How to Transfer Data on an Old Laptop to a New One




Things You’ll Need:

* New computer with internet capability
* Old computer with internet capability
* A wireless network

Step1
First, connect your old computer to the wireless network. Nowadays most people use the interent through a wireless network. So basically, if you have wireless internet and you are able to get on the internet... that means you are connected.

Step2
Go into the networks settings. This is usually as simple as right clicking the network's icon and then clicking properties. What you want to do is turn on, "file and printer sharing" within the network.

Step3
Now, go to the folders/data that you want to transfer. Right click or get into the properties of that folder. Check the box that says "share this fodler with network".

Step4
On the new computer, connect to the wireless network. Under control panel or possibly the start menu, there should be an option for "My Network Places" or "My Network". In this folder you should find the data that you chose to share from your old computer. You can simply copy/paste or drag/drop the files to your new computer.
