Scenario 2 – Windows Easy Transfer is used for single computer migrations such as transferring to a new computer from an old computer or when you upgrade your operating system. There are two ways you can do Windows Easy transfer; the first is Side-by-side migration which requires two computers. This process takes the profile from the first computer onto some form of a connection medium and then is transferred to the new system. The second way is through wipe and load migration. This method uses only one computer and the user saves their profile to an external medium and then performs a clean install on the computer. Then when the new operating system is installed, they can transfer their profile to the new clean system.
