I have had my computer for 3 years now and its getting old and I got a new PC just waiting for it to come in so I can transfer all my files. I do have an external hard drive and will transfer that stuff over to my new PC. The part where you did properties really helped me and I never knew what I would do without your help. Thanks a lot!

Thank you! I had my old PC die, and the tech put all the files and photo's on a flash drive. I'm going to pick it up today. I was going to get him to put it on my new PC for me, but I think I can do it myself! I'm a female senior but on the computer a lot, so not totally illiterate. Your video was great! Given a thumbs up already! Thanks for making it simple. 😉

Thank you so much. Your video is the best at copying and paste. I really loved how you created folders to transfer to and from. VERY GOOD JOB SIR! 6:04
I forgot to mention another important (to me) thing: this video didn't try to dazzle me with a bunch of geek-speak that I wouldn't understand. Most of us seeking help do so exactly because we lack tech-spertise. and, btw, your method worked perfectly. New machine now working well. Thanks, again.
This is a tried and true method. I moved 400G of stuff from one laptop to another using an 8G stick. Took forever, but got it done haha. If you are moving massive amounts of data an external HD is worth it, plus you have a back-up. External storage is very affordable, and you get great storage space. Remember when we had random stacks of CDs all over our desks? Well now some of us have stacks of external HDs serving pretty much the same purpose as the CD lol.
I put all of my files in a zipped folder and uploaded it to my google drive. Then created a link for the zipped file and sent it from my email address to another email address that I created. Then I opened my email on my new computer and downloaded the files where I wanted them. It is very simple and easy to do. Don't get me wrong! Your way works just fine but doing it with google drive is very fast and easy.
Thank you for the instructions of how to transfer my files from my old computer to my new computer without paying or down loading another software. This is so easy!
Thank you! Just bought a new laptop and want to transfer files. After watching this, I was like, wow that was simple! I guess we just try to complicate things too much! lol.
Just came across your video. Three questions....First, how do you get the picture icon folder on your home screen? Second, how did you categorize your pictures within the picture folder? Third, how do you get the categorized list of pics you have within the picture folder?
Well, that's pretty cool. I also upgraded from Windows 7 to windows 10 pack a while ago when I upgraded but now I'm running windows 11 which works good for me
Thank you that was so helpful I have an old Dell 2002 hahaha still works,, that I'd like to transfer to a new one so you help me out very much thank you enjoyed video...simple and easy👍
Your video is explained in very simple easy to follow terms. It makes what many users find difficult so simple. Great video for dummies like me. Thank you for explaining what I need to do shortly.
Using the word "old" does not necessarily mean "ancient". In the computer world, a computer that is two years "old" is actually considered OLD. Just a little techno-babble there for you to absorb. 🤔
My Mema is getting me a new computer 💻 (WINDOWS) I don’t know 🤷♀️ which number yet, I’m hoping Windows 7. This is great 👍 I’m going to transfer some files from my Dad’s computer 💻 to mine when I get it
OOOMMMGGGGG!! didn't know that! i was transfering my data with my LAN network the whole time, haven't heard of this at all! Thank you soooo much! now i need to learn about floppies.
This is great, I was thinking going to best buy for they to help me to transfer my files.. this is wonderful and easy, so easy that I can do it myself..! Lol..! Thanks for sharing
Program or Software might be different, I'm not sure. Can you do a couple of software . I would like to copy a couple of software onto a brand new computer. ie. Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere. Thanks.
Typically you need to reinstall those type of things onto a new system. There is software that allows for the transfer of things like that but it tends to have issues, so I recommend you do a fresh install of them onto your new system. It will help you have less headaches in the future believe me.
Thank you for commenting. Please be sure to share this video. If you can It really helps out my channel so I can keep creating helpful content for everyone!
Nice video. I'm moving from a Windows XP to a Windows 10 computer. Can I move software (Quickbooks, in this case) in the same way as you move photos & other files? That is to say, is Windows backwards-compatible?
Programs usually always need reinstalled because they also install to the registry. Transferring programs is sometimes more difficult to do unless you have a lot of stuff setup to do it. I usually end up just reinstalling all my programs.
You probably have to reinstall your games if that’s what you’re asking most of the time if you have a game actually installed you’re gonna need to install the game again on the new computer
this is like basic stuff but it helped me anyway, i thought there was a more complicated process but oh well im just gonna use my flash drive and copy paste like i thought earlier

