This cable is a video conversion cable, not intended for data transfer.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I wouldn't think that you can use a DisplayPort to HDMI connection to transfer data between computers. I would think that you might want to use some type of USB cord instead. I haven't researched your question much but thought I would put my two cents out there. Another way that you may be able to transfer information that would be even simpler is to copy what you need to a flash drive and simply move that over onto a new computer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.no this is for connecting to a monitor tv or projector
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.HDMI cables are for video not to transfer data. Google null modem cable. That is what you need.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.A lot depends on what you want to transfer and how experienced you are. The simplest way is to restore the files you want from your backups. If all you need is your personal files, my favorite way of doing this is to remove the hard drive from the old machine and install it as a second drive in the new one. Then you can copy your documents, pictures, and whatnot over using Windows Explorer. There are three big advantages to this approach: You can pick things off your old drive whenever you need them; they'll always be there, in case you forgot something; and your data won't go out in the recycling with your old computer. If there's a mechanical reason why you can't do that, such as because the new machine is a laptop, then you can buy an adaptor that holds your old disk drive and connects by USB to the new computer. That accomplishes the same thing. It's less intimidating, because you don't have to open the case of the new system. It's also possible to network the two machines together, with or without a router. While that doesn't require a screwdriver, it requires you to know how to set up folder sharing. If none of those appeals to you, or if you have a lot of applications to move, consider the program PCmover. It is supposed to be able to transplant your applications, data, and settings in one shot. The boxed version includes a back-to-back network cable, in case you don't have a hub or router. (Please note that I have not used PCmover.) As for applications, you can either use PCmover and hope it lives up to its billing, or you can reinstall them one by one on the new system. Either way, you could run into applications that work on Windows 7 but not on Windows 10. You might be able to force them to work using the Windows Program Compatibility Troubleshooter that tries to work around those issues, but if they won't install at all you're stuck. There are some applications that just won't work—period—end of sentence. There are also some products that have to be unregistered on the old system so they can be re-registered on the new one. I don't know how PCmover handles that situation. One other thing about applications: upgraded programs can be a hassle. Some upgrades give you a break on the price and get you the complete product; some require the license key from the previous version before they'll let you install the new version; and some actually require a previous version to be installed. Many of my applications are upgrades from previous versions, going back five or six generations in some cases, so if I had to rebuild my system from scratch it would be ugly.
