Hello
I am a first time poster, but a long time user of Linux, you may be wondering why I am transferring from Linux to Windows as if I am leaving Linux or something, but no that is not the case!
What happened was I am my families resident IT employee and my nanas 10 yr old computer hard drive has started to show signs of slowing down and decay. It has eventually got to the point of wear the Windows OS has been corrupted but all of her over 20,000 pictures are still accessible through booting into Ubuntu from a USB drive.
She has purchased a new windows laptop and wants me to transfer all of this data over to the new laptop. I have transferred Windows to Windows before but never from Linux to Windows. I watched a few youtube tutorials and followed the steps of setting up the IP on one to 192.168.1.1 and the other to 192.168.1.2 and Subnet to 255.255.255.0 and the gateway the mirror of the opposite and have had no luck establishing a connection between the two or transferring any data.
Is their something I am missing? Is their some other way to do this without using SSH or something internet based as their internet speeds leave a lot to be desired.
Thanks for the help!
