Best Way to Transfer Data From an Old to New PC

​There are many options by which you can transfer your data from PC to PC. The most common solution is to use an external flash disk. You can simply connect a high-capacity USB stick in one computer, copy all the data you wish to transfer across, and then insert the same flash USB into the new computer and download everything. It doesn’t get much simpler than that.
If you have a large amount of data to transfer, you can use a high-capacity external drive instead of the flash USB. A USB 3.0 disk drive is ideal if time is of the essence and you have a large amount of data to transfer. However, both computers will need to be equipped with USB 3.0 ports in order to take advantage of the improved USB 3.0 transfer speeds.
 
Another method of transferring data from computer to computer is to turn to the cloud. This is the ideal solution if the two computers are not in the same location. While email is one of the easiest ways of transferring files via the cloud, it not exactly the most efficient. Your best bet would be a cloud storage service such as DropBox, Google Drive, or OneDrive. These are great solutions because you can store as many files as your storage space permits and can upload and download a large number of files at once. What’s more, if the computers are syncing files locally, you can be uploading and downloading the files at the same time.

See what our clients have to say...

Very pleased with Tech Force!  We've been using Tech Force for over four years now.  We've had a lot of different people do computer and IT stuff for us, but Tech Force is the first to come in and implement a plan.  The plan was executed and we've had no problems.

Tech Force is very good at getting back to you when you have a problem. You don't have to wait and wait for things to get done. If they can't take care of the problem remotely, they will come over here. They always send somebody who is skilled and knows how to take care of the problem, unlike the companies we've used in the past. We've been very pleased with Tech Force!  ~ Ed V., Advanced Spine & Sport
