Windows Easy Transfer - Merging 2 Computers into 1

I'm using WET for my XP-to-7 upgrades. In one case, there are 2 computers in an office and we are phasing one of the computers out, thus removing 2 Win XP computers and replacing with only one Win 7 computer.
Can I run WET on both XP computers as the "old" computer and then run WET on the new Win 7 twice, one for each of the MIG files created from each old computer? Will this result in all the files from each computer being transferred successfully
and if so, how are duplicate files handled?

You can follow instructions in the following link and do what you want to transfer files for your xp-to-7 upgrades

  • Windows easy transfer put my files into the d drive, it's now full!

    I have a new HP desktop w/ Windows 7. I transferred my stuff from my old computer with Windows Easy Transfer using 3 dvds (12 gig). I then, using Easy Transfer, downloaded the 3 discs. Partway through the 3rd disc, I get a message saying disc is full! The graph showing my D drive is glowing red. I wonder, why is this stuff going there??  So I eject the 3rd disc, and check my computer, it appears every thing off my old computer is there. So far, so good. Now I get a message all the time saying D drive is full. The graphic shows this as a recovery disc, and it was not full before I did the Windows Easy Transfer. Why would my data go there, and can I get it out of there??

    Hello EMERALDMAN,
    This HP troubleshooting article addresses the issue you are seeing and shows how to go into the D drive and move the non-recovery files out of the drive.

  • Windows Easy Transfer (WET) Issues with External Hard Drive - "Can't read from the source file or disk"

    I work for Office Depot, in the tech department. Basically, one of our associates was supposed to do a data backup, and re-install Windows 7, then transfer the files back. He used Windows Easy Transfer and compacted everything into a 163 GB file. 
    Now comes the hard part. When we try to put it back on his computer ((drag-and-drop to the desktop) which has been wiped back to factory settings using the recovery partition), it stops at 79.5 GB remaining (you know how it doesn't give you a % of completion,
    it just shows how many GB are remaining) and then says "Can't read from the source file or disk" and gives you an option to try again, or cancel. It gets hung up on the same point each time.
    Normally, this wouldn't be a huge issue, but the contents on the drive are his wife's architect blueprints and interior design stuff, along with wedding photos, etc, which are the only copies they have. On top of those, they have court documents and other
    important files that we are unable to access now.
    I wasn't involved with this transfer, so I'm trying to clean up the mess as best I can. I remembered that the customer's wife was Russian, and had some files typed with a Russian keyboard, so on and so forth. I wonder if that's the issue? If not, I really
    have no idea how to manually extract things from a ".mig" file, or how to diagnose what area is potentially corrupted.
    In light of this situation, we tried using "Recuva" to recover the files post-wipe, but everything was corrupted or unable to be opened, and it also extracted and recovered all of the "useless" photos, such as the skype logos, up and
    down arrows for browsers, etc (it was 160,000+ photos).
    Trying to avoid a potential lawsuit, unhappy customer, and costing the company lots of money to see if professionals can get into this external hard drive.
    Other relevant information:
    We used a Toshiba 500 GB (465 GB) external hard drive.
    Customer's computer is an HP Pavilion P6000 Series (Model No. p6520y) running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1.
    Any other information that is needed can be provided, thanks in advance, and hopefully we can find a solution to this issue quickly!

    I think there's a lack of understanding somewhere.
    "If you even can't start the process, please unplug it from your new PC. Then head back to your new computer and plug
    the external drive back in to your new computer. "
    Unplug from new, head back to new, plug it back in? That doesn't make much sense! Haha.
    I knew what you meant though, somewhat. When I search through the drives after clicking yes (Has windows easy transfer
    already saved your files blah blah blah) I click on the transfer file and it says "Windows Easy Transfer could not open the file".
    Rather than drag-and-drop the file to the desktop, I now tried to double-click on the file itself while it was plugged
    into the computer. It opened, and it started transferring until it was about 70% completed, and then an error popped up saying "WET can't open the easy transfer file, make sure your USB device is plugged in or check your internet connection". 
    I checked, and the USB hard drive's light wasn't on. Now, I unplug it and plug it back in, and the light comes back on,
    so I click Retry, and it resets the bar back to nothing and says "Transfer time: 1 minute".
    Rather than continue trying, I clicked "Cancel" instead of Retry, and it says "Your transfer did not complete successfully."
    It says to click "view report" for more information, but there's no "view report button".
    At the moment, I am scanning the External Drive for bad sectors using the check disk tool in properties. It's frozen
    at "0 USN bytes processed".

  • Windows Easy Transfer 8.1

    I am having a tough time understanding why Windows Easy Transfer was deprecated in 8.1. We were just looking at upgrading our campus to 8.1. With this discovery, that upgrade is now out the window. We will stay on Win 7 as long as we can (yes even after
    EOL), unless Windows 10 has a usable transfer program. In our environment we use WET daily. What Microsoft failed to realize it was EASY and works really well. This program saves us tons of time, moving users from a old machine to new machine. What
    Microsoft fails to realize is that simple program changes like this that make people stay on XP/WIN7 vs. upgrading. So my question does Win10 have a program similar to WET?

