How long does the
Windows Easy Transfer
wizard take to finish?
That depends on how many
files you selected to transfer
and the speed of your
computer. If you store a
number of large files, such
as pictures, music files, and
videos on your computer,
Windows Easy Transfer can
take several hours to
complete. However, if you
have just a handful of
documents, saved e-mail,
and similar files, you can
expect Windows Easy
Transfer to finish within a
few minutes.
