H hcour New member Member Local time 4:20 PM Messages 88 Apr 30, 2013 #1 I need to transfer about 100 gb of data from my desktop (Win 7) to my notebook (Win 8). They connect via wifi but that would take forever. Is there a faster way to do this? Can I connect them via USB somehow? My Computer OSWindows 7
