You will need to purchase a simple adapter. IDE drives are electronically compatible with their desktop counterparts, but have smaller connectors. SATA drives use the same connectors, and thus you only need mounting brackets.

Are the hard drives for laptops the same for Desktop computers?

Laptop hard drives are very similar to desktop hard drives, indeed they work in exactly the same way and even use the same interfaces. However laptop hard drives are designed to be much smaller (2 inches as opposed to 3.5) and draw less power than desktop hard drives. As a result laptop hard drives are usually much slower in terms of data transfer and have much smaller storage capacity than a desktop hard drive of the same year manufacture. With an adapter it is possible to use a laptop hard drive in a desktop computer, and if mounted externally it is also possible to use a desktop hard drive on a laptop.

How can I connect my laptop to a wireless router?

There are two ways to connect your laptop to a router, wired and wireless. If your laptop is fairly new, it will likely support both types of connections. The easiest way to connect your laptop is wired. If your router is in the same room as your laptop, or if your router doesn't have wireless functionality, then you should wire it. Just get a standard ethernet cable, with the length depending on how far you have to connect it. However, if you want to be able to walk around your house or even go outside without cables holding you back, set up a wireless connection, if your laptop and router support it. You have to use network connections to connect to an available network, which you will have to set up using software that comes with your router. Once you are connected, you can go anywhere and receive internet as long as you are still in range of your router. Getting a more powerful router will increase your range.
