There was a major shuffle in pc hardware when Microsoft discontinued support for Windows 7. But there was a lot of work to be done, especially in enterprises to transfer tons of data from primitive hardware to new shiny computers running the latest renditions of Microsoft- Windows 10.

With the release of Windows 10, Easy Transfer did not get a lifeline. This time, Microsoft partnered with Laplink for a short period that offers free Windows migration services. Now, this free offer has expired and users need to spend at least $30 to use PCmover now. If you think you are not up for the task to import your files, there are services in Windows Migration Paris that provide swift and reliable solutions.

If you can handle a little work, here is a simple guide on how to Windows migration:

Use A Microsoft Account

If you are using a local account, you can convert it into a Microsoft account. This will easily allow easy transfer of user profile settings with a sign in. You have to install important files and reinstall programs with an external storage device. For the users of Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, you can transfer Microsoft account files with a simple sign-in. 

Use A Free Data Transfer Tool (TransWiz)

If you do not want to convert your local account into a Microsoft account to export your user settings, consider TransWiz. It’s a free tool that offers multiple accounts migration in one step.

Starting by installing TransWiz on both the new and old machines, attach an external drive and select it as a host to carry profile data. TransWiz will create a zip file of your data. Connect the drive with the new machine and choose the restore data option. It will unzip the folder itself. The machine will require a restart to finish adding the profile. 

TransWiz brings over profile data but other files need to be transferred manually. Other third-party programs need to be installed, too.

Buy A Paid Tool (PCmover$30)

Using a paid tool like PCmover, you can transfer user profile data as well as files, folders, and reinstall programs. There are numerous levels of transferring files based on your package. To migrate all users and applications in a single haul, the “Express” version priced at $30 will suffice. After following the wizard, you will find all the files and applications in your new machine.
