In general, many users need to save their data to update or perform a clean installation of Windows. But it is increasingly common among users the need to pass their data between two PCs, on the one hand the old PC and on the other hand the new PC.
For those who have transfer data between two computers, we show you four methods that anyone can perform to transfer or pass their data from one computer to another, in general, the last of these contains Windows 10 (if not, you still have a serious quality and warranty problem).
Using OneDrive
If we have little data and you are not in a hurry to do so, the most effective way is to use a virtual hard disk, in this case OneDrive. OneDrive allows us to store up to 5 Gb of data. Una vez que cargamos los datos de la ordenador anterior, vamos a la nueva ordenador, abrimos OneDrive y descargamos el contents. Es una alternativa fácil, pero debemos recordar que es lenta y dependerá del ancho de banda y de la conexión a Internet que tengamos.
Using an external hard drive
The fastest and somewhat more expensive method is to use an external hard drive. Usually connect the hard drive to the old computer and all data is passed as if it were a pendrive. Something simple for all users. Later we connect it to the new computer and copy the content to the new computer. This method is faster than the previous one, but we must pay attention that an external hard drive has a high price, which we will have to spend if we intend to use it.
Using a cable to transfer data
exists usb cables that we can buy at a reasonable price. These cables can be connected to both PCs and pass the data from one to the other as if it were a pendrive. The operation is fast but the cable is quite expensive. Something to pay attention to when selecting this option.
Use of networking software
If we have the two computers In a single network, we can pass the old data and files over the network. This method is simple and does not have a high cost, come on, It is free if we have the network configured. Ahora bien, este método necesita hacer otra configuración una vez que hayamos concluido debido a que la computadora vieja tendrá que ser borrada de la Red. Hay mucho software para hacer esto, pero se recomienda opt for Windows 10 software and settings that while being cost-free, it is safer than other types of proprietary software.
conclusion
Personally, I always choose the hard drive option since I do a clean install once or twice a month and then the purchase of the hard drive is inexpensive. But if we consider the price, networking or using OneDrive can be the most effective way for most cases. Either way, any method is good for passing our data.
