How to transfer data from your old PC to brand new Windows 8 PC?

Transferring information from an old computer into a new one can be done by using three ways, which are via a cable, over a network or through a portable drive. It’s on you, which method you choose, the one which contains fewer, simpler steps or another that follows a lengthy series of leaps.

So, if transferring you computers’ information from the old machine to the new one is what you are looking at, here’s the process. This is the simple way to connect two Windows 8 PCs, to accomplish the purpose of data transfer.

1. To begin with make sure you are signed in as an administrator on your old PC, which is inevitable to copy files. When beginning this process of file transfer make sure the power source is plugged on, as it’s a little heavy on resources and might need battery, a lot of it.
2. Start the Windows Easy Transfer program on your Windows 8 PC and click ‘next’, when the command appears. Right click on the blank part of the Start screen to launch this program, and when App Bar opens. Click ‘All Apps’ to see all apps that you’re PC has stored. Clicking the Windows Easy Transfer will help in loading the program, which can also be done manually on a touchscreen device. After opening, the “next” button emerges; clicking it would lead you past the introductory screen.
3. Next you need to decide, what method you wish to choose, which are Easy transfer Cable, External Hard Disk/flash drive or over a network.

Depending on the route you choose for data transfer, below mentioned are the three steps:

• When using an Easy Transfer Cable, you would need to install this program on your old PC first. Well, if it runs on Windows Vista or XP, the program will assist you in transferring the Easy transfer program in the older computer by a portable drive. Next, the file transfer program is run on both the PCs, cable is connected between the two USB ports. The files that need to be transferred are selected and the “transfer” button is clicked, the copying of files to your Windows 8 PC then progresses and finally finishes the transfer.
• When transferring over the network, the initial steps remain same and the program walks you through data transfer via using a portable device. The Windows Easy Transfer is run on the old PC and you need to opt for transfer by Network. The six digit key is provided which you must note down. Entering this 6 digit key in the new PC helps in establishing a connection between the two. The files that are to be transferred are selected and after clicking the “transfer” button, the task of copying files to the Windows 8 PC initiates, leading to completion.
• When using an external hard disk, choose “no”, when asked that you have already copied the files to be transferred to the external hard disk. The program would then ask for installation of Windows Easy Transfer, which you need to choose depending upon the OS your system is using. This program is run on the older PC and the portable drive is plugged in. Next you need to follow the introductory steps of the program, choose “transfer” to external hard disk and select the data to be transferred. After the process of copying data to the portable hard disk finishes, you must unplug this from your old PC and connect the same with your new PC. Then click saved files, transfer and the process of transferring data to your new Windows 8 PC begins.
• You can now finish this up by confirming that all the data you were intending to transfer has already been transferred to the new PC. The Easy Transfer Cable is then unplugged, which can be used anytime later, if needed.

In case, you opted for a portable hard drive transfer, make sure the same remains attached to your new PC, while you are using the File History backup program. However you can always call SupportMart's Windows 8 Support Number 1 800 793 7521 anytime for instant support.

‘KitKat plus Nexus 5’: killer combo from Google, now out

Google, the news maker, has now released the Nexus 5 powered with the newest and most awaited version of Android Operating System-‘KitKat’. This is not just great inside, but feels awesome outside too, with a lighter, sleeker and thinner look. Better image processing, enhanced memory management and sophisticated search capabilities are just few of the ace features this new, revamped version of the OS packs.

The highly anticipated Nexus 5 is now out, and is a product from LG that boasts a 5 inch display screen and weighs just 4.59 oz. Overpowering its predecessor in most aspects; this one’s truly the better one. The Snapdragon 800 processor is the one responsible for the great speed this gadget offers.

Also, for those picture lovers is the 8 MP rear camera and the 1.3 MP front camera. Even those shaky hands can no more cause hurdle in clicking those crisper photos, this is due to the optical image stabilization feature the device packs.