    Hi,
    Since Windows 8.1, because SkyDrive come into popular with sync User Profile settings and document, there is no need to use WET any more. That's why it is deprecated in Windows 8.1.

  • Windows Easy transfer , ERROR message when trying to copy settings to Win 8 PC

    I have a new hp-TouchSmart Envy 23. It has 2TB drive.
    I want to use Windows Easy Transfer to move all my settings and data from the Windows 7 machine to the new hp-TouchSmart (my older PC is hp desktop is model # m9177c and has Win 7 OS)  .
    I have used easy transfer many times and I am reasonably experienced user .
    I just cannot transfer my settings and data to my new PC. I have therefore copies all my data to the hp-TouchSmart . However I need to use Windows easy transfer to move all my settings. I have a very large number of settings , macros and much else that would take a very large amount of time to re-type.
    I get an ERROR message when I want to transfer my settings. It says I don’t have enough disk space. The file I want to transfer is only 10.5 GB (after I removed all my data). The new machine has 2TB and yet I keep getting this error.
    I have tried every possible way of transferring the settings , including : external drive; flash drive; direct wire ; easy transfer cable etc. I keep getting the same ERR message .
    I am sure Easy transfer must allow transfer from Win 7 to Win 8. BUT HOW? 
    PLEASE do help. I would really appreciate very much .
    THANK YOU
    Adam 

    This thread may be useful. 
    Windows Easy Transfer will transfer from one drive to the other to mirror the original drive.  What I suspect is happening is that the program is grabbing the D drive (recovery partition on most systems) and trying to transfer it to the new system which should also have a D drive.  If that is happening,t hen that error will be thrown.
    Try using the advanced options and view the report to see what exactly is happening and triggering the message.
    Let me know what happens. 
    The document in the thread is for a previous version of Windows, but you can search for Easy Transfer Reports from the Start screen in Windows 8.

  • I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

    I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library. 
    I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over.  Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over?  I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another.  Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from Windows Vista or Windows XP

    I'm running a English Windows Vista Ultimate and just bought a
    ENGLISH Windows 8.1. I've downloaded the WET for Windows vista and tried to complete the second portion of the transfer by specifying the saved .MIG file WET created. Then I got the error message: "Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer
    files from Windows Vista or Windows XP".
    The truth is, Microsoft was too busy integrating special effects to it's operating system and claimed it as fully polished instead of making sure built-in tools were worth using.
    Another harsh reality is that THERE IS NO WAY TO TRANSFER a file from Windows Vista to Windows 8. That's because engineers didn't even bother to make that possibility happen. Just Google: "Transfer from windows vista to windows 8" and you'll see
    there are no relevant Microsoft web page about this.
    Worse, Microsoft is giving excuses. To solve this issues, they came with a toolbox of fake scenarios in order to confuse clients even further, while they know damn well the Windows Easy Transfer is NOT EASY and certainly in multiple cases
    DOES NOT TRANSFER jack to begin with.

    I somewhat agree with you.
    Trying to transfer from 7 to 8.1 and although it looks like the "7" side of the equation is working, the "8" side isn't.
    "7" is trying to connect to "8" but "8.1" is being just plain stupid.
    Not even sure why the MIG file step is even necessary if all I want to do is transfer one file between two machines.  Said file is really BIG, or i'd just use my network, and the "8.1" rig doesn't have a dvd reader...
    Per the MIG step... my file again, is big... I'd need to "mig" this file just to send it? Can't even get to the step where I'd mig-it and if i did, how long would that take?
    So this is what progress is all about... geez... gimmie a NULL MODEM CABLE !!!

  • "Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer your files and settings." Why?

    I saved my files and settings from a previous installation of windows 7 to an external hard drive using windows easy transfer. Now when I try to transfer those files and setting to my new installation I get the following message:
    Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer your files and settings.
    The message pops up only a few seconds after the transfer begins.
    Why is this?! I need those files and windows has screwed me. Everything is basically the same as before I reinstalled. Same computer, same windows 7 installation just recovered to factory settings. Same system language as before. BTW I'm on a Toshiba L505 laptop
    running Windows 7 Home Premium.
    I have tried all the usual suspects such as a clean boot and uninstalling my antivirus to rule out third party interference. I have more than enough space on both my computer and on the external hard drive. I have tried only transferring a user account a
    few MBs large. I have reinstalled the OS twice just in case something went wrong there. I have clicked on the .MIG file directly. All lead to the same error message.The transfer file seems to be intact and not currupt
    Is there another software other than WET that can use the same transfer file that WET created to restore my files? Please help me solve this if you can or at least point me in the right direction because right now I'm clueless. I can't emphasize how important
    those files are to me. I've searched for solutions on several forums and it seems that this is a problem people have been having for years now and windows hasn't provided an answer yet.
    An interesting note, When I reboot the laptop after trying to do the transfer, a new user account appears at startup alongside the one I normally use. This new user account has the same unique name of the user account I am trying to restore but that's where
    the similarity ends. All the settings for this account are default settings and empty folders. What does this mean?

