What is System Transfer?


System Transfer is a powerful feature that allows users to transfer operating systems to dissimilar computers, in spite of different hardware. 
 

What Do You Need to Prepare before Using System Transfer
Before starting a system transfer, please follow the below steps:
 

1. Check the boot modes of both computers(UEFI or Legacy).

Computers boot into UEFI and Legacy modes. For UEFI computers, they use GPT system disks and for Legacy computers, they use MBR system disks. To complete a system transfer, the two computers should share the same boot mode.
 
You can highlight Windows icon, insert "msinfo32" and find out the boot mode via "BIOS Mode". If your computers have different modes, please chat here for a customized solution:



2. Back up the source computer system to an external drive.
