I just got a new laptop, and I need to know the best way to transfer my photos and files to my new computer..?

Question

I don't have a flash drive either, is there a way to get my song files transferred as well? Should I just buy a flash drive?

Answer 1

I just did mine through my home network (we have 3 computers hooked up through a router). You can burn them to CD/DVD, you can email them to yourself as attachements. You can look into online storage places like mediamax and photobucket depending on what the files are. Mediamax is free and holds up to 25gb of any file, including music and video files.

Answer 2

Flash drives are cheap - pick one up for under $20. It'll come in handy in the future as well.

If both computers have a network port, you could hook them up in a network and transfer the files that way.

Got a CD Burner on the other computer? That's another way.

Enclose your hard drive with the enclosure.
Connect the enclosure (w/ old hard drive) to laptop usb port.

You can get a professional to do it for you, but it might cost more money, so you might just want to get the flash drive.
