How do you transfer saved pics on a laptop to another?

Question

Can I save it on a floppy disk and will it still open right? Or will I get an error box when I open it from the disk on another comp? How do I do it?

Answer 1

Well, if you mean how do you transfer one computer's files to another, the cheapest way is to either use an existing storage device and go little by little or pay under $10 and buy a ethernet cable. You can then use the ethernet cable to connect the two computers through a simple home network and use the "share" option to allow one computer to access the other computer's files. Setting up the ethernet is quite easy, just follow the instructions for setting up a home network (on all windows XP) and set your IP addresses. I use 255.255.255.0 and 255.255.255.1.

Of course, if the image files are small, and you dont need to do heavy duty transferring, using a CD-RW or a floppy disk or email is a good choice. And yes, it will open right.

Answer 2

Floppy disk or cd should work no problem depending on what format the files are (Jpeg is universal and is best!).
Look into sending over a network if you have lots of files to send.

Answer 3

Floppy disks???? Most laptop PC's today use CD burner techonology. Familiarize yourself with your laptop's CD burner software.

Once done: burn your pics onto a CD, then insert THAT CD into another laptop.

Or you can EMAIL the pics from one computer, to the other, given you have two different email addresses.

Answer 4

1. don't use floppy disk cause it has >1.5mb -.- takes u ages if u are send lots of pics

2. email it =)

3. make a torrent

4. thumbdrive

5. mp3 or storage media (700mb CD or DVD)

Answer 5

depends theres ltos of ways. if your floppy is formated and saved on a compatable program it will work. a zip drive will work too or a cd or just use a usb cable to transfer it..

Answer 6

The most obvious way I can think of is to email it to yourself.

Answer 7
