• 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.

• How can I transfer emails Outlook Express from one computer to another using an easy transfer cable?

  The transfer is via the easy transfer cable. Want to transfer files from existing electronic mail (Inbox, folders, etc.) to a new Dell computer.

• Easy transfer cable detection problem

  While trying to transfer files etc. from old computer using Windows XP Professional version 2002 service pack 3 for new computer using Windows 7, I get a message on the old computer indicating "Cable Easy Transfer undetected." The cable is fine because it works with another computer.

  FOR ANYONE WHO IS STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM I THOUGHT IT!

  Shouldn't the Systemengineer Microsoft had to know this?

  Here's what worked for me.

  1. on your XP machine, check if you have Windows XP 32 bit (x 86) that you use/download version 32-bit (x 86) Windows Easy Transfer.

  2 install.

  3. you must now do a right-click 'my computer' and select 'Properties'. Go to the "hardware" tab and click on "Device Manager".

  3. now that you're 'Device Manager' connect your easy transfer cable.

  4. it should refresh and you should now see 'cable devices transfer' (mine had a question mark logo, which indicates that the driver was not installed...) Click the small 'sign' next to him and less must be something called 'Simple cable USB transfer' (this is what it says for my Dynex brand cable anyway...)

  5. right click and select "Properties". Go to the tab "driver", then click on "Update Driver".

  6. the "Welcome to the Hardware Update Wizard" should appear. Select "install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and click "Next".

  7. Select "Search for the best driver in these locations" and also select "include this location in the search:

  8. now click on 'Browse' and navigate to the folder where Windows Easy Transfer installed in (something like7\cable C:\Program Files\Windows Easy Transfer according to your drive letter) "cable" is important. This is the driver. Now click 'ok'.

  9. click on ""Next ' and it should be a small thing of research. " Then when it's done it will probably say that your driver has been installed. It must not be an exclamation mark next to the name in "Device Manager" more.

  10. now run Windows Easy Transfer and it should recognize the cable. It actually automatically recognize the cable now when you plug it in.

  For some reason when you install Windows Easy Transfer it does not install the cable driver and you must do it manually.

  Now, I had another problem with mine. He repeated (on my Win7 machine) that it would take something ridiculous like 4 hours... then on my XP machine, a box would come and say "Trying to reconnect" and everything to stall. Disable your screen saver, screen off and standby (in power settings) on both computers. If that not help I also found that you do the transfer in the sections, do not try to transfer ALL in one session. As I made my photos, and when this was done I did my music, etc...

  I really hope this helps someone. I hope I've heard a few comments!

• Using Easy Transfer of Win 7 PC to another Win 7 PC with 1 single monitor

  II want to transfer files and settings on a PC running Windows 7 SP1 to another PC running the same operating system. I have only 1 monitor. How to make the transfer with 1 single monitor?  If I can do it with 1 monitor PC must be connected to the monitor? Or what I have to go back between the 2 PC's? Thank you. (Stupid question, I guess, but I need some advice).

  Hi Harry,.

  Yes, you can use a system image to transfer the data.

  However, Windows Easy Transfer is a software assistant to transfer files and settings from one computer running Windows to another. You can transfer data from one user or multiple user accounts profile. Easy transfer Windows application will help you choose what to move to your new computer, you can set the transfer method to use and then performs the transfer. Once the transfer is done, Windows easy transfer reports displays what was transferred and provides a list of programs that you can install on your new computer, as well as links to other programs you can download.

  With Windows Easy Transfer, files and settings can be transferred using a network, a flashdrive USB (UFD), or the easy transfer cable. However, you cannot use a regular universal serial (USB) bus cable to transfer files and settings using Windows Easy Transfer. You can buy a cable to transfer files on the Web, the manufacturer of your computer, or at an electronics store.
  noteNote
  You can't use Windows Easy Transfer to move program files. Windows Easy Transfer can move only data and program settings. You must then install your software on the new computer.

  Windows Easy Transfer, also, does not transfer any system files such as fonts and drivers. To do this, you must install custom and updated fonts to update drivers in Windows 7.

