Windows Easy Transfer

I wnat to remove all my files from my laptop (running Windows Vista) to my new computer, (running Windows 7) as I want to remove evrything from the laptop as I want to sell it, and I have looked up the FAQ, but it does not say if I can do this with Windows 7. Is this possible? I do not have an Easy Transfer cable. Thank you for any help.

I'm unsure where you have kept your files (I assume it is just the "data" files you wish to keep) but if they have always been saved to the "My Documents" directory/folder can you not simply copy those over to a pen flash drive, or maybe write/burn them to a CD/DVD ?

Yes, I can, and I think that it will probably be the easiest way of doing it. Thank you OG
Copying to a flash drive is one of the options offered by Windows Easy Transfer.
It also gives you the choice of copying other stuff (such as e-mails, accounts, favourites, music, etc, ).
The whole point of Easy transfer is that it's easy, and can copy and incorporate stuff properly into to the correct places on your new computer.
