Make sure you choose an option that works on both computers. For example, if your old computer isn't connected to your network, you can't use that method to transfer files and settings to your new computer. The number of files you plan to transfer might also affect your decision. If you're transferring all user accounts, files, and settings from a computer, use an Easy Transfer Cable or a network. If you're transferring just a few files, you might want to use removable media, such as a USB flash drive.