• Can I use transfer EZ of WindowsXP SP2 for Windows7 using EZ transfer cable or should I upgrade to SP3. Same Q to use USB Fash drive.

  Transfer files, etc. from XP to windows7 using EZ transfer cable or need to use a USB Flash drive?

  Hi easyeddy,

  1. are you referring to Windows Easy Transfer?

  If you're referring to Windows Easy Transfer, Windows Easy Transfer for Windows XP supports the following operating systems:
  1 Windows XP SP2 to Windows Vista.
  2. Windows Vista to Windows Vista.

  In your case, you cannot use Windows easy transfer to transfer files from XP to Windows 7 because it does not support. You should consider using a USB FlashDrive to transfer/move your files from Windows XP to Windows 7.

  For more information, see the following articles.
  1 see Windows Easy Transfer for Windows XP
  2. see the section migration of files from Windows XP to Windows 7 in this article

  You can consider installing Service Pack 3 (SP3) on your computer. See download Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3)

• I'm trying to transfer data from hard disk of Vista again Windows 7 with the StarTech easy transfer cable. Is not interesting! Help please?

  My Dell laptop is quite old and SLOW but effective. I bought a new Toshiba Windows 7 laptop, and they had ideally made available a kit to transfer all the data from the old computer again. For windows USB transfer cable. Well, I loaded the CD and he always tells me that the compputers cannot read each other, to load the CD on my old computer. I'm on the flat. Called their tech support was a joke. Thought it would be so simple and now I want my $30 money back and may need to use the thumb or the CD burning command to transfer files.

  Anyone out there use this easy transfer cable and be successful?

  Many thanks to whom can help forever (or the cable my be used for some are completely other purpose if are getting my drift).  Thank you all!

  Hello

  Perhaps you use a defective cable, and also a standard USB cable cannot be used to transfer files and settings between computers.

  I suggest you to make Windows easy transfer on a network.

• 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!

• USB easy transfer cable question

  bought this after the visit of this forum, but I'm still lost, not really computer savy with regard to this kind of procedure. I have an old computer that I want to transfer photos/media on my new computer, the Member of the forum said it would be the easiest way, so I bought it. But still I don't know how to do this. Make:

  (a) follow my old computer, plug in the cpu of the computer, plug the usb cable and do it this way? or I don't

  (b) plug the new computer, disassemble the old computer, but plug the CPU? I'm really not understanding how it will work, because I need to be able to view what I do from your old computer (to the extent where to locate the files to be transferred).

  any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thnx.

  Hello again,

  You may want to leave the old computer intact with keyboard/mouse and connected to a monitor. You want to set up your new computer with mouse/keyboard and the monitor. Now, follow these instructions to eHow on How to use an easy transfer cable. You will need to install the software provided with the cable to both computers and when you are prompted, you connect the USB cable to both computers.

  I hope this helps.

• We made an update on all the pc company and going from XP to 7. Easy transfer does not seem to see computers that aren't on the same network segment.

  Try using the simple transfer of transfer from old pc (XP) user profiles to their new pc (7). Easy transfer does not seem to see through switches. If I have 2 machines in different parts of the plant the application will not be the handshake. What I am doing wrong?

  Nothing.  The 'old' and 'new' computers must be on the same subnet.  You can use the intermediate storage.

• Easy transfer does not matter the favourites and any settings and Outlook *.pst.

  I try to use Easy Transfer to migrate files and settings user from a Vista computer on a Windows 7 computer. I created the WET migration file (either 3 separate files on a USB key). When I launch and run WET is WET on the new computer, important files and settings. However, when it ends by providing the report, Outlook files are not transferred. Open Outlook gives an error message the *.pst file is not found and none of the e-mail settings are present. Also, IE favourites did not import and lack. I don't know that these points have been included in the migration from the old computer. Is it possible to open the migration files to search for *.pst and Favorites folder file to copy manually, or is there another way to integrate these Articles? I don't have the old computer longer to copy them directly from it are not an option. Thanks for any help.
