Product: HP Pavilion
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I just purchased a new Windows 10 computer.  Before shutting down my old Windows 7 desktop, I was instructed to use Windows Easy Transfer and put my files on a USB drive.   After setting up my new Windows 10 computer, I'm now told that Windows 10 no longer uses Easy Transfer (how nice of them to tell you AFTER the fact).  Now I don't know what to do.  I have a USB drive with the Easy Transfer files but I don't know how to get them onto my Windows 10 computer - help!

Well, They should make software compatible for at least 5 generations. From Windows 7 to Windows 10 is only 3 (well 4 including 8.1) generations. You can start over again, please try the following ways
