I'd rather not set about cleaning my full Ext. HDD's, and then copying files over that way.
What's the best way to connect 2 PC's using Windows (7, and probably 10).
Don't suppose I can just connect them via their USB ports.

Silly me, if you're copying loads of files, Crossover Cable.

Ethernet cable in general, you don't need a crossover cable nowadays when ethernet ports will auto crossover if needed.Originally Posted by harrybarracuda
you don't need to go out and buy a cross over cable unless your machines are ancient.
Just run a normal Ethernet cable between the 2. They will configure themselves
^ there you go
You should grey Harry for that
Yeah well, if you'd bothered to read the link....
Bunch of fucking smartypants.Before buying a crossover cable, check your network adapter. Some newer network adapters automatically cross over when they detect that they're connected directly to another network adapter using a regular Ethernet cable.
Why should I read it when I know that auto MDI-X was introduced 15 years ago and rapidly became popular.Originally Posted by harrybarracuda
Crossover cables hasn't been needed for a ethernet port manufactured during last 10 years and I don't expect anyone here to have a computer older than that.
What MS wrote when Win7 was introduced has no relevance today, it may even be a text snippet they copied directly from WinXP support..
You cared earlier, well at least to c&p the first link you found without reading it.
No I mean I don't care why Microsoft posted it, but it had all the answers.
The rest is just background noise.
Araldite?
