Right after some sound advice off here finally purchased an i5 pc, now i need an external hard drive to back up wifes work. Was wondering can I take files off the old PC on to the hard drive then back on to the new PC? Hope that makes sense.

Yeah, thats exactly how you do it

Copy & Paste

Files, yes. Programs, no.

cheers

I have a external hdd if you want to borrow it
