Transfering Files and Settings
Hope I have posted in the right place!
I have a Desktop running Win 7 Home premium and have recently installed Win 7 Professional on my laptop. I want to transfer the desktop and other settings (MS Office) and files from the desktop to the laptop.
The desktop has 2 drives, one with Windows and program files and the other with User Data.
My laptop has one drive partitioned with a similar setup, Windows and Programs on the C: partition and User Data on the D: partition.
When I try to transfer I get the message the transfer cannot take place because there is not enough room and to delete some files to make room. The problem seems to be that the transfer wizzard is trying to transfer everything from the Desktop to the C: drive of the laptop, rather than C: to C: and D: to D:. Is there a way around this ? I have tried to map the drives but it won’t let me do that!
Secondly, if I only try to transfer fewer files, I am told the Desktop is not connected to the domain, but I have not set up a domain and when I try on the desktop, the option is greyed out. Any suggestions for this?
Thanks in advance.
