How to transfer everything from one Windows computer to another
I recently got a new Asus VivoBook and I thought everything would switch over from my old one but nothing has. I am signed in under the same account, they are both Windows 11, and I have selected all of the “remember my preferences” settings on both computers but still nothing is switching over. What do I do?
Hi Sam , thanks for reaching out.
1. To easily transfer files and settings between Windows computers, consider utilizing Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud storage service.
– On the old computer, sign in to OneDrive with your Microsoft account.
– Upload the desired files to OneDrive.
– On the new computer, sign in to OneDrive with the same Microsoft account.
– Download the files from OneDrive to your new computer.
2. Alternatively, you can utilize ASUS Switch for a local network transfer:
– Install ASUS Switch on both computers.
– Connect both computers to the same local network.
– Open ASUS Switch on both computers.
– On the old computer, choose “Transfer data from current device”; on the new – computer, select “Migrate data to the current device.”
– Input the pairing code from the old computer into the new computer.
– Select the files and applications to transfer, then click “Start Transfer.”
If you choose to transfer files using an external storage device, you can refer to the steps outlined in the article below:
