(honestly, LAN is the best solution so far. Cloud is good too, but slower to upload than a direct LAN transfer)

Didn't see a size but have you tried Google drive? Upload and then install on new laptop.

They load, nothing in them. Still getting the back up failed. I'm done.

I'm betting you have your Win7 laptop setup to encrypt files, and you don't even know it. You can't copy encrypted data from one machine to another without the other machine having the decrypt key. If your files really are encrypted, the cable transfer will probably fail, too, unless you have transfer software that will take care of the decryption.

How would I know if they're encrypted?

Select a file or folder.
Right click.
Click "Properties"
Under the General tap, click "Advanced"
Look for the "Encrypt contents..." box.

If it's checked, uncheck it. Do that for all the files/folders. I think you can do it in bulk.

Many options:

1. Put on same network/home group and share. Drag and drop.

2. USB thumb drive or external hard drive (Drag and Drop)

3. Google Drive gives you 15GB (Drag and Drop). If you need more space just delete the Drive storage once moved to new machine.

4. Sata Converter cable. Pull your old hard drive and connect to USB on new PC. Seen as added drive. (Drag and drop.)
5. Get Hard drive enclosure for old HD. (Drag and Drop)

6. Pornhub already has your videos to stream so no reason for a hard copy.
