Transfering data from an old computer to a new one is really easy if you have access to the internet and a wireless network. Things You’ll Need: New computer with internet capability Old computer with internet capability A wireless network Step1 First, connect your old computer to the wireless network. Nowadays most people use the interent through a wireless network. So basically, if you have wireless internet and you are able to get on the internet, that means you are connected. Step2 Go into the networks settings. This is usually as simple as right clicking the network's icon and then clicking properties. What you want to do is turn on, "file and printer sharing" within the network. Step3 Now, go to the folders/data that you want to transfer. Right click or get into the properties of that folder. Check the box that says "share this fodler with network". Step4 On the new computer, connect to the wireless network. Under control panel or possibly the start menu, there should be an option for "My Network Places" or "My Network". In this folder you should find the data that you chose to share from your old computer. You can simply copy/paste or drag/drop the files to your new computer. If you don't have access to a wirelessnetwork/internet, you can use a jumpdrive to transfer data. These can be costly and usually can't hold very much memory. |

Fastest way! Crossed RJ45 cable. That is, computer to computer network. Very easy to set up the cable is just N50. I have my whole hard disk on my desktop, so i can format my laptop now if u send me any bad virus. Open My network places, Set up a small office network on both systems, restart, share ur hard disk on the network or use shared folder which is shared by default. U shud be able to view both computers on the other. |
