Windows Easy Transfer has not moved during my emails

I tried to use Windows Easy Transfer, with a cable to transfer for Windows 7, to transfer files from my old computer runnning XP to a new Win7 running.  E-mail account settings MS Outlook, contacts and emails has not been transferred.  I can't work on the why and the 'Live' help center couldn't offer me suggestions.  Can anyone help?

Then Windows easy transfer saved you a lot of grief. WET does not work with the data Outlook.
If you still have access to the old machine, find the pst file (named Outlook.pst usually and it is a hidden file) and copy it with closed Outlook.

Then read here on how to transfer Outlook data correctly:
How to backup and restore Outlook

http://Office.Microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010771141033.aspx

There are outdated information on some of these pages, specifically with regard to Outlook 2003 and 2007.

The main points to note:
1. do NOT use the import/export feature to move Outlook data from one version to the other - all you have to do is to copy the PST, with closed Outlook.

2. do NOT paste paste the copied into the default location - pst file in your Documents folder (for example) and then do file-open-Outlook Outlook data file.

  • 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?

  • Windows easy transfer is not easy and not transfer

    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.

      NOTE standard USB cable: A cannot be used to transfer files and settings between computers.

    • Network: both computers must be connected to the same cable or wireless network and both computers must be able to share files and folders.

    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.

      Original title: Windows easy transfer does not work

      I anm try to transfer a profile of an old XP machine to my Win 7 PC.

      When I try to run Windows Easy Tranmsfer on the Win7 PC I get an error Application failed to start correctly (0xc0000142)

      How can I get it to work?

      You must use the Windows 7 PC easy transfer utility to create the file to transfer on the XP PC. The file generated by the XP version of the utility is not compatible with Windows 7

      On the Windows 7 PC to run the Windows easy transfer utility

      On the home screen select next and then choose the method of transfer (external drive)?

      Then select so this is my new computer, on the next screen, it asks if you have already saved your files, click on no, then I need to install it now.

      You can create the installation program on the device you want to use for the transfer as the external HARD disk or USB key. It will then copy the utility to transfer files on the selected device.

      Connect it to PC XP and run the transfer utility on the XP PC, which was created by Windows 7. It will recreate your file transfer but this time they should work on Windows 7 PCs.

    • Windows Easy Transfer refuses to start. How can make us it work?

      The old laptop of my son is a Windows 7 laptop. He recently bought a new laptop for Windows 8.1, and naturally he would like all its data, etc. migrate to the new machine. So naturally he's trying to use Windows Easy Transfer, but it does nothing for him. Whenever he tries to run it, it gets this error:

      Window easy transfer has encountered an unrecoverable error. Pleas restart the application.

      There is no other errors than that. He tried to launch Windows Easy Transfer normally and as an administrator; always had this error.

      He tried to connect in safe mode, but he refused to run Windows Easy Transfer at all.

      We have grown to a prompt as an administrator and run SFC/scannow, but it is no problem at all. All is well for what is Windows 7, Windows Easy Transfer should work. But he is not and refuses to start.

      We even chose to return to a previous restore point, but who does not work either.

      Since all this can't work, how in hell are OK, we supposed to get Windows Easy Transfer to work on this old machine Windows 7 when it will not be under all the circumstances I've specified here, work?

      (Moved to programs)

      Hi Rod,

      I apologize for the delay in response.

      It is likely that the Application cache is corrupted and causing this problem.

      Please, try the following steps:

      1. Go to "C:/Users / / AppData/Local'." "
      2. Delete folder named Migwiz.
      3. Try to run the transfer Windows Easy now.

      Hope this information is useful. Response please that if you need assistance or have any other question about Windows, we're here to help.

    • Windows easy transfer problem

      I used Windows Easy Transfer with the two computers under Windows Vista. I couldn't transfer files directly over the network because something with computer sizes are not compatible. Fact on the old computer (a laptop), I'm sure I downloaded the files on the network, but now I can't find where I saved from my new computer (a PC). I opened Windows Easy Transfer to know where I saved the documents, and he says "C;\from_old_computer\SaveData.MIG" which is actaull under a car calles OS (C). How can I get my files from my laptop on PC? and can I use the sharing of network as a vehicle? I have also already connected computers via the network, it works simply with the transfer.

