I recently bought a new Win 10 laptop. I transfered my data from my old win7 laptop to the new one via lan cable. But the copying speed fluctuates between 11 MBPS to 200 KBPS. And am talking about a single large file of about 11 GB. I don't get it. I am not using internet connection and only those two computers are connected via LAN. I just wanna know the reason for such fluctuation.

    Have you checked for an updated the NIC driver?

    • try a new Ethernet CAT5 cable and not run near noisy things; AC motors, microwaves, florescent lights)
    • try plugging into a different port on the router or switch.
    • reset your router
    • try setting the NIC from auto-negotiate to 100Mbps
