How do you get pics off my old computer and put them on my new one?

Question

I upgraded to a new computer, and have only one place to hook up one computer in my home, so how can i get all my pics to the new one? Please help.

Answer 1

1) transfer them using a USB Flashdrive

2) Have the Hard drive removed from the old PC, and fitted as a secondary hard drive inside the new one.

3) Buy an external HDD enclosure that hooks up to a USB port on the new computer......... just put the hard drive from the old PC in that, and use it as an external hard drive...... that's how I've been doing it the past couple of weeks getting stuff onto my new PC after my old one completely died.
Just shows up as either "USB Mass Storage device" or "Removable disk", and you can just copy & paste the files from the old drive onto the new one.

Answer 2

You can do it a few ways - You can use a flash drive, floppy, cd (if you have a burner), or any other memory device, then hook the new one up again and transfer. You can also hook the old hard drive into the new computer as a slave drive and access all of the information off it. Hooking it in as a slave drive is some what complicated as you will have to set some jumpers and settings for it, so I recomend setting one up then the other and using a memory card of sort.

Answer 3

Without knowing the specifics of either computer I am taking a shot in the dark, but a flash (USB) drive is probably the best bet. Simply click and drag from the old computer to the drive them plug it into the new computer and upload them. Flash drives have comedown alot recently so depending on the number of pics, it shouldn't be too big of a hassle. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

there's a few ways to transfer your pics
1 - if both computers have a floppy drive - put the pics onto a floppy disk
2 - if the old one has a cd burner - burn the pics to a disk
3 - connect the old computer to the internet - upload them to a website such as yahoo 360 or webshots.com (which you have to sign up for .. but it's free)
4 - compose / open an email and attach them to the email then email them to yourself (this way may take a while depending on how many pics you have to transfer over)

Answer 5

Your best bet would be to burn it all to a cd, and transfer it that way, but if you feel confident, you can take out the hard disk drive from your old PC, and install it in your new one.

Answer 6

Use a jump drive to transfer them. If you don't have a jump drive, them copy the photos on a CD and transfer the photos from the CD to the new system.

Answer 7

there are a number of ways to do this but the simplest way would probably be to get a USB memory stick and transfer them.
