I'd just pull the hard drive out your old machine and plug it inside the new one to transfer the files internal bus speeds are far faster than any usb/network options. It's all plug and play inside a pc if the plug fits it'll work.

That 17inch lathe was a absolute bargain 😲

both the D S & Gs were Thomas the 1709 was well over £3k's worth any day ... Mastiff was 50-60% of market value
issue with just pulling the HD is it won't synch everything else i need to - passwords, five email a/cs, saved web addresses, favorites, bookmarks, etc., etc. .... I've had this a long time and there is a HELL OF A LOT of stuff to synch. Really need to link the pair.

Careful with that - the newer generation CPU's won't run Win7.
Win7 will run on a CPU up to (and including) gen6, but gen10 is now current, so there are plenty of newer PC's that can't run Win 7 if you want / need the older OS

If you are just transferring files, then yes, it should be fine.

whole new desk top acquired Boyo .... courtesy of some help from @Cyberprog as to what .... now on W10 ... can't say I like it a lot, but fast ... I swear the thing knows when i walk in the room ..... boots up from sleep, 'fore I even sit down :oops::oops: .... synching the pair has been some task, but now have most of my stuff on both .... and all my files were on a stand alone too so can always get at stuff via that ..... biggest issue is email ..... all saved stuff just doesn't open in W10 .. so 'old faithful will still be my primary access for mail ... hate web mail with a vengeance ...... anyone ( @Rivmedia ) have any suggestions for HTF I could get Outlook Express onto the new W10 machine?
IMHDO it's still the best email platform there was.

I'd suggest running it in a virtual machine but that's a whole avenue of pain can you not transfer your mail over to mail on windows 10?

got all my various addresses all feeding one main identity .... only have to view one inbox to get everything .. took me some setting up, but sorted.
more a storage and access issue ... 'Express' is so convenient and easy to store/search/recall with. ...... and no limits.

Move to full blown Outlook. It's much better than express but looks mostly similar. You'll get the hang quickly.
Deffo, he should be able to import it shouldn't he? PST etc? While since I've done that...

Pass. It's a possibility!

could never get on with full Outlook .....
I have Outlook 365 on old faithful which i used to use for all BOC's paperwork in work .. still works and my one email addy is linked to it
I just hate webmail with a passion .... express is sooooooo easy to organise/file/save from/generally great ...... was looking for some correspondence the other day from over ten years ago, relating to the house ..... found it POP .... try that with webmail :rolleyes:
