How can I transfer files from the pc to a new laptop?
Of course it works via USB stick, or HD. Likewise by cloud.
But that is, depending on the amount of data, relatively cumbersome.
If both devices are in a network, that is, connected via the same router, then just generate a few network shares.
Then you can access via Lan directly to the other device. And with a 1000Mbit network, the transfer rate is quite high.
You can create a home network on Windows then you can share files. Or release the whole hard drive and use the laptop to copy the files.
It does not matter how fast your Internet is because everything happens in the Local Router and it can exploit its maximum bandwidth.
As fast as possible:
Install Pc-SSD in the laptop!
If SSD has 500GB and the screw takes 1 minute, data has been transferred at a transfer rate of 8,333.33MB / s!
Or as already mentioned by others: via LAN
Otherwise only USB transfer remains! (Also already mentioned and that you should already know - too lazy? Too slow? Too awkward?)
Which is normally 300Mbit or about 1Gbit for the very funny… Aka max 125Mb / s (theoretically under BEST laboratory conditions)
But to set up a home network is quite cumbersome for a layman who asks #iksde
He said nothing about a Wi-Fi connection and a normal LAN cable transmits 1Gbit / s. In addition, every 0815 router now has a 5GHZ W-Lan which is no longer so lame then.
A normal LAN cable transmits 1Gbit / s
Yes
1Gbit for the very funny
1 GIGABIT PER SECOND = HAZARD 125 MEGABYTE PER SECOND = Standard HDD Speed => Most of them are equipped with SSDs today.
And another thing. Every cheap laptop has a gigabit ethernet port yes, every cheapest cable can gigabit. BUT not every router can GIGABIT.
Each 0815 router has Gigabit itself ancient and the 5GHZ W-Lan I have long synonymous.
The conversion from bit to byte I already know (bit / 8 = byte), I was about your statement with normally 300Mbit.
Right. Quite simple is not necessarily for a layman, but sustainable.
That's why I linked these YT tutorials.
One must also remember that there are people who can't necessarily afford a large USB hard drive (only for data transfer).
And with a small USB stick, you almost become a "disk jockey" and you have to pay attention to what has already been copied and what not.
And on a home network, you can also use a sync tool (such as PureSync, or FreeFileSync), or a feature-rich 2-window file manager such as Free Commander XE. Likewise, mass copiers, such as Tera Copy, or Rich Copy are very useful.
Then that's really comfortable. At least relatively…
