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:

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.

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

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
