Windows 10: File Transferring on an Unusable Windows System

Hi everyone!


I accidentally overfilled my C: drive 30GB left out of 558GB! and as a result Windows is so slow it's completely unusable. I'm saving up for a much bigger external hard drive and/or sufficient cloud storage to keep all of my data online, but for now the only option I have is to move files from the C: drive to the D: drive and hopefully free up enough room on C: for Windows to limp along until I have a more permanent solution. My question is, how can I do this without a functional operating system? Is there an affordable boot disk available that will either boot directly into Windows or into a utility that can do the file transfer? I do have access to a working Windows 10 system, so making a recovery disk from that is a potential option if it will allow for moving files between drives.


Thank you!

:)

 

Need Help Files Transfer

I have a computer running Windows XP Home Edition. That computer has two internal HDDs:

The 1st HDD is C:\ that running Windows. And it has 20GB total of capacity.
The 2nd HDD is D:\ that is empty. And it has 90GB total of capacity.

The C:\ drive is almost run out of space (full). Is there a way I can transfer everything in the C:\ drive to the D:\ drive and begin to use the D:\ drive from there on as primary drive?
Can the Windows Files Transfer feature in XP transfer everything I have in C:\ to D:\? If it cannot, then which way can I use to perform the above step?

Thank you.

 

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?
