Transferring Files to Different Computers

When you have a need to transfer several files from one computer to another, there are several options to consider.  The most common method to transfer files is to use a USB storage device; these devices can store around one to two gigabytes of data, and are great for moving smaller text based documents.  For larger files like music or video, it’s best to consider using an external hard drive.  These devices are like much larger versions of a USB storage device, and can store all the data from one computer.  There is also the option to use the internet, in which you can transfer files through two computers on the same network provided you have the IP addresses and passwords for both. 

If your problem is that your computer is broken or won’t start and you need to extract necessary files from the hard drive, you will have to remove the hard drive and bring it to a computer servicing location.  Luckily, the entire process of transferring one hard drive to another is quite simple and inexpensive; don’t let the computer servicer charge you more than needed!
