The USB 3.0 adapter promises gigabit ethernet speed, and it delivers as per most of the reviewers on Amazon. So far, it has managed to rake in around 4.5-stars out of 5 with over 75% 5-star reviews. WSL 2 provides the benefits of WSL 1, including seamless integration between Windows and Linux, fast boot times, a small resource footprint, and requires no VM configuration or management. While WSL 2 does use a VM, it is managed and run behind the scenes, leaving you with the same user experience as WSL 1.

New Task Switcher with Search

The main advantage of Alt-Tab Terminator is a brand-new switching window. Unlike to the standard Alt-Tab, it shows a live desktop preview of the selected application and an easy-to-read relevant list of tasks with titled icons so you can find the one you need immediately at a glance.

Search by Title: After opening Alt-Tab Terminator, just start typing to quickly filter windows in the task list by the title or application name. Finding the right window has never been easier!

Live Preview: Visualization is the key point. Alt-Tab Terminator shows you the exact live desktop preview of the application you want to switch to, even if it has multiple child windows.

App Cloud: Click the application names below preview to filter windows of the selected application. Press Alt + ` (Backtick – the key above Tab) to switch between windows of the active application.

Clear Large Labels: Multiple window titles are arranged on a vertical task list; a large icon is placed by each one of them. Finding the right window has become much quicker.

Mouse & Keyboard Shortcuts: Navigate through the task list with the keyboard (Tab, Arrow Keys, Home, End, etc.) or the mouse – simply place the mouse pointer over a task or use the mouse wheel.

Full Screen Mode: Press F11 or click the Full Screen button in the bottom-left corner to maximize the switcher window to the whole screen.

Quick & Easy Customization: Press the Menu button in the top-left corner of Alt-Tab Terminator to access the program menu and settings.

Window Manager: With Alt-Tab Terminator, you get the full control over opened windows – you can close, minimize, maximize, restore the main window, run a new copy or terminate the application.

There is a keyboard shortcut to every action. For example, pressing F4 will close the selected window, similar to the default Alt+F4 shortcut – easy to remember and use!

Support for Windows 10 and UAC

Alt-Tab Terminator works with 32-bit and 64-bit applications, even if you run them with administrative privileges. It also supports high DPI and modern Windows Store apps on Windows 10.

Alt-Tab Terminator runs only on Windows 7/8/10, 32-bit and 64-bit. The native 64-bit version is included in the setup package and installed automatically.

After setting up Windows 10, you may still need to transfer all your files to the new computer. Typically, you can use an external storage to copy the files and move them over to the new device. Or if you're a tech-savvy user, you probably transfer the files over to the network using file share.

While these are all good options, depending on the amount of data you need to transfer, using File Explorer, the process can take a long time. If you want to copy a lot of files faster and more reliably, you need a better solution, such as Robocopy.

Robocopy (Robust File Copy) is a command-line tool built into Windows 10, but it's been around for years, and it's a powerful and flexible tool to migrate files extremely fast.

In this guide, you'll learn the steps to use Robocopy to quickly transfer a lot of files over the network on Windows 10.

How to use Robocopy to copy files over the network fast

The features included with Robocopy allows you to copy files very quickly, but remember that you'll need a wired connection for the best experience. The time to complete the transfer will depend on the network connection speed and drive performance.

This is a two-step process. You must first configure file sharing on the source device, and then use Robocopy in the destination device to perform the transfer.

Configuring file sharing on Windows 10

To copy files between two computers, you must enable file sharing in the source device to allow Robocopy access to copy the files from the destination device.

To share files on your local network using the express settings, use these steps:

1. Open File Explorer on Windows 10.

2. Navigate to the folder with the files that you want to migrate.

3. Right-click the folder, and select the Properties option.

4. On the 'Properties' page, click the Sharing tab.

5. Click the Share button.

6. Use the drop-down menu to select the user or group to share file or folder. (For the purpose of this guide, select the Everyone group.)

7. Click the Add button.

8. Under 'Permission Level,' select the type of sharing permissions you want the folder to have. For example, you can select Read (default) if you only want users to be able to view and open files. If you select Read/Write, users can view, open, modify, and delete the content on the folder you're sharing.

9. Click the Share button.

10. Note the network path for the folder that other users will need to access the content over the network, and click the Done button.

11. Click the Close button.

After you complete the steps, make note of the folder path and the IP address of your source computer.

Once file sharing is configured on the source device, you can proceed to copy the files using Robocopy from the destination device.

Robocopy command options explained

Windows Switcher Windows 10

Robocopy has a lot of features that you can use, and in the command shown in this guide, we're using the following options to make copy reliable and fast.

• /S — Copy subdirectories, but not empty ones.
• /E — Copy Subdirectories, including empty ones.
• /Z — Copy files in restartable mode.
• /ZB — Uses restartable mode, if access denied use backup mode.
• /R:5 — Retry 5 times (you can specify a different number, default is 1 million).
• /W:5 — Wait 5 seconds before retrying (you can specify a different number, the default is 30 seconds).
• /TBD — Wait for sharenames To Be Defined (retry error 67).
• /NP — No Progress – don't display percentage copied.
• /V — Produce verbose output, showing skipped files.
• /MT:16 — Do multithreaded copies with n threads (default is 8).

Perhaps the most important switch to pay attention is /MT, which is a feature that enables Robocopy to copy files in multithreaded mode. Typically, when you copy files using File Explorer, you're only copying one file at a time, but with multithreaded enabled, you can copy multiple files at the same time better utilizing the bandwidth and significantly speeding up the process.

If you don't set a number when using the /MT switch, then the default number will be 8, which means that Robocopy will try to copy eight files at the same time, but the tool supports 1 to 128 threads.

In the command shown in this guide, we're using 16, but you can set it to a higher number. The only caveat is that the greater the number, the more processing power and bandwidth will be utilized. If you have an older processor and an unreliable network connection, it could cause issues, as such make sure to test the command before executing the command with a high number of threads.
