About the different ways of browser bookmarks transfer from one PC to another

EaseUS Todo PCTrans is responsible for the first two ways. The software's way of bookmarks transfer over two computers should follow two rules:

• The browser is not a default Windows browser, such as IE in Windows 7 and Microsoft Edge in Windows 10.
• The browser is on computer 1 but not on computer 2.

The third way is all about doing it yourself. It's time-consuming but with few restrictions. This manual way also applies to all Windows default browsers. 

In a nutshell, all three manners are excellent choices when you want to sync your browser bookmarks on two computers, but the following information might help you better make the final decision.

• To transfer bookmarks to another computer nearby on the same LAN, go with the Network way.
• To transfer bookmarks to another computer at a long distance, for example, one is in the office while the other is at home, go with the latter two ways.

Step 3: On computer 2, open the same browser and the bookmarks manager.

Step 4: Choose Import bookmarks this time, locate the HTML backup file on the flash drive and import.
