  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.

  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. I can't use transfer to move files to the new computer

  I used windows easy transfer to back up my files to an external hard drive before doing a clean install of windows 7, XP.

  I am unable to find any "windows easy transfer" files on the hard drive for transfer to the new computer.

  ALL the files from my old computer are there and I am able to access it from the external hard drive.

  Please tell me there is an easy way to transfer files and I don't have to do it manually.

  What is the error message when you try to restore files in Windows 7?

  Also, did you really use the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard to back up your files or did you use the built in the files and Settings Transfer wizard in Windows XP? If you used the files and Settings Transfer Wizard, that won't work no.

  You must install Windows Easy Transfer on Windows XP, save the files as one. MIG file on your external drive, restore it on the Windows 7 computer. See for instructions:

  It is a small (50 GB) HD who do not have much space available on it (I'm not in front of it now).  Is there a minimum amount of free space needed to run this executable? That is why it is a failure?

  Could there be other issues behind this failure?

  Cannot install files of Vista in Windows 7 with Windows Easy Transfer

  I got files on the old computer (Windows Vista 32 bit). They are now stored on my external hard drive. I have a new computer with Windows 7. Using Windows Easy Transfer, I transferred the original files on the external hard drive before stopping the old computer. Now, I'm trying to install the files on Windows 7 using the file transfer tool. It won't work. What I am doing wrong?

  Yes, you will need to use the Win7 transfer utility to export files in Vista.

  Can I remove the file 'SaveData.mig' after I run Windows Easy Transfer?

  Can I remove the file 'SaveData.mig' after I run Windows Easy Transfer?

  I used easy transfer to move files from an old computer to my new about 12 months ago. The SaveData.mig file takes 22 GB of space on the new computer. I would like to remove it but I don't know if it will mess up all my files that have been transferred to my new computer. Anyone know if I can delete this file in order to free up space? Thank you

  I agree with Mohdrafi - you can remove safely; However, you should have a more recent backup of your current files just to be on the right side (image FULL weekly backup and an incremental backup every day for an external HARD drive - I've seen too many people get burned when their drive hard breaks down or something worse and then they lose all their precious documents (, photos, audio and other files).  There ARE recovery procedures, but they don't always work, and they don't always get everything (especially if you expect to solve the problem or continue to use the PC in the meantime)- and depending on your version of Vista.  Delete this file will NOT affect the files and settings that you restored using the process.  Could have deleted it hours after that the process has been done (once you have a good backup) and it would have been very well then.  If you have a good backup, I can see no reason whatsoever to keep the file.

  If the normal delete function in Vista doesn't work, try using one of the following free products to remove the file.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

  Congratulations to the use of Easy Transfer - this is a pretty cool tool isn't it?  Not sure how many threads that we have here people with issues or recoving given him--I saw a lot.  It seems easy on the surface, but when it doesn't work it can become quite complex and aggravating (and I know people who have unfortunately never were able to retrieve their data and settings no matter what we tried).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
