Rack (1). Use easy transfer cable. Users can purchase a cable labeled "Windows easy transfer" on the market. The cable can be connected to two computers through a USB interface for point-to-point transmission, which is the most convenient and fast transmission mode, it is also recommended by Microsoft. If you use an easy transfer cable on Windows 2000 or Windows XP, install the accompanying driver.

(2). Use a network connection for direct transmission. If the current two computers are in the same Lan, you can use this method for direct transmission.

Portable (3). Use CD, DVD, or other removable media. If the current two computers cannot be directly connected through a cable or network, or the system is completely installed on one computer, you can use this method to export data to the writable CD/DVD, USB flash memory, or external mobile hard drive, and then import the data.

Here we select "use CD, DVD, or other removable media" for Operation demonstration.

Step 4: Select "CD or DVD" to burn exported files and settings to a CD or DVD. If multiple CDs or DVDs are burned, we recommend that you label each disc for differentiation. You can also create a password for the exported data to ensure that the data is not illegally imported by others, ensuring data security. (Figure 4)

　　

Step 5: select the data export range. Here, you can choose to export the files and settings of all user accounts in the current Windows XP system, or export only the files and settings of the current user. We recommend that you select the first option to export all data. Select "advanced options" to select the type of data to be exported in more detail. (Figure 5)

Step 6: here you can customize the data category to be exported, you can select or cancel the check box before the category and use the "add file", "add folder", "select drive", and "do not include folder" buttons Under the window to perform operations. (Figure 6)

　　

Step 7: click "Next" to start data backup. "Windows easy transfer" saves exported data as a compressed file in MIG format and stores it on a CD. At this point, the export is complete. (Figure 7)

　　Data Import

Step 1: on a Windows Vista computer, insert the previously burned disc and double-click the MIG file in the disc. At this time, the system automatically starts "Windows easy transfer" to import data. If the exported data contains the user account information, 8 is displayed during import. You can select an existing account on Windows Vista in the list, or enter a new account name to create a new account. Click "Next". The configuration information of the user account on the old computer will be imported to the new computer. (Figure 8)

Step 2: review the data and settings to be imported. If any omission is found, you need to export it again. After confirming that the information is correct, click transfer to start transfer. (Figure 9)
