I am a new member here. I looked to find, but was not successful, a more closely related thread.
I just purchased a Win 8 PC (gateway) to replace a Win XP PC (Compaq); both are desktops. The OS (XP) crashed weeks ago; although it was re-installed and seem to work, it was just too much work to bring it up to date. Therefore the new Win 8.
I have a large collection of files on the XP that I would like to bring over to Win 8. The XP cannot yet be connected to the Internet; but its USB ports works fine.
Any way I can connect the two through USB to copy files from the XP to the Win 8? Any other ways? If you have a suggestion, please give me as detail as possible step-by-step instructions.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