      Hello

      I think that we do not follow the correct procedure to migrate the files and settings of the network drive where the backup is stored. Follow the steps mentioned below.

      Use a network drive for migrating files and settings

      1. look for the removable media or the network drive that contains the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard files, and then double-click Migwiz.exe to start Windows Easy Transfer.

      2. If you use other programs, you will need to close these programs. You can save your work in each program, and then close the programs individually. You can also click Close all in Windows Easy Transfer to close these programs immediately.

      3. click on next.

      4. click through a network.

      5. click on connect directly via network to begin the migration.

      Note: Click on save to network location if you want to store the files and settings in a file that will be loaded later. If you want to store the files and settings on a network drive, you will be asked to provide the path where you want to store the files and settings.

      6. click on everything - all accounts users, files, and program settings (recommended) to migrate all files and settings. If you want to determine exactly the files and settings you want to migrate, click only my user account, files, and program settings, or click Customize.

      7 examine the list that contains the files and settings you want to migrate, and then click Start. To add or remove files or settings from the list, click Customize.

      8. click close once Windows Easy Transfer has completed migrating files and settings to the destination computer.

    • Loss of historical emails using Windows Easy Transfer

      Was previously running Windows XP with Office 2010, including Outlook 2010. Want to upgrade to Office 2013 which does not work on Windows XP so decided to upgrade to Windows 7 Home premium.  Following the instructions in Microsoft that I used Windows Easy Transfer to save all settings and data by following the instructions on an external hard drive. Has also created a copy of My Documents just to be safe. Following the instructions I installed Windows 7, reinstalled the data and settings from the Windows download file is then installed Office 2013.

      All data files appear to be present and my contacts were all in Outlook 2013 however no historical emails were present. I had a lot of stored in subfolders under Inbox and sent messages and everything disappeared.

      It seems strange that all contacts were copied and transferred across using Windows Easy Transfer, but not historical emails. There is no specific reference to this problem in Microsoft "upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7 instruction set.

      Is it true that the files containing the e-mails were copied, but Outlook 2013 is looking for them in a different place, or does Windows Easy Transfer copy not the Inbox and sent to the files that would be a huge gap?

      Windows Easy Transfer is not good to backup Outlook emails at all.

      If you did a custom installation, check if the Windows.old folder to the root of the hard disk to see if your. PST file is there and copy it to your Documents folder in Windows 7.

      Save the folder outlook located under:

      C:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\Account_Name\Local Settings\Microsoft\Outlook

      When you migrate to Windows 7, and then reinstall Microsoft Office, just backup copy of the contents of the folder Outlook in the following location:

      C:\Users\Account_Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\

    • Having problems with Windows Easy Transfer

      I just bought a Dell laptop with W7 installed. It's all very well except the transfer of files/settings. I started the easy transfer and selected the option of wireless transfer. My old machine will connect to our router via a map of 54 Mbps and the new machine will connect to the router via a 24 GHz 802.11n built in the card. When all the files have been selected, they added up to 5.2 GB. I started the transfer, and it worked for 36 hours. For the last 6 hours, transfer screen said 1 minute left. Since the said warning do not use the computer that I don't know what to do. Is it possible to see if Easy Transfer is hung up? If it is blocked, how can it be restarted?

      Tahnks for your help!

      Wireless? Windows Easy Transfer is not something you do on a wireless connection. Use a wired connection, or create a .mig (Windows Easy Transfer file), save on an external hard drive or locally and transfer it to a new computer.

      install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD on the old computer (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) or download it at (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer).  run it and create a WET (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can have it stored there.

      You should be able to easily restore these files if they were created using Windows Easy Transfer in Windows Vista. Simply click Start, type: easy Windows press enter on your keyboard
       
      Follow the wizard screen, select the type of support that you restore your files, select the computer that you restore, navigate to its location, select the file .mig Windows Easy Transfer and click on restore.

      The Windows Easy Transfer Wizard, then analyze the content of the files and ask you what you want to restore if multiple accounts have also been supported.

      Once you have confirmed that you want to restore, click transfer to begin the restore process, after it is complete, the wizard will propose programs, you need to reinstall, and a list of what it has been transferred, you will be asked to restart your system to apply permanently changes.
