Hosts, you will also need a specialized software for the Unless the transfer cable can emulate a network adapter for both This is why for generic USB-C you still need a PC-to-PC data transferĬable, that acts for both computers as a device so both computersĬan act as hosts, which Windows does well. Most computers don’t usually have software (or hardware)Īllowing them to act as devices, although it is possible to install Physically possible, still ends up with one end being required to However, connecting two USB-C desktops together with a USB-C cable, although The two ends to negotiate to work out which acts as computer and which as USB-C gets rid of the physical USB-A/B distinction and instead allows Also, there is no answer regarding the USB-C ↔ USB data transfer. It is not clear from the above excerpt whether an USB-C ↔ USB-C connection between two computer, with an ordinary cable (not a data transfer cable), is possible. All it takes is one computer to have the right software to support a network device on a USB-C port, and the other to have the right software to emulate a network device on a USB-C port. So, if you have two computers with USB-C ports, and a USB-C cable, then the chances are that all the hardware is there to make a 20 Gbps connection between the two. There is a similar question ( Is it possible to connect two PCs via USB C?) but the answers there are a bit speculative.
I do not really understand why as long as ordinary cables like: USB ↔ Micro-USB, USB ↔ USB-C, USB-C ↔ USB-C can be used for transferring files between a mobile phone and a PC. Various sites say that using an ordinary USB ↔ USB cable for PC to PC data transfer is not a solution.
PC to PC data transfer cable (which I do not have). Remark: I know that, with some software, files can be transferred from one PC to another using a special USB ↔ USB cable like this one: I have a Win 10 64-bit HP laptop (model: 15-dw0088ca) which has 1 USB-C port and two USB ports.Ĭan I use an ordinary USB-C ↔ USB-C cable, like the one in Pic 1, to transfer files from this HP computer to another one that also has an USB-C port?Ĭan I use an ordinary USB-C ↔ USB cable, like the one in Pic 2, to transfer files from this HP computer to another one that only has USB ports (no USB-C port)?
