Easily transfer files between two computers

So, you've finally upgraded to a new computer. You're excited, because this probably means that you have a cleaner, faster computer and new, update
programs to play with.
But, you also have some work to do because you've
got files on your old
computer that you'll need to put on the new computer since you use them or need to access them on a regular basis.
So, you have to transfer
the files from one
computer to another.
Sounds easy enough.
Right? Yes. Here's how to do it:
Steps to transfer files from one computer to another:


Step One: Turn on the
computer that you want to transfer files from. In
your case, this is probably
the old computer that
you're not planning to use
any more.

Step Two: Go to the Start
Menu. Follow the links to
Programs, then
Accessories, then System
Tools and finally "Files and
Settings Transfer Wizard".
This latter button is also
known as F.A.S.T.; that's
good news for you
because if it goes right,
you're going to be using
that new computer in no
time.

Step Three: Follow the
instructions on the F.A.S.T.
Wizard program. These
should be clear.

Step Three, Part One: First,
you will choose which
computer you are on (easy
enough, you're on the old
one).

Step Three, Part Two: Then
you'll choose how to
transfer the files (you can
use a floppy disk, a direct
cable or a small home
network; the latter is a
common method of file
transfer between old and
new computers).

Step Three, Part Three:
Next, you'll select whether
you want to transfer just
files or also files and
settings. Unless you're
making some big changes
when you go to use the
new computer, you'll
probably want to select to
transfer both the files and
the settings from your old
computer to your new
computer.

Step Four: Turn on the
computer that you want
to transfer files to. In your
case, this is probably the
new computer that you're
excited to start using
soon.

Step Five: Repeat "Step
Two" on the new
computer to access the
F.A.S.T. Wizard.

Step Six: Follow the
instructions on the F.A.S.T.
Wizard program. These
should be clear.

Step Six, Part One: Choose
the computer that you are
on (easy again, now you're
on the new computer).

Step Six, Part Two: You
will be given a series of
options for how to
complete the transfer. If
you followed the above
steps, the choice that you
will want to make reads:
"I don't need the Wizard
Disk. I have already
collected my files and
settings from my old
computer."

Step Six, Part Three:
Choose the location where
the files were saved on
your old computer for
transferring them to your
new computer.

Step Seven: Having
completed all of the
instructions the F.A.S.T.
Wizard, your files should
now be transferred.
Restart your new
computer and double-
check to make sure that
everything went
smoothly. Your files from
your old computer should
appear intact on your new
computer.So, the process for
transferring files from
your old computer to your
new computer is an easy
one. If you're going to be
selling or merely not using
the old computer
anymore, you should
remove the files from the
old computer after the
transfer. Make sure that
you back-up the files
before you delete them in
case something ever goes
wrong with your new
computer and you need to
retrieve those files. Now,
you're all set. Enjoy your
fast new computer!
