Windows "Easy Transfer", isn't.....Help please
Anonymous Coward User ID: 851901 United States 04/08/2010 10:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Windows "Easy Transfer", isn't.....Help please Windows "Easy Transfer" installed on old computer and new computer. Old computer has Vista Home. New Computer has Windows 7. Loaded CD on old computer using "Easy Transfer". Nothing will load from the CD on new computer, also using "Easy Transfer". It keeps asking me for a file name. None are suggested or offered. Every file name I try is rejected. Have hours invested. Toshiba doesn't know how to fix it and Microsoft wants to charge me $59. Anybody? -

Burn a CD-R or close the CD R/W and try again.

It's much easier and much faster than using writable CDs to transfer files. It also takes a lot of the guess work out of it since you can see the files transfer over.

Quoting: Alchemical I tried two different jump drives. Neither one of them worked either.

It is much faster and more reliable this way :)

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 750976 I have done the drag and drop before on other computers but I have forgotten how to access the files I want to transfer. I dont know how with Windows 7.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 851901 look in documents and your desktop, copy those. as far as programs go make a list and reinstall. don't have 7 so i'm unaware of how it is configured but it has to be possible to do the same thing.
