data transfer from old pc to new one

[stony]

What is the best way to do it? I've just bought a new laptop because my old desktop is being a ****. It boots up when it wants, but never when I want it too, but it has some shit on there that I need. Photos and ebooks mainly and I don't want to lose them.
How do I transfer them to my new laptop?

Firewire transfer through USB. Although I'd check with @TCIB whether it's worth turning your desktop hard drive into portable memory first.

You should be able to transfer the files directly with a USB cable (one that looks like the bigger end of a smartphone cable on both ends). Ask Ginger **** if you get stuck.

I use something similar to this

http://www.ebuyer.com/store/Storage/cat/Hard-Drive-Accessories/subcat/Docking-Stations-&-Adaptors

take drive out of your pc
drop it into the docking station
plug the docking station into laptop (usb)
shows up on your laptop as an extra drive
drag off what you want

or

get someone to fit the drive into their desktop

Is a USB stick not the simplest solution? Ebooks and photos don't take up that much room.

 

[Second Skin]

If you have router, you can connect them both to that via ethernet cable and then drag and drop.

If there isn't too much you can install onedrive or dropbox and use them to sync.

Haha, I've been fucking about with it all morning. I had to buy a new pc because my old one refused to boot up all day yesterday. I decided on a laptop and as soon as I'd bought it, the old one booted up. I've been busy getting rid of some of the bloatware they come loaded with. Not sure I like windows 10.

Microsoft pulled a cheeky one there, it's getting accepted because it's better than that steaming pile of shit Windows 8. 7 was much easier to navigate on and less resource draining.

Windows 10 is a pain,worse thing i ever did was download it,go through the settings and change the auto updates to manuel or it'll spend hours do that and you have to wait ages to use it
