The easiest way to transfer data, especially complete data sets and groups, from one computer to another is to copy the data from the C:\TWM files on your hard drive to a USB flash drive, and then physically transfer the data to the next computer.
COPY TWM FILES FROM A LAPTOP
I recommend that you use a USB memory stick to copy the files onto. I would recommend that you buy at least a 2 gig USB drive, if you do not already have one.
- Start the lap top that has the TWM Data on that you want to copy. Allow windows to startup. Install the USB disk drive into a USB port on your computer.
