Acer XSync USB Bridging Cable - Drivers?

Which windows version is your PC? It could be a easy transfer cable which works upto windows 8, and there is a "Packard Bell XSync 1.0.752.68. 2" software package floating around on google, the cable seems to have the same serial number

If both machines are connected to the network, it may be easier to send files over a shared folder as it just two clicks

It could be!

And thats ok , can walk through it! We will make the shared folder on the windows 10 machine, and then can just drop everything into there, and move it around after rather than having to share a million folders on the 7 box.

In the below we will share the folder without needing to log in, so its very important to turn it off after!

To share
 1) on the windows 10 machine, head into your documents folder and make a new folder
 2) Right click -> Give access -> The dropdown -> Everyone
 3) You can copy the link and email it to yourself if you want, bu you shouldnt need it  

On the windows 7 machine:
 1) Open explorer
 2) Hit network, wait for the other machine to appear
 3) If it doesnt appear Go back to the windows 10 box goto start -> about this pc and take a note of the device name, this is used below
 4) Back to the windows 7 machine now, goto explorer -> \\DeviceName\
 5) You should now see the shared folder, and be able to copy and paste into it 

Now we turn the shared folder off
 1) Right click the folder you created 
 2) Give access to -> Remove access

The reason we are creating it without restictions is i dont think windows 7 would support the login using an outlook account

Then ignore the above post and transfer them files 👍


Please don't forget to turn that folder off, as it means *anyone* on the same network can access it! And hit the yes button on posts which answer the Q and it just marks the thread as solved if anyone else has the same problem

Ohhhhhhhhh it must be because its in the member lounge so it doesnt see it as a Q, learn something new everyday! Oh well maybe one of the staff can mark it on one of their drive by spree's

And pff you aint, I like hanging round here and helping people

If its lots of smaller files it can slow down the transfer as its lots of stop / start, If there are a lot in a folder, try adding them to a zip (Highlight all the ones you need, Right click, send to compressed zipped folder) and copying that across, it may be faster.

Also using an ethernet cable rather than wifi from the windows 7 box may make it a bit speedier , im guesing it will have a older wifi chip in it

Those cables were designed to be used to transfer files between two computer when upgrading from Windows XP to Windows Vista. They also were supported for Vista to 7 IIRC. Past those years various manufacturers sold cables with software for doing close to the same thing, but mostly just for copying data over, not the applications themselves. There are a couple of software packages that will transfer some apps, I have used Laplink PCmover to do that a couple of times now and it has been able to move most of my apps over. I have had to reinstall only a few that way. The cables aren't magic, without the software they don't do much...
