Windows 10: New Victus crashes when I try file transfer

I got a new computer after my old one broke. Great news, it's a gaming laptop, and I can run 3d games with less crashes now! Though admittedly, sometimes some stuttering or soft freeze. There are games that literally would not run on my HP Pavillion x360 that I can run on here. Bad news, I can't file transfer between my Nintendo Switch or phone. USB file transfer seems to be alright, but it keeps not responding if I try to even copy a single photo from one of them. The effect is more dramatic on the Nintendo Switch as some of the freezes don't clear up and I call on Task Manager to fix them,

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.

 

File transfer

Hi Paul,

Thank you for keeping us updated.

Files are automatically transferred to the new operating system when you upgrade therefore, you need not transfer anything. If you created a backup before you initiated the upgrade, you could've restored the files should there be any data loss. However,
if there are some missing files, I would suggest you to try the steps suggested above and check if you are able to retrieve the files.

Hope this helps.

 

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?
