Windows 11 is testing a new wireless PC-to-PC data transfer feature

Back in the older versions of Windows, there used to be a handy feature called Windows Easy Transfer that painlessly guided the process of migrating files and settings from one computer to another. Sadly, it was discontinued with Windows 10 as Microsoft wanted users to start using its OneDrive cloud storage instead. But it seems like Windows Easy Transfer might be making a comeback, at least in spirit. According to Windows Latest, Microsoft is testing a new feature in Windows Backup that allegedly behaves in a similar way. Here's a bit of the Windows Migration flow in the latest Dev build, 26200.5600 (also in Beta 26120.3964). This is in the actual Backup app, not the UI reconstruction we saw earlier this year. pic.twitter.com/rwImzRJoJE— phantomofearth
