    Copying files between laptops

    Copying files from old (win7) to new (win10) via simple cat6 network cable. Was getting speeds of 10MBPS last night! WTF!

    Googled around and it is a known issue copying from win7 and something I am going to look at is iperf? Anyone done this? Other ways to make it fast?

    TIA

    I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

    External hard drive no use?

      If you use "Windows Easy Transfer" you can use a USB drive as the destination or copy the files over Ethernet. Give it a go (clue - it's built into Windows).
      I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).

        Wasn't that what I was doing? Why the slow speed then?

          Slow disks or are they both SSD?

            10MBPS (MegaBYTES per second) or 10Mbps (MegaBITS per second)?

            If it's the former then I guess one of the NICs is 100MBps, quite common for older laptops with theoretical maximum speed of around 12MBPS

            Even a slow 5400 should have at least 30-50MBPS read/write speed

              Both are SSD.

                It's probably the ethernet card driver and settings.

                Look at the Disabling “Large Send Offload (LSO)” on Local Area Network : How to fix slow LAN transfer speed of files in Windows and remember to do it on both computers...

                  Not sure what you were using, tbh, since it it wasn't mentioned in the OP? If I have misread it, then "my bad", sorry.

                    Also try using Robocpy in cmd instead of the GUI crap, should be builtin even in Win7
