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.

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

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
