Windows Easy Transfer is a specialized file transfer program developed by Microsoft which allows users of the Windows operating system to transfer personal files and settings from a computer running an earlier version of Windows to a computer running a newer version. Windows Easy Transfer was introduced in Windows Vista and is included in the Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 operating systems. It replaces the ''Files and Settings Transfer Wizard'' included with Windows XP and offers limited migration services for computers running Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 and Windows XP Service Pack 2. It does not transfer applications only files and most settings. If you transfer files containing malicious software from your old computer, that software can be transferred to your new computer. You should run antivirus and spyware protection programs at all times, especially on your old computer, before you select files to transfer. After you've transferred files to your new computer, run those programs on the new computer to make sure that no malicious software was transferred.〔http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/transferring-files-settings-faq#1TC=windows-7〕 The Windows Easy Transfer program was discontinued in Windows 10. Microsoft has chosen to provide a free version of Laplink's PCmover Express as an alternative to WET. A paid alternative is Zinstall Easy Transfer (Zinstall also allows to transfer programs, in addition to files). ==History== For Windows 2000, Microsoft had developed the User State Migration Tool command line utility that allowed users of Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0 to migrate their data and settings to the newer operating system; the command-line tool did not provide a graphical user interface. An additional migration tool, titled ''Files and Settings Transfer Wizard'', was developed for Windows XP. FSTW was designed to assist users of the operating system in migrating their data and settings from Windows 98 and Windows Me. FSTW could be launched from the Windows XP CD-ROM and presented options to transfer data and settings via a direct cable connection, a 3.5 inch floppy, a zip disk, or a network connection. Moreover, an option to create a ''wizard disk'' was available that could be used to initiate the migration process on an earlier system.〔 A preliminary version of Windows Easy Transfer was demonstrated during the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference by Jim Allchin in 2004 as the successor to the ''Files and Settings Transfer Wizard'', and was scheduled for the next client version of the Windows operating system, Windows Vista, then known as Windows "Longhorn." As with the final release, this version of the application was intended to optionally use an specialized USB cable to transfer data between personal computers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Windows Easy Transfer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
