Hello,
I would like to migrate files (manily word processing documents and
pictures) from my desktop to my laptop. Both feature Windows XP operating
systems. I don't want to email the files; furthermore, my laptop doesn't
have a floppy disk drive. ( Incidentally, I don't plan on buying one anytime
soon; furthermore, I assume it shouldn't work for pictures either).
Therefore, I presume using the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard should be
the best way to go. What concerns me, however, is collecting my files from
the source computer, the desktop, so that they should be ready when I
instruct the target computer, the laptop, to transfer them. Is there a way
to use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard on the source computer to
ready them so? If not, would you know of any other way whereby I might do
some such thing?
My understanding is that, assuming I should be able to transfer files in the
way described above, I shall need either a null modem serial cable or a
serial PC to PC file transfer cable. Should both of these cables work
equally well? If not, which one do you recommend?
In close, I would truly appreciate any information you could give me
regarding the subject of transferring files.
Regards,
John
