WINDOW EASY TRANSFER FOR WINDOWS 7, VISTA, AND XP

Windows Easy Transfer (WET) is a program that allows you to transfer your files and program settings from

your old Windows PC to your new Windows PC. You can automatically copy your files, photos, music,

emails, settings, and other files to a new Windows operating system. You can find more information on this

program at Microsoft’s website:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/buyorupgrade/easytransfer.mspx

PCLINQ3 FOR WINDOWS 7, VISTA, XP, 2000

PCLinq3 is a file manager program that allows you to see and control file directories on both PCs at the

same time. You can drag and drop or cut and paste files and folders between PCs. You can also create

new folders and change file attributes. PCLinq3 is designed to be used in addition to the Windows Easy

Transfer program for Windows 7, Vista, and XP, and will also work separately from Windows Easy Transfer

on Windows 2000 operating system using integrated device drivers.

Note: for any combination of Vista and Windows 7 transfers, or XP to Vista/Windows 7, it is not necessary

to install the PCLinq3 software. All other install types need to have both WET and PCLinq3 installed.

ABOUT THE SOFTWARE PROGRAMS

INDOWS EASY TRANSFER INSTALLATION

You must install the USB 2.0 Windows Easy Transfer (WET) program first on your PC/s (installation of

WET is not required for Vista or Windows 7 as it is built into the operating system) before you plug

the cable in your PC. The Windows Easy Transfer program also includes the USB 2.0 Windows Easy

Transfer Cable device drivers needed for the PCLinq3 software to detect the USB cable. Please follow the

steps below to proceed. These screen shots may vary slightly depending on what operating system you

are installing the software on. If you are transferring files from Windows 2000/XP/Vista to Windows 7, you

will need to install and use the updated Windows Easy Transfer program on your 2000, XP or Vista

operating system.

Step 1

Insert the provided CD into your CD-ROM drive. An auto-run

screen will automatically pop up. On the landing page, select

Install Windows Easy Transfer, and a wizard will guide you to

Step 8

Now, you can plug the one end of the adapter to the USB port on

your transmitting computer. Wait for 10~20 seconds for the

system to recognize the cable. If the cable is not recognized,

unplug the cable and plug it back in your USB port. It should

now be recognized. You can go to your Device Manager screen

and you should see the USB Easy Transfer Cable in your device

list.

Repeat this step for your receiving computer.

Upon the USB transfer cable being recognized, the Easy

Transfer Cable dialog box will appear.

DEVICE/SOFTWARE INSTALLATION-PCLINQ3

If your installation was successful, then you are now ready to use the USB 2.0 Easy Transfer Cable for

Windows. The following steps will describe how to use the Windows Easy Transfer (WET) program.

Please note that the following instructions are only for Windows XP or Vista to Windows Vista. Other

transferring types (Windows 7 transfer) will be described in later sections of this User Guide.

Step 1

Plug in the USB 2.0 Easy Transfer Cable, if you have not done so,

into the USB port of both PCs. The Easy Transfer auto play window

will pop out for you to run instantly. Click “Transfer files and

settings using Windows Easy Transfer”. The program window

for Windows Vista will look slightly different.

Step 2

The WET program window will appear and guide you in

transferring your files between your PCs. Click “Next” to

continue. Do this for both computers.

Step 3

If there are any programs that are running, WET will require

you to shut down those programs first before succeeding to

transfer files. Click “Close All” to continue. Do this for both

PCs.

USING THE WINDOWS EASY TRANSFER PROGRAM

Step 4

WET will then try to detect a connection to the receiving PC.

If a connection is not recognized, try to unplug and re-plug the

cable on the transmitting PC.

USING THE WINDOWS EASY TRANSFER PROGRAM

Step 5

After a connection has been detected, WET that is running on

your transmitting PC will ask you to choose from three options

All user accounts, files, and settings; My user account,

files, and settings only; Advanced options (this allows you

to customize your selections on what to transfer). If you are

running two Vista PCs, you will first need to choose which

computer is the old computer and which is the new computer.

USING THE WINDOWS EASY TRANSFER PROGRAM

Step 6

To transfer files other than the shared folders or the

Documents folder from your old PC to your new PC, click

Files in other locations, and then select each location that

you want to transfer. Once you have finished selecting what

to transfer, click the “Transfer” button.

Step 7

WET will then ask what user account to use on the new PC

where the transfer will be made. You can choose to transfer

to the existing account on your new PC or create a new

account. Click “Next” to continue.

USING THE WINDOWS EASY TRANSFER PROGRAM

Step 8

WET will then start the transfer to your new PC. Please wait

until the transfer is complete.

Step 9

Once your old PC finishes transferring the files and settings to

your new PC, you need to check your new PC and see if the

transfer is completed.

USING THE WINDOWS EASY TRANSFER PROGRAM

Step 10

Once all the files and settings have transferred to your new

PC, WET will prompt you that the transfer is complete. You

can now view the files and settings you choose to transfer.

Click on the “Close” button to exit.

USING THE WINDOWS EASY TRANSFER PROGRAM

If you are transferring files to Windows 7 using the WET program, you first need to copy the update

program from Windows 7 to an external hard drive or network drive, and run the program on the old PC

with Windows XP or Vista.

Step 1

Plug the USB 2.0 Easy Transfer Cable for Windows into the

USB port of the Windows 7 PC and run the Windows Easy

Transfer program. Click “Next” to continue.
