I had used the Lenovo backup system to back the files onto an external HDD. I have had it replaced with a Sony Viao on Winsows 8 and am completely baffled on how to transfer the files onto my new laptop, can anyone help?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Jan</P> Mon, 30 Dec 2013 00:26:32 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/file-transfer-from-windows-7-to-8-problem/m-p/1472006#M132833 bigmama1960 2013-12-30T00:26:32Z https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/file-transfer-from-windows-7-to-8-problem/m-p/1472292#M132834 <P>Hi there and welcome to the Community <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.no/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /></P> <P>When you say you backed up files did you use specific software to do this?</P> <P>(for example Lenovo's OneKey Recovery.)</P> <P>Did you make an image file, ( e.g. a copy of the whole system) or did you just copy files / folders across to the external drive?</P> Mon, 30 Dec 2013 11:28:37 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/file-transfer-from-windows-7-to-8-problem/m-p/1472292#M132834 jumpsuit 2013-12-30T11:28:37Z
