How To Transfer Files By Data Cable From Pc To Laptop?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Depending on what you have available these are some of the options:

    1. If you have a home network setup, you can just transfer the files from the desktop to the laptop through Network Places/Neighborhood.

    2. If both laptop and desktop have ethernet/network ports available, you can use a crossover cable and create a simple network to transfer files between the two machines.

    3. You can buy a USB Enclosure drive and mount the desktop's hard drive to use it as an external hard drive. Make sure to get one that mentions 3.5" drives at least - those are for hard drive sizes. They also have those USB to IDE adapters that you can buy instead. These will have no cases for them. You just plug in the hard drive and connect the other end to the laptop's available USB port (preferably USB 2.0 for higher speed).
