@pcwork do you have entire data from your hard disc to another computer or you have certain files in your mind. If I do not have a pen drive and I have to transfer only a few files, I will copy paste them and email to myself and then use it anywhere or upload it on any cloud service to download anywhere on any any computer. | |
There are many ways of transferring a data in the computer to another computer or device. 1. Use a flash drive. It is usually the USB device inserted to the computer USB terminal. Open the files to be transferred. click them and copy to USB. The steps are so simple. 2. Use an external drive. This is costly compared to USB device. It could hold many files even up to 200 gigabytes. The procedure is still the same in copying files and transfer to another location. This time, it is an external drive. 3. Transfer via Bluetooth. Single files or files with a few bytes, or documents, pictures could be transferred or sent via Bluetooth. Provided that the computer or the laptop has the Bluetooth facility installed. 4. Pull out the hard disk and transfer it to another computer which is running. After attaching it to another computer, a new drive will appear. Now start selecting the files to be transferred to a new drive. 5. Copy the files to a CD or DVD. This method had been long used several years. Nevertheless, this could serve the purpose, especially in transferring the data to CD or DVD. 6. If it does not run, use a bootable CD. This time, the dead computer would run by a new boot coming from the CD inserted. There could be an instance that this would occur. | |
I normally use a USB most of the time, or i transfer the files on my one drive and i can use that anytime and anywhere that i need to access the files. then there is also Bluetooth that i use, mostly when i want to transfer music files and videos i use the Bluetooth | |
Google Drive can be used to transfer files in this way or other cloud services like Microsoft OneDrive or Dropbox. | |
Got a memory card virus which cannot be easily removed so cannot use flash drive | |
This time, preferred by many is USB. This is very useful and effective to save our files or transfer some files for reproduction.Though there are many ways to transfer this time,but others prefer usb. For me, I use drip box,and storing them to my yahoo mails then open them for printing. | |
A small file is easy to transfer. What about 10 to 15 gigabytes files? How do you transfer them? In my case, I have lots of files stored on the school laptop. I have to remove or transfer them for they are my personal files. They are pictures of my family in various occasions. They are my important documents, posts, music and videos. I need them to be transferred for I have to return the school laptop for I will be retiring from the service comes October. |
