Thank you so much for the info! And especially for the cautions regarding overwiting with the new data and synching before continuing. I can imagine what a mess that would be. Always good to learn from other's mistakes... Thanks for taking the time to go above and beyond in helping me - and others - out on this!

No problem, I just use windows explorer to copy the .QBW (quick books company file) file from my desktop into the equivalent folder on the laptop overwriting the old files and voila they are synched. But be very careful to really overwrite older with newer data and not vice versa or forget to synch before you continue entering data (as it has happened to me) otherwise it is a mess. Good luck.

I was able to transfer all the files I chose, including past TurboTax Files. My new computer included newer Office package, so did not transfer that. This is a GREAT, EASY way to transfer to a new laptop/desktop all of your old 'stuff'. Was very easy for this (me) non-computer guy to use. I used it for both my files and my wife's files from one desktop to two different laptops. Hope this helps, Wayne M.

Yes it can, but it depends on what data you are talking about moving, i.e. word,excel files, music, videos etc, yes. But If it's OS related, then the answer is no. Remember this cable is designed to transfer mixed file types, through the use of (Easy Transfer) app. that's built into the OSfrom one PC to another PC. If you transfer the OS types, then the only way to do this is to do a clean install, from one OS to another. And of this you need the OS discs or ISO file for the reinstall.

You can transfer any document or photo from your old computer, just attaching a portable DVD writer to you new computer. Another way is using icloud.

I don't have experience with your exact situation but today's method to transfer files among different devices is to use "cloud" services. With them, it is possible to transfer files of any format among different makes of devices. I use MS OneDrive to transfer files between a Dell Desktop, Samsung S III phone, and Apple iPad tablet without any mechanical connections. And OneDrive is free.

I don't know what the solution is. I transferred files from a Vista computer to a Windows 8 computer. I had to repeat the transfer several times, but it did transfer files.

you should be able to use it on another computer. especially if you have used it as a backup drive or just downloaded random files you should always be able to load it onto a different computer.

Files can be transferred by simply copying and burning to a cd and simply move to the new computer. Microsoft also offers a programs and settings wizard for upgrading operating systems but its not designed to transfer data from and old to a new computer. I would highly suggest just saving your important files to a cd or DVD and copy them to your new computer. As far as Microsoft Word or programs you will need to use the software installer you purchased to install on the new computer.

It was easy for me. What I did was save all of my files and data on my old laptop to a flash ("thumb") drive and then when I inserted it into the Gateway, it was easy to transfer onto the new laptop. Programs may need to be re-downloaded on to the new laptop though, depending on how your old laptop saved them.

Yes you can. I have it loaded on both my wife's and my desktop and also on our laptop. You just have to backup your database on the main computer then transfer it to the other ones.

Mighty close--it works well but the cables are short. You will also need to download the latest version of the software. I have had no problems at all--just can't find the time to transfer my many records. Hope this helps.

No, as far as I know you have to use the app to move anything into the drive using it as a stand alone drive. I originally wanted to use it on locations and such but data transfer is slow and the interface is horrendous. I'm sticking to my laptop and cabled drives for the time being.

If you want to transfer files between the computers, this will not work. The computers must be networked, either through a router or with a 'crossover' cable, and networking software. A search for 'transfer files between computers' will give you the details.

Not sure what you are asking. Once the two PCs are connected it is like copying from one folder to another. You can copy as much and for as long as you want. You can change to different folders on each PC for additional copying.

Yes you can.The fact of the matter is when you take a new drive and clone it with another content, it automatically wipe the drive for you. I move a drive to another system and clone it using the other system's content, the original data on the drive is gone.

I added at 64GB micro SD card and although I Have Quckbooks 13 running at our home office and have installed Acrobat X PRO on the tablet, I hadn't thought of installing quickbooks there because my wife's primary user and doesn't need QB access in her Real Estate work. I have installed some photo management software on the tablet and all seems to work great and quickly. Sorry I can't speak directly to it's use with QB.

You need to plug them both in to your computer. Then use either explorer or finder to transfer the data. I recommend you copy the files and then paste them to the other hard drive. once they have been copied delete the originals.
