Windows Easy Transfer

Windows Easy Transfer (formerly known as Windows Transfer in early builds) is a file transfer program that was introduced in Windows Vista to replace the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard that was present in the CD-ROM installation media for Windows XP and the User State Migration Tool command line utility in Windows 2000.

It allows users to transfer files and settings from a computer running an older version of Windows to a computer running an newer version of Windows. The transfer process can be done using several methods such as using an Easy Transfer Cable, a network connection, CDs and DVDs and external drives.

Windows Easy Transfer was discontinued with the release of Windows 10. However, there are free alternatives that can be used to transfer data from older versions of Windows to Windows 10 and Windows 11.
