Data transfer between computers

There are several cases when you might find it useful to transfer data from one computer to another. For example, when switching to a new computer most users will have files and folders that they want to transfer from the old computer to the new one.

Using OneDrive to move files between computers

One of the easiest ways to move files between two computers would be to either:

1. Upload all required files from the old computer to a OneDrive cloud folder
2. Sync a folder on the old computer to OneDrive

Once the required files are uploaded or synced to the OneDrive cloud location, you could then log into your OneDrive on the new computer and download/access the files.

Please see our dedicated webpage for more information about the basics of OneDrive.
