There are several ways to transfer files from one computer to another in Windows 10. Here are two common methods: Method One: Using a USB Flash Drive 1. Insert the USB flash drive into the source computer (the one with the files). 2. Copy the files and folders you want to transfer onto the USB drive. 3. Safely eject the USB drive from the source computer. 4. Insert the USB drive into the target computer (the one receiving the files). 5. Open the USB drive on the target computer and copy the files to your desired location. 6. After you're done, safely eject the USB drive from the target computer. Method Two: Using a Network or the Internet 1. Install and log in to the same cloud storage service, such as OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox, on both computers. 2. On the source computer, upload the files you want to transfer to the cloud storage service. 3. Wait for the files to finish uploading. 4. Log in to the same cloud storage service account on the target computer. 5. Download the files you just uploaded to the desired location on the target computer. Note: If the files are large, transferring via the network or internet may take longer, while a USB flash drive might be faster but could be limited by its capacity. Choose the method that best suits your needs and available resources.
