    Copy network settings to usb stick?


    In Windows 7 I could copy my network settings to a usb stick and transfer it to another machine just by clicking on the file generated - really simple. But I can't find the same option in Win 10 - Anybody?

    :)

    copying network settings

    Hi Gregg, you can do the with Powershell . . .

    Right click your Start Button, choose Powershell (admin)

    Run this command - You need to change your profile name and where you want to save to. The key must also be exported in clear text if you want to restore it on another PC.

    netsh wlan export PROFILE name="YourNetwork" folder="E:\Profiles" key=clear

    On the other PC, open Powershell as Admin and run this command, once again changing PROFILE and backup file location

    netsh wlan add PROFILE filename="E:\Profiles\Wi-Fi-YourNetwork.xml"

    Not sure about doing it through GUI but if you mean Wi-Fi you can export with Code: netsh wlan export profile name="YourNetwork" folder="E:\Profiles" key=clear[/quote] and import with Code: netsh wlan add profile filename="E:\Profiles\Wi-Fi-YourNetwork.xml"[/quote] You need to change your profile name and where you want to save it of course. The key must also be exported in clear text if you want to restore it on another PC.

The quoted text is a direct translation from Danish - not sure about the englih name for it, but hope you get it.