I would hook up another monitor so you can see but if you can’t hook up a different monitor or a different screen then you would have to shut the computer off and remove the hard drive from the computer and you would have to buy an adapter and hook the hard drive up to the new computer so you could copy your files off at that way
Thank you for the comment and yes the process is pretty easy that’s about all you really need to do👍 Hopefully you can hit the like button for me and maybe share it on Facebook with friends or something it is very helpful general video for people that don’t know how to do this
I have no idea if you still respond to comments here, but here’s my situation: I have a folder that’s 900 GB I want to transfer, but only 475 GB of external storage space, is there a way I can make sure I get through all the files in 2 attempts or do if you to guess and check that I don’t do to many files at once?
you can do two attempts, like split it in half, but your external drive needs to be bigger than 900gb so you can fit all the 900gb data on it. I recommend getting a 2TB external drive, then you can just copy the entire 900gb over to it one time.
I have a question about the usb flash drive. If I copy over from my pc to the flash drive a documents folder with say 50 documents in it. If at the end of the month I have 10 new documents, can I just add them to the flash drive documents folder and then the folder will have 60 documents? Basically I want to have a backup but be able to add new things to it as time goes by so that it will always be current. Does a flash drive work like that or do I have to reformat (or whatever it would be called) and then do the whole folder again? As you can tell I am new to this particular technology
no you can do it just like your saying. You can just keep adding stuff and like you said it will go to 60 and so on. If you ever choose to format it again that will cause you to loose everything you put on it. Normally you don't really have to format it unless your trying to delete everything from it and make it new again.
good video,but I use the flash drive to remove all my photo,but they are all mixed up,not in there right folders,when I tried to do it again,its saying,no phopts found,but on my old p.c screen I can still see all my photo folders,so how can I get them off ?
Thank you so much for this video. I’m one of the ones that needs Tech 101...will this work for Windows XP? I am trying to transfer my pictures to my iPhone from my windows pc.
Thanks Jamie Wagner for the video, you just save me a lot of time and aggravation by doing just that. awesome, new subscriber going from 7 to Windows 10.
I noticed you just pulled the thumbdrive out of computer 1 without "safely ejecting". Does this matter? Sometimes when I hit eject it gives me a warning saying it may be in use and continuing to eject may damage the files. Please advise
If i have games on steam i just log into my steam account on the new pc and instal the games right. And i need to move folders if i want right beacausr tbh i got noting that i need at file explorer only some mod folders for games. And question for steam my game saves gonna be the same on the new pc yes?
Thank you very much can you please share this on Facebook with your friends for me that really helps me out to keep creating helpful content for everybody!!👍
@@jamiewagner Yes, Microsoft used to do that for free; unfortunately now they've teamed up with LapLink and you have to pay. And pay separately for each transfer. But it does a great job for people like me who are not so tech savvy.
Thanks Jamie. Some people don't appropriate anything anyone does to help them. Can you transfer your desktop? If so will the apps work? If not can you transfer downloaded apps another way?

Very Nice Video. Will this Also Work for My Very Old Windows ME Computer? I’ve been Keeping it around Until I Figure a way to Get the Files Off. Anyhow, I bought the Memory Sticks Years Ago and Transferred Info but Don’t Think I did it Right. I Also Own a MAC Desktop which I’ve had for a Few years now. Is there anyway of Uploading to the MAC? Hate to have to buy like a Widows Lap Top Just to Get some of these Files. I Also Need to get Them off the Old Computer to take My Room Back. The Old Computer is Just Spread Out On the Room Floor. Thanks for Any Help.
Yes what you’re trying to do you can do that there’s different methods for how to do all that I can’t just say one way or the other I have to do some videos for it
That’s fine differently than this, it’s because it’s actually installed on your system which means it’s installed in the registry and other parts of your computer and it’s not as simple as this video to just copy it over. There are programs you can use to transfer programs like that over to another computer but it’s best just to reinstall it on the new computer.
@@jamiewagner The reason I ask is because I have my book cover that I created in photoshop on my old machine and it is an old photoshop program and I do not want to loose the book cover file in photoshop - what can I do? Also I do not want to buy photoshop again. Thank you for your help.
I have about 1tb of games and documents can I use a external ssd with 256 gb and transfer bit by bit and then when it’s transferred delete it of the ssd then repeat it, would it work and not lose any data, since I have lots of presets in softwares ect would all of that go onto my new pc ? Or would I have to reinstall all of it
Yeah you could do bit by bit but as far as installed programs or installed software you would need to reinstall that stuff, that’s not gonna copy over like pictures would or documents or videos and music would. If something is installed that’s different, usually you need to reinstall software and programs
@@jamiewagner thank you for responding btw! Wouldn’t expect you to respond as this video is old, are you good with computer parts too Cus rn I’m trying to get a 3060 and a 5 3600 and I’m not sure if the 3600 would bottleneck the 3060, I mainly do competitive gaming and editing at 4K I’m not sure if the 3600 would be able to do it. Many thanks for your understanding and fast response !
Yeah I think so you should be able to, you gotta find out where the preset files are located then Once you get Sony Vegas installed on the new computer you can just copy the preset files over to the new preset folder hopefully if it’s set up that way I don’t use Sony Vegas so I don’t know if it saves presets as an actual file
Can you transfer the files onto the new computer, copy them into like a ssd or hardrive, delete the files on the flash drive and repeat? because I have some big files

Programs usually always need reinstalled because they also install to the registry. Transferring programs is sometimes more difficult to do unless you have a lot of stuff setup to do it. I usually end up just reinstalling all my programs.

