The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Go to Network and Sharing Center, turn on Sharing. Wait a few minutes as the two computers have a little chat.

    On the computer with the file, Click on View Computers and Devices. You will see all the computers and your router (at least) in the window that appears.

    Double Click on the computer you want the file on and it should show you a PUBLIC folder. Drag the file you want to move there.

    Wait for the file to move over and then on the computer you wanted the file on pull it out of your public folder and put it where you want.

    64bit doesn't change data at all. It just changes the executable programs. So no, there will be no incompatibility at all.
