    Transferring files from old pc to new- where did the Windows app go?


    There used to be an easy way to set up a new windows computer from an older windows computer. I have a USB to USB cable connected, but am not finding the way I used in the past.

    Transfer all files from old PC to new one

    Windows Easy Transfer is not available in Windows 10

    • But now for the good news: Microsoft has partnered with Laplink to bring you

      PCmover Express       – a tool for transferring selected files, folders and more from your old Windows PC to your new Windows 10 PC. And even more good news – it’s free!

    Moving old Windows 10 PC to a new Windows 10 PC, how to transfer settings, program and files?

    Hi,

    To transfer files from your old laptop to your new one, you can use a Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive or a thumb drive. Follow the steps below:

    • Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port of your laptop.
    • Wait for the laptop to detect the USB drive.
    • Open a window for the files that you want to transfer and another window for the USB drive.
    • Select the files that you want to transfer, right-click and then click on
      Cut       or Copy.
    • On the destination window, right-click and select Paste.
    • Make sure that files are completely transferred before removing the USB flash drive.
    • Insert the USB into your new laptop.
    • Access the files once the USB drive is detected.
    • Repeat the same procedure on how you transferred or copied the files from your old laptop to the flash drive.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Transferring files from old pc to new- where did the Windows app go?

    Transfer files (Pictures, Documents) from a Windows 7 PC to a Windows 10 PC

    I recently purchased a new laptop with windows 10. My old laptop has windows 7. Can anyone list the step-by-step instructions for transferring the data to the new machine? I understand that windows easy transfer is no longer an option for windows 10.
