I'm about to buy a new Win 10 gaming rig and wanted to transfer my entire Steam programs + files (most of the games I currently play are *unfortunately* on STEAM) from my old Win 7 rig using an external HDD.
View 1 RepliesI just received a new Win 10 PC with a 500 Gb SSD for my primary drive (OS and programs) and an internal 1Tb conventional HDD for my data (library).
I would like to transfer my programs and files from my existing Win 10 PC to my new PC. My existing PC has two conventional HDDs -- both are 500Mb. The C drive has everything and the E drive is a clone.
Both the new and old PCs are running Win 10 Pro x64.
What programs do you recommend? I do have Macrium Reflect that may do the job. I'll be checking with their excellent support this week.
I downloaded OBS on my pc and set up everything perfectly to stream and used it but I forgot my password to that account so I cannot access those settings. I had another acc on my pc and I want to get the same settings for OBS from that acc, I dont really care about any other files on there it was just random pngs for stream overlay and crap but I need those settings for OBS. How do I do this? I went to the c drive and users and picked the locked acc one but no applications are there???
View 1 RepliesI'm talking about one of the below transfer boxes. I no longer see one when copying files so I have to guess when it is finished. It seems to have started after my last weekly update. I'm running Build 11082 with all the latest updates.

View 14 RepliesII am having trouble moving data to external sources via USB. It always happens partwaY through a transfer. It gives me messages like the transfer could not be completed, that the device is no longer found, or the files aren't available. Most times when I restart it the transfer gets a bit further than it did the time before, but never by much and when moving large amounts of files it makes transferring my media and data impossible.
Sometimes, after the computer is unsuccessful with the transfer the device is no longer recognized by the computer at all. It will call it an unknown device with ? next to it in the device manager. I try to install the drivers automatically but it just tells me I am using the newest drivers but will not register what the device is or allow me to view or transfer files on the device. Usually there is no problem transferring data from a usb connected drive to a different place on the same drive. It happens on both of my systems: An acer aspire one running windows 7, and a compaq presario running windows 10. It happens with all the usb ports (3 on each system). It happens even when I use several other cables to try to connect the device.
I seem to be able to copy files from the drives to the computer, but when writing to the drives it gets stuck. It happens with 2 external hard drives, 2 phones, 4 usb drives, a tablet, and sd cards. What is going on here? I don't think I could have that many bad cables and usb ports. If there is something wrong with write protection, wouldn't it just not transfer anything at all? I have checked for viruses. I can still play songs and look at pictures from the drives so I know the files aren't completely corrupted.
If I attach a HD that has Windows vista 32bit to my computer that have Windows 10 64bit (an SSD). Can I transfer music off that old drive and store it on to a storage HD?

View 1 RepliesEver since I upgraded to Windows 10 it takes HOURS to transfer even small files from my camera's SD card to the computer's hard drive via the built-in card reader.
The "speed" meter barely goes above 300 KBS per second.
It is a SanDisk 32GB extreme card.
I just trashed my old computer and built a new one (moved from Windows 7 to Windows 10). I had quite a few files I wanted to keep, so I stored them all on an external hard drive. I can play the video files in question from the external hard drive, but when I try to copy the files to my internal drive (so that I can store my external safely) the transfer rate quickly drops to zero and then after a few seconds a pop up tells me that the file cannot be found. I know this to not be true since I can still play the files.

View 1 RepliesMy computer worked great for the first 2 or 3 weeks after I installed Windows 10. Then a few days ago it started freezing after about 1 minute once I log in. The computer becomes completely unresponsive, and the only way to shut it off is by holding down the power button. A window pops up about OneDrive not being able to synchronize, then it freezes a few seconds after that. My laptop is an Acer Aspire | M. Intel core i5.

Is it possible to get back the apps by copying the entire folder to my machine? Is there any option to get back the apps? Or should I download and install them once again?
