Transferring files and settings using Windows Easy Transfer
Windows Easy Transfer, a Microsoft data migration tool, provides a guide that helps you choose the
files and data to transfer from another Windows computer to your Windows Vista Business workstation
and explains how to transfer it. You can use one of the following methods to migrate data:
●
Network—Use when the source computer and your workstation are connected to the same
network.
●
Easy Transfer cable—Use this specially designed USB cable to connect the source computer to
your workstation. Although an Easy Transfer cable is not a standard USB cable, it is commonly
available from local electronics suppliers.
●
DVDs or CDs—Use if you have writeable DVD or CD drives on the source computer and your
workstation.
●
USB flash drive or an external hard drive—Use to access the source computer and your
workstation.
To use the Windows Easy Transfer tool, select Start>All Programs>Accessories>System
Tools>Windows Easy Transfer.
