Therefore, it is relevant as never the possibility of quick transfer of files from a computer to a portable device.

To transfer the necessary files from a computer to a laptop in several ways. With the help of a flash drive, it makes sense to endure information in cases where the volumes are relatively small - up to 20 gigabytes. However, this method is not fast and requires constant control by the user. Alternatively, you can use a large-volume USB drive, but such devices are notable.

Adherents of "old traditions" can use CD / DVD discs as an "mediator". That's just to transfer information in this way of multiple overwriting is extremely uncomfortable, and there is a chance that each next entry may be unreadable, and accordingly the last one.

The method of connecting the hard drive from the old device to the new, as the second hard disk, can only be recommended if the laptop is not under warranty. Otherwise, open the device and disrupt its integrity.

A fairly convenient way to transfer information using an external USB disk. The volume of such a drive can reach several terabytes. True, the cost of such devices is high.

And the cheapest and fast option is to create a local network from two computers. To reduce costs and do not acquire a Wi-Fi adapter, use a network cable. This will create a high data transfer rate. Connect the ends of the cable with network adapters of both devices.

After booting both computers, find the "Changing Adapter Settings" section of the Network Management Center on the computer. After that, open the properties of the network card on the laptop. Next, enter the TCP / IPv4 Internet Protocol settings. Put a static IP address.

Spend the same manipulations with a computer. And also configure the sharing parameters in the laptop. In the "Network and Shared Access Center", mark the "Changing Common Access Settings" item. By deploying your profile, you need to activate network detection. After that, allow access to shared folders and save the changes.

In the laptop, create a folder to which you to carry files from a computer. Open access to it. On the computer, click "Win" and "R". In the field that opens, enter "\\\\ 100.100.100.2". These numbers are the IP address of the laptop. After that, open the previously created public folder and copy files into it.

In addition to all listed ways to copy information, you can also use a USB 2.0 adapter. All models of hard drives can be connected to this device. This adapter also performs many other useful features.
