    New PC Help

    I have a question. I just bought another pc. I need to transfer files from my old one to my new one. What would be the easiest and quickest way?
    I thought about using a bridged Ethernet cable to connect the 2 pcs together. Do I need to do anything to enable networking?
    I know using a regular Ethernet or USB cable can fry both computers, power supply and or motherboards.

    You could try using a homegroup, or an external hard drive.

    He would need Pro, or Ultimate to do network, it doesn't work with Home, the features just aren't there, although external / portable HD will work with any.