I noticed you just pulled the thumbdrive out of computer 1 without "safely ejecting". Does this matter? Sometimes when I hit eject it gives me a warning saying it may be in use and continuing to eject may damage the files. Please advise
Yes you are correct you should always safely eject it and don't just pull it out like I did because it can corrupt your data
GREAT VIDEO Thank you. One question. How would I transfer everything saved in my Word. Thanks again!
It depends which word do you use the cloud one or did you install it on the computer
@@jamiewagner It's microsoft office 2003. Pretty sure I installed it years ago.
Then all you need to do is go into your documents or wherever you’re saving your word files and you can select them all copy and paste them over
If i have games on steam i just log into my steam account on the new pc and instal the games right. And i need to move folders if i want right beacausr tbh i got noting that i need at file explorer only some mod folders for games. And question for steam my game saves gonna be the same on the new pc yes?
I think so
Thank you, you made this very simple and easy for me to transfer all my files to my new computer.:)
Thank you very much can you please share this on Facebook with your friends for me that really helps me out to keep creating helpful content for everybody!!👍
Would be nice to address applications that reside on the old PC and how to transfer them.
You can do that but you have to use a program to do it it also gets the registry
@@jamiewagner Yes, Microsoft used to do that for free; unfortunately now they've teamed up with LapLink and you have to pay. And pay separately for each transfer. But it does a great job for people like me who are not so tech savvy.
Yeah I seen now you have to pay
This doesn't cover the files that are saved under different program folders. I wanted a complete transfer of files
I have a question can you transfer games and other apps too? like the whole file of the game and the .exe
Sometimes but usually you have reinstall the games
@@jamiewagner alright thx
Thanks Jamie. Some people don't appropriate anything anyone does to help them. Can you transfer your desktop? If so will the apps work? If not can you transfer downloaded apps another way?
I think you would have to re download them
Thank you so much Jamie !!

yes
Very Nice Video. Will this Also Work for My Very Old Windows ME Computer? I’ve been Keeping it around Until I Figure a way to Get the Files Off. Anyhow, I bought the Memory Sticks Years Ago and Transferred Info but Don’t Think I did it Right. I Also Own a MAC Desktop which I’ve had for a Few years now. Is there anyway of Uploading to the MAC? Hate to have to buy like a Widows Lap Top Just to Get some of these Files. I Also Need to get Them off the Old Computer to take My Room Back. The Old Computer is Just Spread Out On the Room Floor. Thanks for Any Help.
Yes what you’re trying to do you can do that there’s different methods for how to do all that I can’t just say one way or the other I have to do some videos for it
Jamie Wagner Thanks Friend.
Easy to do instructions . Thanks

What about transferring software such as photoshop etc.? how is that done?
That’s fine differently than this, it’s because it’s actually installed on your system which means it’s installed in the registry and other parts of your computer and it’s not as simple as this video to just copy it over. There are programs you can use to transfer programs like that over to another computer but it’s best just to reinstall it on the new computer.
@@jamiewagner The reason I ask is because I have my book cover that I created in photoshop on my old machine and it is an old photoshop program and I do not want to loose the book cover file in photoshop - what can I do? Also I do not want to buy photoshop again.
Thank you for your help.
I have about 1tb of games and documents can I use a external ssd with 256 gb and transfer bit by bit and then when it’s transferred delete it of the ssd then repeat it, would it work and not lose any data, since I have lots of presets in softwares ect would all of that go onto my new pc ? Or would I have to reinstall all of it
Yeah you could do bit by bit but as far as installed programs or installed software you would need to reinstall that stuff, that’s not gonna copy over like pictures would or documents or videos and music would. If something is installed that’s different, usually you need to reinstall software and programs
@@jamiewagner I have a bunch of presets for Sony Vegas , could I transfer them ?
@@jamiewagner thank you for responding btw! Wouldn’t expect you to respond as this video is old, are you good with computer parts too Cus rn I’m trying to get a 3060 and a 5 3600 and I’m not sure if the 3600 would bottleneck the 3060, I mainly do competitive gaming and editing at 4K I’m not sure if the 3600 would be able to do it. Many thanks for your understanding and fast response !
Yeah I think so you should be able to, you gotta find out where the preset files are located then Once you get Sony Vegas installed on the new computer you can just copy the preset files over to the new preset folder hopefully if it’s set up that way I don’t use Sony Vegas so I don’t know if it saves presets as an actual file
Yeah you’re welcome I’m definitely not an expert gamer so I don’t have great advice on hi and gaming my video card is only a 2080 TI
thanks brother!
You’re welcome hit the like button and share my video thanks and have a merry Christmas
Can you transfer the files onto the new computer, copy them into like a ssd or hardrive, delete the files on the flash drive and repeat? because I have some big files
yes
ever thought about using Pcmover which is free - it moves your files and profiles to a new pc?
Thanks for sharing! I have not tried it yet. Does it work well???
It work great, but the laplink stopped the free offer.
What about copying your browser and saved web sites????
you have to save that stuff first then you can do it
Could you do the same if you had a dual usb cable? male usb to male usb old2new?
Very informative.
Thanks, hopefully it was a little helpful for you. Thanks for commenting
So this would work for transferring saved game data?
it depends yes and no, if the games are installed then no you will need to reinstall them on your new machine.