    Hi Vincent, like I said I tried all of that already and it failed. Thanks a lot for trying to help though. Imperfect1, so sorry I took so long to reply. No that's not the case. I was trying to restore from x86 to x86.
    Well, I finally gave up. I've scoured the internet for a solution. You'll probably find duplicates of this post all over. This has been a known software problem with Windows Easy Transfer for years and Microsoft has done nothing to fix it or warn users of
    the risks. Shameful!
    Anyway, I managed to recover my files with this life saver of a program here>

    MigRecover Utility for Microsoft's Windows Easy Transfer.
    I can't express how grateful I am to the developer and the host for the download. You guys are the most awesomest people ever. Cheers.
    Here's how you modify the syntax in commmand prompt if you used a password to protect the mig file in WET>
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproinstall/thread/68910c1a-3c4b-47af-bb22-0e7ec6f2054f/
    Just remember to change the source drive letter in "C:\SaveData.MIG" to the actual drive it's stored on if your MIG file is on an external drive like mine was; whether it's E:, F:, G: or whatever.
    Good luck to anyone with the same issue who stumbles upon this post. I hope it helps you as it did me.

  • ITunes manually added artwork is missing after Windows Easy Transfer from XP to Windows-7. Please help!

    After a Windows Easy Transfer from a Windows XP pc to a new Windows-7 pc, all the iTunes artwork that I had previously manually added is now missing. I estimate 25-30% of my CDs needed manual intervention to add artwork. Some of these were album covers I found on the web but many are photos that I took and cropped but have not retained. I have nearly 20,000 songs. Every one had artwork on my XP machine. Now on Windows-7 it appears to be missing. I spent many patient hours to get artwork in place for all my music and don't want to loose it or have to repeat the process. Please help! Many thanks for any contributions.

  • Firefox 3.6.6 Not Displaying Gmail Contacts & Calendar and at least 1 other website correctly after using Microsoft Windows Easy Transfer

    == Issue
    ==
    I have another kind of problem with Firefox
    == Description
    ==
    In migrating from an XP PC to a new Win 7 PC, I downloaded Firefox to the new PC and it worked fine - got my Gmail contacts, calendar, etc. Later I used Micros Soft's Windows Easy Transfer to move data, profiles, etc to the new PC. Then could log onto Gmail but it would not show Contacts or Calendar. I then uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it - nohelp, then I did a system to Restore to before I did the Windows Easy Transfer - no help, then I manually moved my Firefox Profile from the XP machine - no help. BTW at least one other website does not display correctly: http://www.hollandamerica.com/main/Main.action. NOTE - through all this Internet Explorer has shown these sites correctly.

  • Can't send emails after migration from Vista PC to W7 PC. Tried Mozbackup and Windows Easy Transfer. Settings have transferred ok, it just won't send emails.

    I recently migrated my Tbird from a Vista PC to a W7 PC using Mozbackup. Transfer was fine with all the settings transferred apparently correctly. But now I can receive emails but not send them. Sent emails show in 'Sent Items' but are not received the other end. Also tried the migration using the Beta 1 version of Mozbackup and also Windows Easy Transfer with the same result. IMAP and POP3 accounts are both affected. Neither can send emails. I get no error messages nor any bounceback.
    Found on one forum that AVG can block outgoing emails so altered the AVG settings which seemed to solve the problem. The next morning the problem was back. I uninstalled AVG completely but it made no difference. I do have MicroSoft Sec Essentials but the problem was there before that was installed.
    Using the BT Home Hub 5 on BT Infinity broadband. It can't be the router though as the old PC was sending emails fine. Although I did have the suspect AVG settings, removing it has not solved the problem.
    The outgoing email settings seem to be fine. Any thoughts?

  • Windows Easy Transfer, not enough disk space

    I am trying to transfer my files and settings from old WinXP to new Win7 PC, using Windows 7 Easy Transfer. I am using the network transfer option on my home network. The wizard is pretty straightforward and all went well until I clicked Transfer. I got
    an error message that said not enough disk space. (It did not say which PC.) The transfer size is 32 GB, but I have 550 GB available on Win7. The XP PC has only 10 GB free, but why should that matter?
    And yes, the Win7 PC is marked as the "new" computer.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi,
    May I know how many drives you transferred?
    Windows Easy Transfer maps the old computer drives to the new computer drives while transferring data. In other words, information on each drive on your old computer
    will be transferred to the respective drives on your new computer. Therefore, if the size on the other partition doesn't have enough disk space then we come across the error: "Not enough hard drive space available"
    I recommend the following two suggestions.
    1. Click on Advanced when transferring files from the old computer and select the only files and settings that you want to transfer, if other partitions are selected
    make sure to uncheck them if it’s not required for you to transfer.
    2. Try to transfer one partition data at a time and check.
    Once the transfer process is successful or failure, you can anytime view Windows Easy Transfer Reports to know the details about the transfer.

     Everything proceeds smoothly until the connection step when process gets stuck.  I do not know how to go about to address issue. 
    Any tip will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Which method do you use to transfer items to Windows 8, via network or via USB drive?
