You can buy a program from any computer store (like circuit city) that will do it all for you in a couple simple steps. Just like installing any new software you just put the disc in & follow the onscreen directions. There are many to choose from that offer different variety of options. Probably from about $40 up to $$$ depending on the program. Hope this helps, best of luck to you! - A. -2DMF'n- J.

Step 1: Blank CD-R/CD-RW can be used to burn your smaller files. From My Computer, drag your files onto your CD Drive Write those files to the CD. Once it is done burning, you can transfer the files to your new laptop.

Step 2: A Portable Flash Drive works the same as a CD, but can be a much faster process. Insert your Flash Drive and drag your files onto that drive (in My Computer).

you could either copy your computers memory directory (from my computer) onto a large external hard drive, and copy it off your hard drive onto your new computer. the other option is to upload your computer's memory directory onto a cloud network and download it onto your new computer(this will likely take several hours, depending on the amount of stuff you have and your internet speed)

because your music is saved on the old computer. You are logging in to your iTunes store account so you can continue to purchase music.
