With your personal files (pictures, videos, music, documents) there won't be any problem if you do the back up you can move wherever you want, but with the applications (programs) I think you just cannot move them like that unles you use a program like Norton Ghost. I would suggest you to save your files to the external hard drive and install your programs in your old Dell (windows Xp, media players,etc...)
