How to transfer from Windows 10 to Windows 11

Windows 10

Got a new Windows 11 computer, and need to transfer everything from your old Windows 10? Don’t worry – you can do that without losing your applications, settings and files (and you don’t have to be a computer guru, either). In fact, we’ll show you how to transfer from Windows 10 to a new Windows 11 computer, completely automatically.

While Windows 11 itself does not include transfer tools “out of the box”, fortunately there is still a easy way to transfer programs, settings and files from Windows 10 to Windows 11, using a special transfer software that is designed for that exact purpose.

It’s automatic, straightforward to use, and ensures that nothing is lost in the transfer.

There are 3 parts you want the transfer to cover:

  • Files, such documents, pictures, music, pictures and emails
  • Settings, such as user profiles, emails, accounts, passwords, favorites, bookmarks, wallpaper and other personalization
  • Programs, such as transferring Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, Quickbooks, TurboTax, Firefox, Chrome, and other programs to the new computer

Let’s see how it’s done:

How to transfer from Windows 10 to a Windows 11 computer

  1. Download and run Zinstall WinWin on your old Windows 10 computer.
    Note: WinWin is the transfer software. You can get Zinstall WinWin here.
  2. Download and run Zinstall WinWin on the new Windows 11 computer as well.
    1. You don’t need to do any configurations for the computers to connect – it’s automatic
    2. If the computers are already connect to same internet router, same Internet connection, or same wireless connection, you don’t need anything else
    3. If the computers are not connected at all, connect them with a network / Ethernet cable
  3. If you’d like to select which applications and files you want to transfer, press the Advanced menu. If you just want to transfer everything, you don’t need to go to the Advanced menu.
  4. Press “Go” on the Windows 11 computer to start the transfer

That’s it! A few clicks, and you have your programs, profiles, accounts and files copied from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
