You take a CD-RW and you copy as much as you can on the CD from the old computer. You may have to use a few of these CDs. Then reformat your old computer by installing Windows again or by formatting and using your recovery CD.\n\nThen take your CD and just manually move them to your new computer.

Install a router, to allow them both net access.\nThen install all the programmes and files that you need to keep, on the new machine...   and take anything that you don't want messed with off the old one\nBrowser favourites and bookmarks can be exported/imported from old to new.\nBy far the easiest way to move stuff around is after they are bother connected to the router, because you can make them visible to each other ("shareable").  Failing that, invest in a small "flash drive" - a portable memory device that fits in the USB port on each machine

I don't think you can do that. There might be a few small apps that would run that way but anything substantial would require being installed in the host.\nMy guess is the best you could do would be copy the program to a portable drive and then run the install when you hook to a PC.

Im sorry but ive never done that to any of my computers. But, i can tell that im not sure if upgrading wil lose any of your programs, but to make sure you dont. Copy all of your programs that you want,to a recordable CD. After you upgrade it, just put back in the CD's and put the programs back. It's the only   way i know to guarantee that you dont lose your files. Good Luck =D

Just use the CD, if you don't have the CD copy all the files in the program files folder-> c:&#92;programfiles

Do you have a CD-rom burner?\n\nYou can just burn all your files to a CD and then use it as a data CD. Then you can just slide the CD into the new computer and copy the files from it. \n\nOr you can just put all your files into a file hosting website like http://www.xdrive.com and you can use their file hosting server to upload all your files from your old computer. Then on your new computer, you will need to get internet connection again, and then you can just download them back.\n\nOr you can even try and setup a network connection between the two computers and just transfer the files over.\n\nContact me through my profile if you need step by step help, but I will need more information from you as well.

With the help of CD. Burn the files on CD and then copy it on another computer.

Best solution I can think of would be to get a 5 1/4 drive and install it onto the new computer. If you run into a problem, find another computer that would have a 5 1/4 and USB ports (or install a card).  Use a USB Flash drive to transport the files.

there is no easy way of doing this. you have 2 options. 1.  take you computer to a shop and ask them to transfer you hard drive to DVD or CD. or 2. you can remove the drive from your lap top buy and external hard drive case for a small hard drive (laptop hard drive) install your hard drive into the case and then connect it to your new PC and transfer the files that way.

Check out the User Migration tool called "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard"  in Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools\n\nIt can migrate a lot of data.  You may have to setup custom filters or tell it to move the entire user directory under c:&#92;documents and settings\n\nAlso check a search engine for documentation on how to use that tool if you need more reference.  Thanks.

You can't just MOVE the programs.   So you would have to UNINSTALL the program, then REINSTALL it, and pick the external drive.\n\nBut I recommend that you move ALL of your data to the external drive.  Uninstall programs that you don;t really use.  \n\nBe sure to keep the original disk that came with every program.  if you downloaded the program, be sure to make a CD of that original installer.  \n\nGood luck

There are many ways to transfere data. If you have a network hub or switch you can connect both PCs and try it. If not you might wanna use either a ethernet crossover-cable check this out\nhttp://gccprinters.com/support/doc/crossover.html\n\nor you can use a usb computer-computer link\nhttp://www.windowsnetworking.com/j_helmig/usbmain.htm\n\nor finally you can just use a flash drive.

take the hard drive out and stick it into your other computer

Your best bet is to start with Dell's website.\n\nIf you want to move your entire system (XP, programs, data), then you'll want a program such as "Migrate Easy" by Acronis.

win xp will do it just go to your transfer and settings wizard

Try a free file transfer service such as http://www.rapidupload.com or http://www.myfilehut.com .\n\nIf the computers both have serial ports, there are cables and programs you can buy to connect them together.  In the days of DOS there was a popular one called Laplink.  Don't know if that's still around but I'm sure your local computer store can tell you what the modern equivalent is.\n\nIf the computers both have USB ports you could use a small external drive that is expressly designed for transferring files.  Again, check with your local computer store to see the variety available.
