Transferring files, folders and settings with Easy transfer for Windows 7
|
I know a lot of people are bringing back 'snazzy' little netbook computers from the UK. After all, they're very small and easily fit between the towels in your suitcase ('nod and a wink!')
Problem is: transferring those user accounts, files & folders, program data files & settings, e-mail messages, settings & contacts, photos, music & videos and windows & internet settings from the old PC/Laptop running XP onto your nice, new, shiny netbook running Windows 7.
Two choices here: either spend a day or, two manually setting everything up and copying all those files across OR, save valuable time by finding a way to complete the task automatically.

Easy transfer for Windows 7
|
Windows Easy transfer for Windows 7 is a 'little known' Microsoft program/utility that automates the transfer of files, folders and settings (from one computer running XP to another running either: XP, Vista or, Windows 7)
The program/utility is very easy to use and, depending upon the amount and size of files, can take as little as 15 minutes of your time, leaving you with a password protected archive of all your files, folders and settings!

Easy transfer for Windows 7 - A quick how-to!
|
Use the link (above) to download and install the appropriate version of the utility/program onto the computer running Windows XP before running it by clicking "Start" then, "All Programs" then, "Windows Easy Transfer for Windows 7."
A welcome screen outlines what the program can do, telling you that it lets you copy files and settings from one computer to another with no information being deleted/lost from the old computer.
Start the process by clicking "Next" before choosing a media type to use to transfer the data and then, confirm that this is your "old computer" (the computer running XP)
I normally use a USB memory stick to store and transfer the data, but you can use a special lead, detachable hard disk drive or, even transfer the files and settings across a network.
The program automatically checks what can be transferred and then, gives you the option to deselect any information that you do not wish to copy across. You can password protect the file if you wish before clicking "Save" to complete the process. This utility/program is included in Windows 7 so, it doesn't need to be downloaded/installed a second time. Just run the program on the Windows 7 machine and follow the instructions.
