I updated from Windows 8 to the new Windows 8.1.
I want to CREATE a Windows Easy Transfer file on the Windows 8.1 machine. When using WET, it just does not have that option. Is this discontinued in Windows 8.1 or a bug?
Is there a way to create a WET file on the 8.1 machine?
Many thanks!

Hi,
Windows Easy Transfer is removed from Windows 8.1.
Items that now can be easily transfered by using SkyDrive in combination with other services and tools, such as Xbox Music to back up your music collection, and File History to keep files always backup and up-to-date.
You may refer to the thread link and the suggestions provided by Michael Day [MSFT].
