Hello @JGLTX 

Sorry to hear that you are having problems ... I would like to help you.

(1) For beginners, I find these instructions very useful. You need an external <USB hard drive> or a <USB flash drive> with a large capacity.

(2) On the destination computer, proceed in reverse order. The source is the external <USB hard disk> or <USB flashdrive> and the destination is the user profile with folders documents/pictures/videos etc. ....

 

Kind regards
