Getting Started with Windows 7
Windows Easy Transfer
Windows Easy Transfer helps you move les, folders, program settings, and system settings from your
old PC to your new one. With the newest version of Windows Easy Transfer, you can leave the transfer
unattended. If Windows encounters a le or setting that it can’t transfer, it will complete the rest of the
migration and then show you any items that failed to transfer and give you the option to try again.
Windows Easy Transfer also works well if you’re adding a second PC. With the new Windows Easy Transfer
le explorer, you can see les on other PCs and choose the ones you want to copy to your new PC. If
you’re not sure what you want to transfer, you can use the new Selective Restore feature to save all the
les and settings on your old PC to removable media. You can then choose the les and settings you
want to transfer. Everything else remains safely stored in your Windows Easy Transfer archive, in case you
want to access it later.
You’ll need the same version of Windows Easy Transfer on all PCs to transfer les, folders, program
settings, and system settings. For PCs running Windows 7, Windows Easy Transfer automatically copies
the latest version of Windows Easy Transfer to other PCs running Windows 7 after you’ve connected
them. If you’re running Windows Vista or Windows XP, however, you will need to manually install the
Windows 7 version of Windows Easy Transfer on your PC from the installation media in Windows 7 before
you can begin transferring data.
Windows Easy Transfer helps you move your
les, folders, and settings to your new PC.