Nexus 5 is available for T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T customers. Presented in black or white colors, this comes in 16 GB or 32 GB versions. This bigger, bolder device just takes forward our idea of using technology at its best.

This one’s a cover for the poor publicity of the Moto X. KitKat combined with Google+, a great combo, has helped in shifting conversation with customers, which from storage and backup is now moving to remixing that can help users narrate newer stories with ease.

KitKat: the bigger picture

KitKat, the latest from the family of operating systems from Android, has managed to create a rage even before its release. This OS believes in turning complicated things into simpler, search using voice helps in accomplishing complex searches in an easier and natural way. Identifying misidentified voice phrases again turns easier with this tool handy.

Also, it gives you more than you ask for (a pretty unbelievable fact though!). For example, if you ask for lunch spots located nearby, this will prompt you to go ahead and make the reservation at one you shortlisted. Also, if searching for amusement parks in a location, you can know the opening and closing time as well.

Hangout and SMS messages have been clubbed in one place, making it pretty simple for you to chat, view or video call or text your friends and family to stay in touch with all those who matter in your life.

Kitkat: the one for all OS

Better memory management, which can help in covering for the continuous bad publicity about fragmentation issues Android presents, might prove a boon for Google. The search engine leader can now rule the upcoming market of smartphones in the lower-end category.

The bottom line is that although a popular OS from Android, but there’s nothing killer about this app. The final question that rises now is that how long it will take for the partners of Google to roll this into the other range of existing devices. Well, that’s something only time can tell! So, keep waiting and keep coming back.

Google plans to secure saved passwords on Chrome

Web browser mechanisms have remained as long as there have been Web Browsers. Password storage is one such most used feature, to help users store passwords for sites they surf. The browser based-password management systems are not perfect, adorned with ease of use, but the security question seems bigger.

Google, realizing this shortcoming of password management tools have now released a new update. The search engine giant, comprehending the security loophole, at this instant advises users to authenticate by using a system password, that’s not easy to track. Accessing passwords on Chrome browser is much easy, where a user just needs to navigate through the link chrome://settings/passwords and get it all here.

This feature has been incorporated in the newest Chromium build for OS X, where any users in order to get acess to the stored passwords, must first insert the system’s password. The link is a way of remembering passwords, and is of special significance for people who stay active on a number of websites on a regular basis. Google’s lack of information on this part has been criticized time and again, as intruding into one’s personal account and using the information for acquiring self benefits cannot be just overlooked.

The company thus suggests keeping your system locked, whenever you are not at the keyboard to avoid such intrusions. Any user stands just two options, at least till the time Google comes up with a cover for this flaw. First is not relying on the password management system at all and using a backup and second is to keep the system locked, whenever away from the same and also inserting a login password that’s difficult to track.

So, avoid putting all your eggs in one basket and if you are not amongst those who remembers locking the computer every time it’s not in use, don’t store the passwords only.

For any issue you can always call SupportMart's Google Chrome Support Number 1 800 793 7521 toll free.

Google, the foremost search engine, keeps adding new and improved features to their social networking platform every now and then. The latest on this front is the introduction of SMS support now getting added to Hangouts.
The inception of Hangout by Google was not amongst the most anticipated features, especially seeing the things it lacked to become the ultimate unified system for communication. SMS was one of the most missed features here, which Google said they were going to add soon. After a long waiting session, it’s finally here.
More on the list would be the support for GIF, SMS and location sharing. Like most other services from Google, even these newer ones will serve on mobile and desktop devices, while using the browser, giving users the similar flawless experience that they had with the existing tools. And for the SMS feature, it would be received just like any other message with a small icon popping up right beside the name of the sender, to let you know from where and from whom it came.
The response to this service that how users will react when they have an SMS, while already being inside a message seems unclear still, but it’s not a long waiting period to get to know that experience.

SMS Hangouts will be released soon for the Android and iOS devices as well, which would be made available in the form of an update to the existing app.
