Not sure if this is the correct forum for this question - if not, would
someone advise me of the correct group to use?
I want to connect a new laptop with Vista to and older one with XP - I only
want to copy files between the two so that I can use the old laptop as a
form of backup - I don't want to connect the machines for any other reason.
I have tried a crossover cable setup but I find it too complicated, and I am
not highly computer literate.
I found a wizard on my Vista machine for something called Windows Easy
Transfer, and one of the options is to use an Easy Transfer USB cable. Is
this type of setup easy to use, once the cable is connecting the two
machine? Hopefully it is a lot less complicated than the crossover cable.
