Sure, please provide the text that needs to be translated.

Here, we present two options for an effortless and swift transition from Windows 8 to Windows 10. The first choice is Microsoft's built-in Windows Easy Transfer, while the alternative is to utilize the popular third-party transfer software - Todo PCTrans Free.

As I've compared the two methods in an earlier passage discussing how to use Windows 10 easy transfer, users might notice that the first approach doesn't support transferring applications.

Therefore, it's crucial for you to decide what you want to transfer from Windows 8 to Windows 10, and you need to study the features of both utilities carefully to pick your favorite.

选择哪种方法？您的指南在这里：

• To转移所有的文件、应用和设置到新的Windows 10或Windows 11电脑，使用Todo PCTrans工具。
• 如果只是向旧版Windows电脑简单传输小容量数据，可以尝试Windows Easy Transfer。

Option 1. Tool - Todo PCTrans Free

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 8.1, 8, 10, 11, and older versions including Windows 7, XP, Vista.

It's free and quick, thus saving considerable hassle for inexperienced Windows 10 users. Apart from the items mentioned in Windows Easy Transfer, Windows 10 transfer software tools also support an additional item called applications.

Using Windows Easy Transfer, some essential and business-specific applications might not be able to migrate from the current Windows platform to the new target operating system version. In such cases, the software Todo PCTrans serves as a solution to overcome this issue. It outperforms its competitors in fulfilling this objective.

meanwhile, the user guide for the tool Todo PCTrans is more straightforward. The process is designed to be completed either via a connected network or an image file. Let's explore how to use Todo PCTrans to migrate from Windows 8 to Windows 10 or 11.

Step 1. Select the transfer direction.

• Download and install Todo PCTrans on both computers.
• Launch Todo PCTrans on both machines and determine which computer is the new one and which is the old one. (The "PC to PC" feature transfers files via network connection. If your computers are not on the same Local Area Network (LAN), opt for "Backup and Restore" instead.)
• Make sure your computers meet the requirements for network-based transfer and click "Start".

Step 2. Connect the two computers.

Connect to the target PC, and then enter the account password or verification code of the target PC. On the target PC, under the main "PC to PC" screen, check the verification code located in the top-right corner; click "Connect."

Step 3. Select the files you want to transfer.

• Hover your cursor over the "Files" option and click "Edit".
• Select the files you wish to transfer.
• If you want to modify the default storage path, click the "Edit" icon.
• Then, click "Transfer".

Step 4. Transfer files between two different operating systems.

When it's done, click "OK," and you can proceed to check the files on the target computer.

Option 2.  Windows Easy Transfer

Supported OS: Windows 8.1/8 and older versions Windows 7/XP/Vista

Please note that Microsoft no longer supports Windows Easy Transfer for Windows 10, so you can only use this tool to transfer files between Windows 8 computers or even older Windows devices. Follow these steps to get started:

Step 1. To start Windows Easy Transfer, you must first close all open programs.

Step 2. Right-click the Windows Start button. You can find Windows Easy Transfer via All Programs > Accessories > System Tools. Alternatively, type "Windows Easy Transfer" in the search box to locate it.

打开它，你将看到这样的主窗口。

Step 3. With Windows Easy Transfer, you can transfer user accounts, documents, music, pictures, email, Internet favorites, and videos.

Step 4. Click "Next," and you're told that you can transfer your stuff to the new PC using an Easy Transfer cable, a network, or an external hard drive or USB flash drive.

Step 5. Choose a transfer method, and confirm if the target computer is a new one or the previous one.

Step 6. Later, you'll create a Windows Easy Transfer key that will be confirmed on the target computer with Windows Easy Transfer.

Conclusion

The migration varies from one of these three methods. If you're not tech-savvy, it's not worthwhile to risk your time and energy. Under this circumstance, I can't help but share Method 1 – a much easier and quicker way for die-hard Windows 10 fans to transfer data from Windows 8 to Windows 10.

Todo PCTrans is a tool that not only boasts better compatibility with a wider range of Windows operating systems but also offers an expanded array of features, enabling users to transfer various types of data, files, applications, and settings according to their individual needs.
