Windows 10: I'm 85 and trying to migrate from a win i3 desktop computer to a win i7 desktop computer.

I have the i3 running with one monitor and the i7 running with 2 monitors, all on my desk. On the i7 machine I had installed 100G storage device in the "cloud", to use to move files between machines. I have huge number of files in my i3 machine in OUTLOOK and it is still running Win 7. The this, my new Machine, is running Win 11.

Unable to view files on Desktop on Win 10 computer with Win 7 computer

I am trying to move a file from the desktop of my Win 7 computer to that of the Win 10 computer. I find the Win 10 desktop with User => me => Desktop, but only a couple of files appear, and I cannot paste the one I want to move.

setup remote access to win 7 computer

I'm trying to help my elderly mom with her win 7 computer from afar and it's frustrating without seeing what it looks like on her end and she doesn't understand basic windows terminology even from 2 decades ago! I'm using Win 10 and downloaded Remote Desktop
App. Looking for step by step instructions, preferably with screen shots, since I have to talk her through it over the phone and I've forgotten what Win 7 desktop even looks like.

If there's a better way to do it than Remote Desktop, I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks!

 

windows 10 deleted my desktop files

Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

copied all files again to desktop.

Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

• Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
• Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
• Click on Users, select your User name
• Go to desktop folder

Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.
