How to Back Up Data to Another Computer?

Article ID Code: GK-CPI-07

GEEKOM has developed a dedicated software for data transfer that can be used on computers of all brands: GEEKOM PC Clone (click to download)

Notes:

1. Both devices need to have the software installed and select “Send Data” and “Receive Data” respectively. By default, data is transferred to the root directory of the C drive on the new computer, but you can change the destination location when selecting files to transfer.
2. The software transfers data via WLAN hotspot without requiring an internet connection, so there is no need to worry about data leakage.
3. During the transfer process, both computers will temporarily be unable to access the internet. The larger the amount of data, the longer the transfer will take.
4. It is recommended to set the system to “Never Sleep” before transferring data to prevent the computer from entering sleep mode and interrupting the transfer.
