Belkin Easy Transfer Cable - Fast and easy

I knew it was time to upgrade to a new computer, but I didn't know the best way to transfer my old computer's contents. After reviewing many options, I settled on a lightweight transmission cable. Honestly I didn't think it would work. But it worked and I was able to do it myself easily and simply. Although I own several websites I consider myself technically demanding but this was really easy. My fame must begin with a brief guide. Unlike many manuals that consist of illustrations withโ€ฆ

Works great - from W7 to W7

At first I wasn't sure if this cable would work for me as I read somewhere that it only works for 32-bit versions of Windows 7 and 32- Bit versions works from Windows 7. . I recently bought a new Windows 7 64-bit laptop and needed to transfer files from my previous Windows 7 32-bit laptop. Anyway, I found this cable here on Revain and the description said it was compatible for the transfer I need. I suppose if it doesn't work I'll just return it. I ordered it via local express shipping andโ€ฆ

No instructions are needed

I bought it when buying a new laptop and it was necessary to transfer information to it from the old one. A CD with a program for the transmission was enclosed. If I ever feel like I need clarification I won't hesitate to read the instructions but it seemed pretty self explanatory to me. Plugged it in, booted up a CD on my old laptop, hit the button to start the transfer, then sat back and let it do its thing. So it was pretty easy to use, but I still deducted two stars for the followingโ€ฆ

  • Useful not only for its intended purpose

Easy - Almost Perfect Transfer

I used to use the Belkin Easy Transfer Cable to transfer data from Windows XP to Windows Vista, so I was disappointed when I heard from Belkin that I had to purchase this cable to transfer data from Vista to Windows 7. Most of my data transfers to a new computer involved manually transferring data via cable or external hard drive. However, I kept skipping files, and sometimes I had trouble finding the right place to look for specific files. Since my last move to Vista was so easy with aโ€ฆ

Works fine with a bit of fiddling

I moved about 85GB of files from an XP computer to a new Win7 computer, but not without problems. Windows Easy Transfer kept crashing on my XP machine until I figured the cable was a waste of money and I had to use flash drives. Finally I went to the Win7 computer and opened My Network or whatever it's called in Win7 to see if I could see the XP computer and maybe use a cable and Windows Explorer to move files. As soon as I did that, the Win 7 computer started downloading some files andโ€ฆ

Very smooth after slow start

Well, as some other reviewers have pointed out, it takes a few times. I would say that the third time is nice. The first two times, both computers sat paralyzed. No light flickered, nothing. And I kept getting multiple Smart Ram error messages on my old machine. As a result, both machines rebooted twice. I then did what I had to do before I started and ran some diagnostics and fixes on my 5 year old laptop, which has been a bit strange lately. After that everything was pretty easy. Luckily Iโ€ฆ
