Answer 1

1. If your Desktop PC and laptop is connected to a network, you can share folders from your laptop and access it from your Desktop PC.

2. Purchase a USB Flash Drive, 2 GB is around $30.

3. Burned your laptop data to a CD and transfer it to your Desktop PC.

4. Purchase an external Hard Drive. This is expensive.

Answer 2

You can get software and cables for data transfer, and this might be worth considering if you have massive amounts to transfer. But generally a USB thumb drive, or a writable CD are easier and more convenient for normal purposes.

Answer 3

I generally use Pen drive (thumb drive) to transfer data - which I feel is the simple and efficient method.

However we can also do the same thing through bluetooth etc. wireless technology which again is a big process when compared to the thumbdrive process

Answer 4

The easiest way is to buy a USB Thumb Drive. Transfer to the drive and then to the computer.

Lots of data? Network them through the LAN ports. Smaller amount of data? Use a flash drive! Good luck. ;-)=
