there are many ways to do this, either you can burn a cd with the saved data and put it in your laptop. or you can have and pen drive/flash drive and transfer the data. another way wud be to network these two computers and transfer the data. you can even use internet for the same if data in not too much, you can email it to your self and later can open and download it in your laptop.

memory upgrades help. PCs are cheap now. The cost and effort of upgrading an old PC may not be worth it. Just buy a new one.

There is a program you can buy that allows you to transfer all your programs, documents, pictures etc...  It's called transfer file.  i bought it and it works great

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

You can take off the laptop harddrive and add it to the new desktop pc as another harddrive, then you can access the added harddrive from the desktop. \nI assume your laptop file system is the same as the desktop, if not the desktop must be NTFS.

You can sell (or donate) an old PC but don't be surprised at how little it is now worth. You should remove your old hard drive and install a brand new one so that your personal information is not being passed along with the machine.\n\nMany big PC buyers have an arrangement in the purchase contract where the vendor takes the old machines off their hands as part of the sale so they don't have to deal with the issues of what to do with them.\n///

did u install an operating system or not yet ?\n\nif yes, then open "My Computer" if u use windows operating system and right click on each drive and chose properties.\n\nif no, then the easiest way is to plug ur hard drive to another pc which has an operating system and do the same\n\n\ngood luck mate.. ;)

you could install it as a slave drive and transfer files and install an os, then either switch the control for master/slave (varies by computer) or just switch the cables with the old hd. (you may have to switch places too, some of those cables are short and inflexible)

If they are seperate whole computers, (meaning your not just changing parts and keeping the hard drive) one way is to network the two computers together (connect both computers directly by plugging in the internet cable from one computer directly to the other.) and then on both computer go to start>programs>accessories>system tools>files and settings transfer wizard. then just follow the prompts and it should work if you do not have a firewall on either computer. if you have a firewall you will need to disable it temporarily.\n\nanother way that takes longer but is a little more simple is manually transfer the files by backing up all your programs onto a cd, or mass removable storage media like an external HD and then just transfer your files and programs from the old computer to the new one that way.

Easiest way is to use the utilities available from the hard drive manufacturer.  All new hard drives come with a CD that gives you the option to copy everything from your old hard drive to your new one.  Plug in both drives, boot from the CD, and copy.  This is probably the best way as it doesn't use an operating system to copy contents over to the new drive (the operating system locks/hide certain files while in use).  It would, of course, only serve them well to provide such a feature.

If both computers are sharing the same network (router) --  I know this works on XP and 2000\n\nOn the old computer: put files to be copied to  the "shared folder". \n\nOn the new computer: Open an explore window, go to "my network places and find the other computer. You should be able to drag the files to the new computer (to a folder or whereever you want it to go)

There is no way to actualy get " both " memories they are seprate hard drives but if you want to transfer a game or something like that over to another computer, you can use file and transfer wizard |start|all programs|accessories|system tools|file transfer wizard|, make shur your two computers are networked via a crossover cable if they both do not have internet

Run the Files & Settings transfer Again and click on this is the new computer and when it ask you for the location of the back direct it to the cd rom or where ever you have the files and let it do its thing.

only with a special cabel.  I would suggest getting a jump drive (usb memory stick) and transfering the files that way.  If the HDD has crashed then you have a very expensive option.

just move the file into the new HD... then open it... make sure it works... then delete the file from your master HD...

Just put your old hard drive in as a slave drive and then copy the files you want to the new hard drive. You obviously cannot get programs (unless it is just a single exe. file and nothing else) because it has to be installed and it is a different operating system.
