Easy Transfer

[Zygy]

I want to transfer all my files ect onto a standby computer, to have a
fallback onto the information contained in them. I was under the impression
that the necessary software for the transfer and Synchronization was in
Vista Windows, but having connected the computers with a transfer cable
(which was installed as new hardware on both computers) nothing further
happened although I was supposed to get instructions on the Standby computer
how to proceed with the transfers.

What is the solution to this problem?

Open Windows Easy Transfer by clicking the Start button , clicking All
Programs, clicking Accessories, clicking System Tools, and then clicking
Windows Easy Transfer.? If you are prompted for an administrator
password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Thank you for the reply. The steps you stated were the ones I followed to
find Windows Easy Transfer in the first place, but I am not certain (being a
self taught user) how to proceed after the installation of the cable and on
which computer I should start the process of transferring the data, which I
read somewhere is critical to the successful transfer. Have you done it
yourself?
