Transfer from Windows 8 to Windows 10 or Windows 11Transfer from Windows 8 to Windows 10 or Windows 11

Here, we offer you two simple and fast ways to transfer from Windows 8 to Windows 10. The first one is to use Microsoft's built-in Windows Easy Transfer, and the other is to use the popular third-party transfer software – Todo PCTrans. As I compared in the early section about how to use Windows Easy Transfer for Windows 10, users may find that the former does not support app transfer.

So it's worth thinking about what you want to transfer from Windows 8 to Windows 10, and then picking the tool that best suits your needs.

Option 1: Use Windows Easy Transfer to Move from Windows 8 to Windows 10 or 11

To launch the “Windows Easy Transfer,” you must first close all running programs. Right-click the Start button, and select “Explore.” You can find the “Windows Easy Transfer” under All Programs > Accessories > System Tools. Or, simply type “Windows Easy Transfer” into the search box and open it. You should see the main window, as shown below.

With “Windows Easy Transfer,” you can transfer user accounts, documents, music, pictures, e-mail, Internet favorites, and videos. Click Next, and it will prompt you to move your stuff over to the new PC via an Easy Transfer cable, network, or external hard drive or USB flash drive.

Choose your transfer method, and then confirm whether the target computer is new or the same as the original. You'll then create a Windows Easy Transfer key that the target computer will prompt you for when you run Windows Easy Transfer on it.

The three methods are not equivalent, and if you are not computer-savvy, you should not risk wasting your time and energy. That is why I cannot resist sharing with Windows 10 enthusiasts the second approach, which makes it easier and faster to migrate from Windows 8 to Windows 10.

Option 2: Use Todo PCTrans to Migrate from Windows 8 to Windows 10/11

The process is simple and quick, and it spares novices to Windows 10 the trouble of figuring things out for themselves. In addition to the items covered by Windows Easy Transfer, the Windows 10 migration tool also transfers “Apps.”

Some critical tasks and business applications may fail to migrate from your current Windows platform to the new target OS version when using Windows Easy Transfer. This is where Todo PCTrans stands out as a solution tool, surpassing its competitors in functionality.

Step 1: Choose Transfer Mode.

• Download and install the Todo PCTrans tool on both computers. • Launch Todo PCTrans on both computers and choose "PC to PC". (The "PC to PC" feature transfers files over a network connection.

Step 2: Connect the two computers.

• Connect to the computer you want to control and enter its account password or verification code. • Find the verification code on the upper-right corner of the “Computer-to-computer” main screen of the computer you want to view. • Specify the direction of transfer, and click “Connect.”

Step 3: Choose the files you want to transfer.

• Hover the mouse over "File" and click "Edit."
• Select the file you want to transfer.
• If you want to change the default save location, click the "Edit" icon.
