Please help a computer idiot transition
Not THAT kind of transition! :eek:
I've been running a hand me down desktop (Windows 8.1!) in the Man Hovel for about 10 years now. We have a Surface Book 2 with Windows 10 Pro that's not being used and I'm thinking about replacing the tower with the SB2. I know I'll need a USB extender to handle my dongles ([Beavis]hehheheheheh he said dongle hehheheheheheh[/Beavis]) for the wireless keyboard and mouse and some kind of adapter for the speakers and external monitor. I've got an external drive I can use to store my pictures, etc and at least 1 2TB thumb drive I can use to copy the entire HD if I need to. I also have a Seagate backup drive but the one time I tried to use it I never could get anything to transfer.
Is there an easy button to make this transition? Something like plugging the laptop into the desktop and transferring everything but the operating system over? Please type slowly and use small words. Doing anything with computers besides the bare basics I might have learned in 1990 is one step above black magic to me...:confused:
Thanks! :cool:
