transferring files
Hello,
Here I am again. I installed win 10 from win 7 and it was the biggest mistake I have ever made with regard to my computer. I tried different things and it all looked very good, however, a lot of my files began not to open among other problems, as I am sure a lot of subscribers to this forum have noted. When the time came for me to say goodbye to 10, the month had already passed and I could NOT return to win 7. So now I am stuck with 10 on my desktop, however, I received a gift of a new HP notebook which comes, thankfully, with win 8.1 which I have previously used and am happy with it. Now comes the problem. I am trying to use Windows Easy Transfer to pass the files from my desktop to this new HP. I read that the best way was to backup the whole computer onto an external HD. I have the hard drive to do this but I have been unable to do a backup to my external HD in order to try to transfer from 10 to 8.1. Actually this is two problems. Hope someone can help me out with this.
