Laura, you shgould be able to plug your external drive into the new computer, than copy things over ...

You would think that but I can't do it or figure out a lot of things in this windows 8.. I've tried to copy and past......that option wasn't even there... Tried dragging and dropping.... Can only have one page on the desktop at a time... I got all my stuff saved and no way to transfer it... I'll keep trying to figure it out. (hope so anyway!)

Where did you buy your new computer? I would think that the store would offer to help you to set it up or at least show you how to operate a windows 8 computer. Good luck.

I don't know if you saw my post several days ago on your FB page, but I gave you some links from the Geek Squad about windows 8.
