Tech Ping: Bought the Computer, Trying to Do Wireless File Transfer HELP!!

Is there any help out there for Win7 among the Freepers? Wanted to file transfer from the old WIN 7 machine to the new WIN7 machine and the new computer wont recognize the old computer and vice versa. Both computers I think have the same name, could that be a problem.

The old computer has a home group and the new computer keeps trying to make its own home group, the hussy!

The last legs are rapidly approaching for old computer

Last conversation was this: Question about Laptop Purchase Win8.1 with 1TB SATA vs Beloved Win7 No SATA??

Great - worked on government networks for a long time and the 3 things that will stop communication dead are same name/IP/MAC address. Else, computers are really gregarious and want to talk with each other.

I think what happened is the computer named itself using names I provided, and of course I provided the same name years apart.

LOL I remember that thread.

“I didn’t see any options, fortunately, all the files are on both machines.”

Thanks for letting us know. It has been a while since I used the windows easy transfer (usually I use Acronis) so you’ve confirmed that it is actually copied your data files and didn’t just move them as stated in the windows FAQ.

“How do you transfer every bit of data on an old drive to something like this 1TB drive ro replace the old drive in your desktop??”

I use Acronis http://www.acronis.com/en-us/ for disk image backups (cloning), but there are other similar products. Some free and some not.
