    Any official way to transfer data from a WIN10 PC to a different WIN10


    Howdy,

    I don't need to migrate apps. I just need to migrate data and settings if possible. Is there an automated way like the old Easy Transfer program where I can run a program one the Old and New computers and jsut have it go through and copy all the docs, picture, videos, desktop, etc (maybe even browser settings?) over without me having to do it manually?

    I have a laptop that was upgraded from 8 to 10 but it's now being replaced with a different one that is Windows 10 but is blank.

    Thanks.

    :)

    Migrating from one Win10 pc to a new Win10 pc

    The PC Mover Express is only a easy way - but not a free and easy way... Perhaps, that's why they have removed the Windows Easy Transfer?

    Migrating from one Win10 pc to a new Win10 pc

    My old pc is 7 years old and I want to buy a new one. What is the best way to move my old pc's files, system setup, programs to a new pc. If I do a backup of the old one and then recovery to the new one, will that work? Just looking for a simple hardware
    upgrade without the headache of reinstalling everything and physically moving all of my existing documents to the new one. The old pc has Win10 running on it.

    thanks,

    Steve

    No, sorry. It is usually simple enough to export/import browser favorites, documents, pictures, desktop, etc over to a USB drive and then over to the right folders on the new computer. The Easy Windows Transfer tool has been discontinued since Windows 8. There might be 3rd party programs, but certainly not Microsoft "official" ones.

    Both solutions mentioned should be good but I prefer the DVD route, copy the personal data to a disc [or more] o which then can be copied to the new computer but with the added bonus of having an archived backup which should have been done periodically anyway.
