It may be a problem to switch to another PC until you decide to plug into a storage drive. Microsoft has now been tested for a wireless transfer feature that will make the PC easy to swap.
Transferring data between PCs may be easier soon
Windows already has an underlying backup app that lets you quickly restore files and settings from an old PC via Onedrive. However, this feature is not a perfect solution, and unless you have a lot of Onedrive storage, it is not going to be very useful besides bringing your Windows settings.
Viewed by Earth’s phantom on xThere is a new option Transfer files to a new PC In the Windows Backup App. This is not your normal cloud data transfer, it seems a new wireless data transfer mechanism between two Windows PCs connected to the same Wi-Fi network. When a PC starts transfer, you will get six-conductive passcode to enter another PC to connect.
The feature notes the details that it can transfer files, apps, settings and credentials on a network. For reference, the current Windows Backup app lets you only backup files from desktops, documents, and picture folders to ondrives, and install apps, pinned apps, accounts, accounts, Wi-Fi network passwords, other credentials and your Windows settings and preferences.
If applied, it would be a much better experience when switching to a new from an old PC. Currently, even though you have got everything back using Windows backup, you still have to install all the apps manually after the switch. The best way to replicate your Windows installation is to either transfer the entire storage drive between the computer or clone your existing storage drives.
Windows has a file transfer tool to transfer data between the first two PCs. Windows Easy Transfer began in Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows was in OS until 8.1. This lets you transfer data between two PCs using network connections, USB drives or external storage such as CD/DVD, or through a special USB cable designed for direct data transfer between two PCs.
Microsoft’s shabby feature release records
Given that the nearby shares, how incredible the underlying wireless transfer tools of Windows 11, may eventually be another attempt to fix Windows’s wireless transfer crisis. However, I will not expect much until this feature begins to roll for the stable construction of Windows 11.
Unfortunately, Microsoft has a rather unstable record with releasing features spotted in the test. So, just because a windows backup feature has been observed, it is not necessary that it will end in stable release.
