Windows 10: Transfer files & Windows 10 Pro to another hard drive?

I apologize if this is the wrong sub!

Basically, my Windows 10 Pro and some other personal files are on a smaller SSD, and I just bought a bigger SSD. Is there a way for me to transfer my Windows 10 Pro OS from the smaller SSD to the bigger SSD without having to reinstall the entire OS again (maybe cloning the hard drive?)?

I wasn't sure if Microsoft had an option to do this or not.

Thanks in advance (if this doesn't get removed)!

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?

 

recovering files and transferring them to another internal hard drive

Operating System Windows 10 professional version 1607 Build (14393.222)

Operating system is on an internal hard drive (534 GB free of 683 GB)

The computer has 32 GB flash cache.

I think the operating system has become corrupt even though no corruption is found or fixed with scannow or restorehealth.

The computer once had windows 7 professional and it had upgrade/downgrade rights and was upgraded to windows 10 professional.

There is an empty bay for an additional internal hard drive on this computer.

Windows easy transfer was once an option to transfer files from one computer to another but disappeared for windows 10. There is a company selling a product to replace windows easy transfer.

What are the options other than the above to move files from this internal hard drive to another internal hard drive on another computer? Also I had never on my own recovered files on a failed drive. How do you find all of the appropriate files so that
you don't miss important files and how do you not transfer unneeded files that would take up hard drive space?

With the internal hard drive not being found by windows 10 professional in another computer I was unable to move the internal hard drive with the potentially corrupt os into the empty bay of another computer. Now I am considering placing an empty 1 TB internal
hard drive into the empty bay of the computer with the potentially corrupt windows 10 operating system. If this computer recognizes the two internal hard drives how would you move all appropriate files from one drive to the other?

Please indicate how to move files from one drive to another or one computer to another. I don't have a hardware enclosure or a cable that moves files.

Please indicate how to find the appropriate files that need to be moved.

Please indicate how to decide which files not to move.

Please indicate which steps to make before formatting or sanitizing the internal hard drive with the potentially corrupt os.

In addition to the 1Tb internal hard drive that is empty I also have an external 32 Gb flash drive that has on it windows 10 professional (setup.exe). It has 28.5 GB free of 31.9 Gb.

Once the appropriate files are recovered to the empty internal hard drive how would you then install the windows 10 operating system onto the internal hard drive? Would you have to install the operating system first onto the internal hard drive? If so
how would you do that? I have recovery media for windows 7 pro and windows 10 pro. If you need to install the os first how would you do this with the potentially corrupt os on the internal hard drive with important files and an empty internal hard drive?
Would it have to be a double transfer (transfer important files from the internal hard drive that has a potentially corrupt os to an empty internal hard drive then transfer the files back to another internal hard drive that already has on it the os) of files?

 

I need to convert Quattro pro files to windows Office 2007

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/ha010448731033.aspx

Install the Quattro Pro 5.0 converter
To install the converter for Quattro Pro versions 1.0 through 5.0 for Windows, do the following:

Click Start on the Windows taskbar, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
Click the name of the Microsoft Office 2000 or Microsoft Excel 2000 program that you have, and then click Add/Remove.
Click Add or Remove Features, and locate the Quattro Pro 5.0 Converter under Microsoft Excel for Windows.
Click Run From My Computer to install the converter to your hard disk.
Click Update Now.
Open a Quattro Pro file
To open a Quattro Pro file in Excel, follow these steps:

Click Open on the File menu.
In the Look in list, click the drive or folder that contains the file you want to open, and then locate the folder that contains the file.
In the Files of type list, click Quattro Pro 1.0/5.0 (Win) (*.wb1) if your files are from Quattro Pro for Windows versions 1.0 through 5.0, or click Quattro Pro/DOS Files (*.wq1). The former requires installation of the converter, as outlined above, before it appears in the list.
Double-click the file you want to open.
Notes

You cannot save files in the Quattro Pro 1.0/5.0 (Win) (*.wb1) format. If you open one of these files and make changes to it, you can save changes by saving as a Microsoft Excel Workbook (*.xls) or in another spreadsheet format.
You can save changes in the Quattro Pro/DOS format, but changes made using features that are unique to Excel may be lost.

You can open a file created in another program, such as Lotus 1-2-3 or Quattro Pro, in Microsoft Excel the same way you would open an Excel file. You can then save the file in its original file format or as an Excel workbook using the standard Excel save commands. Files saved as Excel workbooks might not retain all of their original formatting, and features and formatting of an Excel workbook might not be available in other programs.
