Transferring Files Between laptops (No Internet)?

Question

I have a laptop running Vista and one running Windows 8.1 Need to transfer from vista to 8.1..
I don't have internet or a network created for the two p.c.
I think if you create a network and enable file sharing, you can transfer the files that way, but I don't really know how to do so without Internet.

Any help would be appreciated..
thanks
