Dear All,

I used Easy transfer in Windows 7 as a vehicle to transfer files to Windows 10 however the software will not open on Window 10; advice would be gratefully received.

Regards

    Dear All,

    Thank you

    Your solutions fired up inspiration within, and I salute you all! Using a combination of a USB Flash drive and We Transfer I now have my documents stored on an external device.

    With my very best wishes to you all

    Blue

    Try to transfer your files again by doing this:

    Click on A network and choose This is my old computer.

    You’ll see some instructions and you’ll see a Windows Easy Transfer key. You will need to use this key on the new computer.

    Now go to your new Windows machine and start the Windows Easy Transfer wizard.

    Then scroll to the right and you’ll see it under Windows System.

    In Windows 10, you’ll need to either download the Windows 7 64-bit WET in the link I have above or you can do it yourself by going to the following folder on your Windows 7 PC:

    C:\Windows\System32\

    Find the migwiz folder and copy it to a USB flash drive or to the cloud, etc. However you do it, just copy that entire folder to your Windows 10 PC and then double-click on migwiz.exe.

    Now follow the same steps as above: click Next on the welcome screen, choose a network for how you want to transfer, and then choose This is my new PC. On the next screen, you have to tell Windows whether you installed Easy Transfer or if you’re running Windows 7, in which case it’s already installed.

    Click Next. You’ll get the instructions to go to your old PC and get the key, which you already did.

    Click Next again.

    Now go ahead and type in the key that you got from your old computer and click Next. The program will download any updates to the Easy Transfer program first:

    Once it has done that, it will scan the user accounts on the old computer (which takes a few minutes) and tell you exactly how many MBs worth of data will be transferred.

    Windows Easy Transfer is not available in Windows 10

    However, Microsoft has partnered with Laplink to bring you PCmover Express—a tool for transferring selected files, folders, and more from your old Windows PC to your new Windows 10 PC.

    Hi Blueeyesandmale

    My name is Fernando. I am an Independent Advisor. I am here to guide you with your Easy Transfer in Windows 7 and Windows 10.

    There is probably an incompatibility issue with the program. There are two things you can try. One is contacting the vendor to see if they can confirm there is an incompatibility or you can set Windows to run this program in compatibility mode.

    To do so, here ia a link.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask me any questions and let me know how it goes.

    Respectfully,

    Fernando Y.
