files from an old windows XP computer to a new computer windows 7?

  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.
  These are special cables, but they are not expensive.

  Connect two computers using a crossover cable (XP - Windows 7 may be the same)

• 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.

• Is there a way to transfer files from a computer that has no power on a work computer?

  I have a new computer because my old one no longer lights due to a charging problem. The battery only lasts a few seconds, and the old computer does not work on AC. The computer's power cable is fine, it is internal to the old computer. My question is, is it possible to transfer files from my old computer, which has no power to the new? The old computer is running Windows XP, and the other running Windows 7. I look forward to an answer and I appreciate the time.

  Mark T.

  original title: transfer of content.

  You can buy an adapter cable that will connect the hard drive of your old computer to your new computer as a USB device.  For example:
