Use an external HD... If you want your apps an data you can use PCmover. But PC mover is not perfect.

Yes you can, thats pretty much what we used it for and also to transfer all the old data from the old hard drive to a newer one.

Hi Rodney. I've been using PC Mover for several years... It's a great product. The answer to your question is a little tricky. IF you can connect BOTH computers to the same network (e.g. in your home or office), either by wire OR by wireless (or even a combination), then PC Mover can do the entire transfer over the network. It's pretty easy. When you load the software, it'll ask how you want to do the transfer. Select "Network". Load the software on both computers (I think they want you to load the "new" computer first, but the instructions will talk you through that) and follow the rest of the instructions. If you can't get both of the computers on the same network, then you'll need a USB transfer cable OR you'll have to connect both "hard drives" to the same computer (I'm a technician, so that's easy for me to do... Most people wouldn't go that route). I hope that helps. If you need more assistance, feel free to write.

Buy the enclosure, install your hard drive in it, plug it into a usb port of a working computer. Drive will show as an external drive. (like a flash drive). Open the drive and transfer the data from it to the working computer.

Sort of... you can swap it out yes.... if you just want to copy data you can just hook both up and copy the data using Windows. If you want to copy over programs or an operating system its possible but its much more complex and it sounds like you would need assistance from someone with a deeper computer background.

Depends on the file system you use, out of the box it can transfer files upto ~64GB

Yes, with a caveat. I am not possitive, but i think seagate made a utility to do this. Since it contains your OP System, you cant just transfer files over. Here is an article on how to do what you want. http://lifehacker.com/5837543/how-to-migrate-to-a-solid-state-drive-without-reinstalling-windows

Buy an inexpensive pass-through cable that goes from the ethernet (network) on your old PC to the ethernet connection on your new PC. Tripp Lite N201-003-YW Cat6 Gigabit Yellow Snagless Molded Patch Cable RJ45M/M - 3 feet is less than $10. In Windows Help look for Peer-to-Peer network connection for directions to get them talking to each other. This is the fastest way to transfer your files. I just did this last week and it was delightfully easy,

I have simply transferred files via USB. I have not done anything else that would be higher end.

The drive should be compatible with your laptop. Hopefully, your existing drive isn't totally gone and you have the means to transfer your existing info to the new drive.

Yes very easily. Open the hard drive file letter your hard drive is connected to example computer/a then drag that file to this letter. Etc Etc

You need a USB slot to do a copy of your operating system. If not, take the hard drive out and use a desktop to transfer the data from the old lap top to the new.

Yu can transfer any pes file through the USB cable. Almost all OSes work. Including Xp. It will just show up as an extra drive when linked

As long as the disk drive isn't dead/damaged, you should be able to plug right in and transfer files.

Yes. Just go to advanced options and choose which wiles you want to transfer. It takes forever to actually *do* the transfer, but it works. I'm sending my laptop some videos from my desktop right now, and they're both windows 7

As long as your machine has a Firewire 800 port you should be okay. What matters is the hardware you are using and not the operating system. You can just drag and drop files to the WD, but I use Carbon Copy Cloner and Super Duper to automate my backups.

You will always need the computer to transfer whatever you want. The only direct way is with the voice recorder, and I know that is not what you meant by direct.
