Windows 11: Fast file transfer between PCs over network with Robocopy

Windows 11 steps for fast file transfer over the network with Robocopy.
⏯ This video walks you through the steps to copy files from an old PC to a new PC over the network by sharing a folder and using Robocopy with multithread mode to copy multiple files at ones and SMB compression to speed up the transfer over the network. Whether this is an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection.

Thank you. Add credential was what I was looking for!

Thanks for the video. Even though it's slower, I prefer to use the old SyncToy tool. With it I can do partial work and repeat until it's all done. I can preview changes first.

First of all good video but it should have been broken up into two parts. 1. How to file share between computers 2. How to use ROBOCOPY. Question can you use the compression feature to send files from a W11 pc to a W10 pc ?

Now make a video how to delete million of files fast :P

I'm pretty sure it can all be automated by creating your own shell extension with a batch or powershell script, so you can do most of the work with a single right click. One context menu option for copy (cache the folder path), another for paste (use that path with robocopy in the current location)

I can easily login using my local account credentials despite it being a MS account. Even Microsoft accounts have local credentials. I don't even get it how it's a problem? Am I missing something?

Anyway good guide thank you.

The process itself it's longer than the process of transferring files

[santipierinirees]

Can you please tell me that how much data does uup dump take to download windows 11 built 22581

[martyvanduzer]

Im in pain just listening to the process. Its 2023, why not have a much simpler process?

@ 1:35 it's so wrong for them to put ads in file explorer and especially the way they word it "if you want to protect your files you can back them up using our paid for one Drive service" of course with Microsoft wants to put ads on their website that's fine but to put ads inside someone's file manager while trying to get work done it's just wrong..

Window 11 have bad memory management as compared to window 10. You can do same work you was doing with same memory in window 10, i used 8gb ram and If open eclipse and run application all memory occupied your display will start flicker due to memory, but on window 10 that quickly free memory by tranfer it to page file. Always free 1gb memory but window 11 just full your memory and flicker your screen.

I know they have intentionally done this at 12:56 because they are not so dumb that they would accidentally.
ALSO, Microsoft, we are paying or more accurately most of us are paying for your operating system through laptops and pre-builts, still you are serving us Ad. Now, what more do you want from us
