• Can I use Easy Transfer to transfer my files and settinigs if my old Win 7 PC has a broken video card?

  The video in my old Win 7 machine is broken.  I am particularly interested in the transfer of all of the settings on my new computer Win 8.  The old machine has an external hard drive for backup purposes, but I do not know if this includes the parameters or a few files.

  Can I use easy transfer to access the internal hard drive, even if this computer has no video?  If there is no way to do it, my external backup disk has the parameters that I'm looking for and is accessible with Easy Transfer?  Other options?

  You must be able to see and access Windows Easy Transfer of two computers - they must be running and able to interact with. He has no way to initiate a transfer to a computer that has access to a second computer, without checking on the second computer you establish a transfer.  No work around, no other way to do it.  None. Your backup drives or external work not either except maybe to find a few files that can be moved.

• can I use easy transfer or transfer Assistant during the transition from XP to Vista / 7?

  XP - XP Easy Transfer

  What I can or I do not use Easy Transfer XP to Vista (or XP to Windows 7?) to transfer files, settings, etc. from a XP Pro (SP3) to another XP Pro PC, or what I need to use the files & Settings Transfer Wizard?  I can't find a definitive answer of 100% with it in correspondence of forum.  What if I transfer via an external hard drive or a shared network folder?

  [I guess there is no XP easy transfer dedicated to XP tool]

  Use the easy transfer program and send data on a cd or external hard drive.

• Can I use easy transfer of the hard disk Vista for 64-bit Windows 7 computer?

  My computer laptop 32 bit vista is dead, but the hard drive is intact.  I can access it using a disk blacx disk drive hard usb.  All files seem to be good.  I gave the disc all permissions for changes, etc., so that it is not just to read only.  He sees my new laptop running windows 7 64 bit.  I found files in the record Office of the old drive so that part works.

  I tried to use easy transfer in windows 7.  Installed on the old disk of vista.  But I can't launch the vista easy transfer since this computer is dead.

  Is there a way I can transfer my emails, photos, documents and the itune files?

  Thank you.

  You can use Knoppixhttp://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (made on a different computer).  This should give you sufficient access to the Vista system 'dead' (if you can not get in any other way) backup/transfer your important data (like everything else you mentioned) to the one you use (an external hard drive, flash player,...). You will not be able to save your settings or your programs because they require the enforcement system to use easy transfer and regular functions copy and paste will do the trick. If Knoppix doesn't work, try slaving the hard drive to another computer, and then after the data you want to save it.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Windows 7 Pro. Using Easy Transfer

  How to use easy transfer

  Good question:

  I used Windows Easy Transfer at least a hundred times - literally.  It works very well.  I've never had it mess up a system.  It takes time to run and could be hours if you have a lot of data.   So please be patient.

  Please understand at the outset that the DATA is what is transferred.  Applications or programs must be installed separately on the new system.  It is best if you first install the applications.

  WET gathers all DATA from specific locations on the old system, as well as all custom settings that you use from the old computer and produces a great big file that is stored on an external drive.  Then when you connect this same external drive to the new computer and run WET and identify yourself as a new, it copies all data in the right places.

  WET is a very good program.  However, hedge your bets and make a backup of the data from the old also.

  The Acronis program that you are probably referring is something completely different.  He makes an exact copy of the drive installed in the old that you can then copy to the new computer drive.  IT WOULD BE A BIG MISTAKE!  Big mistake because all the drivers and related to the new computer software would be replaced by the bad stuff from the old.  That imaging process is better used on the new computer before loading your programs or data.  The image is an insurance policy that can be used to re - build your computer should it become irreparably damaged or you need to replace the hard drive.

  I hope it's clear.  If this is not the case, just ask.

• 8 win does not see my Apps after "Easy Transfer" of Win 7 comp to Win 8 elem

  I used the "Windows Easy Transfer" tool to move my apps, settings, and files on my new computer. But the tool has not worked very well. 'Transfer' puts things, but win 8 of the new computer does not see my Apps from your old computer. For example, I use Open Office 4.01, but if I go to 'Control Panel' to see what is installed in the "Programs" Section, there is no open Office installed 4.01. The program seems to exist in an environment and windows doesn't see it.

  y at - it a way to make Windows 8 see all my apps I transferred? So I can manage them.

  Also in the future it would be better if all the "Windows Easy Transfer" from old computer applications and took the check to the new layout key, turn the key on the old model. In this way, all of my stuff would work on the new computer the way it is supposed to.

  Update:  Win 8 sees Open Office 4.01 when the search tool, it can be found, but Open Office 4.01 does still not show in the Program\Uninstall Menu in the control panel.

  FireFox also works perfectly well, but it can be found by using the search tool, and it does not appear in the Menu Programs\Uninstall. If it wasn't on my desk, it would be difficult to find.

  I wonder if this has something to do with some information indexing in progress, and if I wait a bit 8 victory will start to see my software?

  All software should be: Easy to install, easy to update, easy to uninstall and easy to Port again a new machine.

  Update: I used the Lenovo rescue tool to return my new PC to its original factory installation, purchased the software PCMover and carried everything using PCMover.

  Works very well. But I don't see that software porting is a matter that must be developed by software developers. With more people who buy software online, porting of old software while respecting issues related to licensing hassle is something they need to improve.

  My port Dragon speech recognition software not properly. It is a dynamic software that evolves as use you it, so reinstalling is something you never want to do.

  OK, this issue is also resolved that its going to go. Thanks for your help.

  Now to see if Win 8.1 will install correctly...

• 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!

• using Easy Transfer Wizard and past transfer cable not accepted

  I had an old pc running Windows XP 32-bit, and I wanted to transfer the data to my new Windows7 64-bit system.  I connected the cable to the machines and identified who was the former and that was new machines through the ETW dialogs.  Transfer began and then to halfway through on the new computer, it says that I should provide a password for some protected files.  He registered the account from your old computer.  I entered the old computer user name password and it does not accept the. I had my old pc for several years. He didn't is not on a domain so I had the same password for my user account for several years. I know as surely correct. Finally, after several attempts, I hit Cancel on the dialog box as well as the transfer continued.  After that is finished how I will be able to tell what files were not passed and why it declines the password?

  Are you sure that you do not confuse the authorization with a password key?

  

  During the wizard, one was generated for you to use on the new machine.

  You will probably have to cancel and start over.

• 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?
