Moving files and settings from old computer to new computer

[PompousPreacher]

He's moving into the future....with Windows Vista!

[Voiveikkuli]

Atleast now he knows how to move files back to xp, vista sucks

[mastax1234]

one option would be to take the old hard drive out and connect it to your new pc with a sata cable, so now you got two hard drives

[howto4u]

@imjustdope For programs, you'd probably have to have a disc with the install files or an executable file that installs the software. You won't be able to transfer an already installed program very easily because once you install a file it puts a lot of other files into different directories. You would have to be able to replicate every folder that every file goes into, and even then you might have trouble because it wouldn't be in the registry. You can transfer the FL files you've created.

@howto4u

Thanks alot,

so that means i gotta spend 400 dollars again..?

[howto4u]

@imjustdope Or you might try contacting the company that makes the software to see if you can get a copy of the same software for your new PC.

[Radu287]

Forget about that thumb drive bullshit! Team Viewer FTW

[donttryit1]

Or you can be even more modern and use a usb transfer cable.

[ricardoguy222]

tanks so much.

[emachines390]

can i transfer like, set up files? i have this game called crossfire and i still have the setup file in my "downloads" folder, can i just transfer it over? or do i have o go and download it on my new computer?

[howto4u]

@emachines390 I'm not familiar with that game, but I think that you could just move the file from one machine to the other as long as you put the file in the same folder where the game looks for it.

[emachines390]

@howto4u ok thank you

[FusionsStudio]

@howto4u can i transfer gimp 2.6 and wordgraph they are programs i downloaded

[howto4u]

@FusionsStudio You will have to reinstall them.

[kenork493]

[BoomBox124]

i dont really think he needed to upgrade his computer....seemed to be running fine with xp

[paintballec]

at 0:03 i thought my phone was vibrating :]

[masterdirector6]

LOL

[based747]

Great video. I found it quite hillarious how the guy didn't seem AT ALL pissed about the fact that some of his apps may not even work on Vista. lol. This is where most people will install the FAR superior XP on the crapola Vista machine. Nice video though!!!!! A+

[ashthepokemonmaster]

total hippi

[ashthepokemonmaster]

lol yeah he is

[southpolegansta69]

u need a flash drive right

[ashthepokemonmaster]

or a external hard drive

[fabian7197]

hai guys recently i installed window 7 beta, n the os ran smoothly. But i found out the system said it did not detect any output jack, i use xp os. Can u solve this problem for me..THKS.

[crikeyentertainment]

fabian7197, head to device manager, and see if there is any unknown devices. I get output to work on mine. if there are unknows devices, you gotta find the drivers

[Drakonmage]

Most useful to use a external hard-drive, but it's way more expencive

[gamer2502]

vista awesome? lol lol lol!!!!!

[geekboy20]

i agree vista is utter crap, i just finish installing windows xp professional sp3

[thepouchka]

can i transfer files from one comp to another by hooking them up with a usb and after i hook them up what do i do?

please reply.

[sunil557]

instead of copying one by one at a time. you could use Windows Xp files and settings transfer wizard. its the most easiest way to transfer everthing including outlook settings, desktop and so on.

[chrisislegend412]

Yeah this video was really well done almost like it was on telivision. Well i am subscribing

[joferr37]

these people here are good.

[FatBoyDizzleProjects]

dude thats the same exact new hp i jsut got, and i have that same monitor and the wirless key board and mouse!

[Addepspfan93]

Funny video

[KillerZetzz]

How my GB is the Thumb drive? please reply.

[howto4u]

If you have a lot of music or photos or videos, get as big a drive as you can find or afford, although some larger drives are not compatible on all PCs. We used 2 GB for this video, but we didn't have a lot of files. If you have a lot of files, you may have to transfer the files over in batches. Or use an external USB hard drive. Or try one of the cable transfer options like Laplink or Windows Easy Transfer.

[KillerZetzz]

Well i have 3 files that are more than 1GB so that is already 3 GB plus other important small files so if i get a 4 or 6 GB Thumb Drive will i be able to transfer those files? im using a laptop, Windows XP and my New computer is a Brand new laptop with Vista

[howto4u]

Yes, if you get a thumb drive that is larger than all your files combined you will be able to transfer them all at once. If you get for example a 2 GB thumb drive, you may have to move one file at a time.

[KillerZetzz]

ok thx alot =)

[howto4u]

np, good luck

[thepouchka]

can i transfer files via usb yeah?

[KillerZetzz]

i have over 3GB of files i need to transfer from a laptop(XP) to another laptop(Vista)

[fotofinish4]

if you have an external hard drive, that may be more helpful since it holds a lot more than the thumb drive

[KillerZetzz]

Whats the size(GB) of the Thumb Drive??

[SLmedia1234]

[Virus2020]

rofl WOOOOOW this is basically a video for very very very very very vvvvvveeeerrryyyy noobish people...in fact its a video for people who never used a computer in their life lol...i learned this stuff all by myself i didnt need any instructions...just time...the video is kinda pointless cause people learn this stuff by themeselves there is no logic to it, it's just basic desktop browsing and organizing that you learn after a week or 2 of having a pc

[Virus2020]

rofl WOOOOOW this is basically a video for very very very very very vvvvvveeeerrryyyy noobish people...in fact its a video for people who never used a computer in their life lol...i learned this stuff all by myself i didnt need any instructions...just time, and btw Vista sucks tremondously it's not even worth to have it on any system...only good thing i see about it is that it looks nice and it has dx10 thats about it, the video is a little pointless cause ppl learn this by themeselves evetually

[carlitosII6]
