Windows 10: Best/Quickest method of transferring files.

Good afternoon,

My Brother-In-Law has several external HDD's which he wants to organise.

He wants to copy folders, and sub-folders from one location [F: for example] to another location [G: for example].

Would it be quicker to do this using the CMD prompt in Safe Mode using Copy, XCopy, or RoboCopy please?

Thanks in advance.

:)

 

Cable to transfer files

OMG. I have never met anyone who actually bought one of those file transfer things.



Firewire will do the same as USB, but faster, so will a cheap crossover cable. I can wlak you through the steps of moving data so you will not miss a beat.




Anything more than $10 to buy a cable is too much.

 

transfer files between computers on a home network

I don't know why this is so hard to do but I would like to transfer files between a desktop PC running windows 10 pro and a laptop running windows 10 home. I would like to transfer files in both directions. Both computers are on the same home network and are connected wirelessly.

Could some one provide either specific step by step instructions on how to do this (I googled and found a countless list of instructions that don't work)

or a link to a reference.

Thanks,

I don't know if this is possible but it would be nice to see the computer sending the desired file in the explorer file manager of the computer receiving the desired file and then under the computer see a list
of shared files and folders.

Again, this seems like such a reasonable way of sharing files and folders. Shouldn't there be a simple way to do this?

 

Error ox80070057: the parameter is incorrect while transferring the files to phone

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern, we will try our best to help you.

• What is the make and model of the phone and computer?

• Can you transfer files from other devices to computer?

I would Suggest you the following steps if you are unable to transfer files from any external devices.


Method 1:
This problem can occur if the decimal symbol is not set to '.' (Dot). This is common in languages and locales other than English (United States).
a. Press Windows key + X and select Region.
b. Click the Formats tab, and then click Additional settings.
c. In the Decimal symbol field, type. (Dot), and then click OK two times.
d. Restart the computer.

Method 2:

If the issue happens with all external devices then I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the USB port driver and check.

Hope this information helps you. Kindly post back with the updated issue for further assistance.



Thank you
